Book Description
One Sunday morning we were having brunch with some friends at a restaurant overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The discussion of favorite foods came up and someone asked our three-year old daughter, Shavonne, what were her favorite foods. Without hesitation she looked up, smiled and said, "Matzo balls and cornbread." -TYREE (CORNBREAD) When Shavonne said her favorite foods were matzo balls and cornbread, I immediately knew it would make a great title for a book or play. Later, when we decided to write this book, we both agreed it would be the perfect title. If you think about it, it says everything about us. -LES (MATZO BALLS) * * * Matzo Balls and Cornbread is the recipe for a love story between two people from different backgrounds who made a life together: Les, a white Jewish man, and Tyree, an African-American woman. The story focuses on their family histories, experiences growing up, careers, meeting, married life, and the wonders of parenthood. It is a story of adventure that takes them to Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, Cape Town, Jerusalem, Budapest, and Dublin. It is a story of their professional success, as they rise to levels they hadn't thought possible, including their experiences with historical events that occurred in Los Angeles and the nation. And it is a story told with humor that expresses the joy they had while learning about and embracing each other's history and cultures, while merging those differences into a life that celebrates both. But mostly, it is a love story.

Larissa's Breadbook

ISBN: 1418530492
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Do you ever wonder what makes the South one of the most incredible places on Earth? As Larissa discovers, it's the awe-inspiring women. In this engaging story, ten remarkable women from rich and varied cultures share their words, their wit, their wisdom, and their lives. The language of these women "is colorful and nuanced and often poetic, and the folks whose lives the storyteller enters and exits are complicated and comic, and at the same time often tragic. This community, woven together by the storyteller's enchantments...is moving and memorable." Lois Parkinson Zamora, professor at University of Houston, made those comments about the stories in Just Plain Folks, Lorraine Johnson-Coleman's earlier work. But they could just as easily have been written about the characters in Larissa's BreadBook.
