It is time to acknowledge the inspiring Black women of the world. Sweep out the shadowed corners of history and you will find women and their unspoken accomplishments. Break down the baseboard of that dusty corner and you will find the stashed-away lives and stories of Black women who, for centuries, have been subjugated by a white, patriarchal society. But do not give up hope! The wise Ida B. Wells brought her light. In her words, "the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them," and this book is a beacon of many. Powerful women you will meet in The Book of Awesome Black Women include: Sojourner Truth Aretha Franklin Coretta Scott King Jackie Joyner-Kersee Anita Hill Nobel Peace Prize winner, Wangari Maathai And many more

"A Sky the Color of Chaos" chronicles M.J.'s perilous childhood during the turbulent rise and fall of Haiti's President-Priest - a time of nightly shootings, home invasions, robberies, and burning of former regime members in neighborhood streets. Haiti's rich culture and breathtaking beauty are contrasted not only with the terror in Port-au-Prince's streets, but also with the turmoil inside M.J.'s own home. Her father's hot-blooded nature and unpredictable moods amplify her fevered need to escape a home, and homeland, where random violence and bloodshed are commonplace.
