Book Description
I wasn’t supposed to be possible. Dead means dead, and the dead don’t reproduce. But when Lucifer ceased to exist, things went a little haywire for a while, opening a strange supernatural phenomena that made a lot of things possible, including me. Not that I’m complaining, but being the living, breathing daughter of Death and Fate has its own set of challenges. Like career day at school. Every year it was the same thing. And every year I was sent to the principal’s office and scolded for terrifying the other kids when I told the truth about my parents. So much for being honest. Which brings me to my current predicament. No one knows what my destiny is supposed to be. It’s not written in any of my mother’s books, and although the reapers think I’m destined to take over as the Grim Reaper, my father does not want me to go into the family business. But I’m not sure I have a choice.

From Slave Ship to Harvard
Author: James H. Johnston
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823239527
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
“Part historical narrative, part genealogical detective work,” this is the true story of an African American family in Maryland over six generations (Library Journal). Using diaries, court records, legal documents, books, paintings, photographs, and oral histories, From Slave Ship to Harvard traces a family—from the colonial period and the American Revolution through the Civil War to Harvard and finally today—forming a unique narrative of black struggle and achievement. Yarrow Mamout was an educated Muslim from Guinea, brought to Maryland on the slave ship Elijah. When he gained his freedom forty-four years later, he’d become so well known in the Georgetown section of Washington, DC, that he attracted the attention of the eminent portrait painter Charles Willson Peale, who captured Yarrow’s visage in the painting on the cover of this book. Yarrow’s immediate relatives—his sister, niece, wife, and son—were notable in their own right. His son married into the neighboring Turner family, and the farm community in western Maryland called Yarrowsburg was named for Yarrow Mamout’s daughter-in-law, Mary “Polly” Turner Yarrow. The Turner line ultimately produced Robert Turner Ford, who graduated from Harvard University in 1927. Just as Peale painted the portrait of Yarrow, James H. Johnston’s new book puts a face on slavery and paints the history of race in Maryland, where relationships between blacks and whites were far more complex than many realize. As this one family’s experience shows, individuals of both races repeatedly stepped forward to lessen divisions, and to move America toward the diverse society of today.
