Book Description
Do you know who you are? Are you comfortable in your skin? Outed by her best friend in front of the whole neighborhood, Niya is trying to come to terms with being a lesbian. When she falls for her straight neighbor Jamilla, there is no more denying who she really is. Niya will do whatever it takes to prove her love, even if it means taking a life. What will happen when family issues, fame, the struggle for love, and reality set in? How will Niya deal with a hip-hop career as she tries to repair her broken heart and family issues? Signing with Green Note Records may just bring fulfillment and love to Niya when the sexy R & B diva Brazil Noelle swoops in and aims for her heart. Niya has always been the hero, but is she willing to be saved? Will her feelings for Jamilla block what could actually be her chance to get back the love she always gives? Jamilla is drowning in the reality of her home life. She is forced to face a real-life monster on a daily basis, and the shame of her past is slowly killing everything beautiful about her. Just when she thinks life isn't worth living, she befriends Niya and becomes confused by the extremely close, unconventional friendship and the high sexual tension that sends her head spinning. Will her fling with a male "straighten" her out for good, or will it help her to realize that love has no boundaries? How long can this game of friendship last when love is the stronger opponent? Join the tormented twosome on an undeniable thrill ride as they travel down the rocky road of self-discovery. Niya and Jamilla will combat their fears, violence, distractions, extortion, love, denial, family, and sometimes each other, in this emotionally charged and action-packed coming-of-age tale.

You are a seed planted by God, within it is a sleeping giant, your fullest in life. However, you usually do not know until you earnestly make a calling to Him and constantly send twitters to Him.

Once you succeed in breaking the shell, you grow out to a world that is full of light and darkness, good and evil, opportunity and problem. They may build you up or tear you down. You have to tackle through all the barriers before you are to bloom and bear fruits. The book shows you a roadmap to grow to your fullest and gives you both wisdom and strength to conquer the growing pains from both within and outside you.

Warriors Of The Rainbow: Strange And Prophetic Indian Dreams
Author: William Willoya
Publisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1786256622
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Strange & Prophetic Dreams of the Indian People. This is a touching story of a great grandmother instilling the Indian spirit in her great grandson. It gives guidelines for a glorious future: ‘We have had enough now of talk. Let there be deeds.’ In the words that follow we have written simply and wholly what we believe, believing that only God is the Knower. That men should love one another and understand one another is the great message of the visions of the Indian peoples told about in this book, nothing of selfishness nor vanity, nothing of narrowness nor pride. We write what we feel deep in our hearts, and the bulk of the book is the expression of this feeling. On the other hand, we wish to write about only what is reasonable and intelligent, so, in the appendix at the back of this book, we give what we consider reasonable and intelligent answers to why the study of prophetic dreams has value, how they fit patterns, and how it may be possible to understand them.
