| jezebel k larsen: Summer for the Gods Edward J Larson, 2020-06-16 The Pulitzer Prize-winning history of the Scopes Trial and the battle over evolution and creation in America's schools In the summer of 1925, the sleepy hamlet of Dayton, Tennessee, became the setting for one of the twentieth century's most contentious courtroom dramas, pitting William Jennings Bryan and the anti-Darwinists against a teacher named John Scopes, represented by Clarence Darrow and the ACLU, in a famous debate over science, religion, and their place in public education. That trial marked the start of a battle that continues to this day-in cities and states throughout the country. Edward Larson's classic Summer for the Gods -- winner of the Pulitzer Prize in History -- is the single most authoritative account of this pivotal event. An afterword assesses the state of the battle between creationism and evolution, and points the way to how it might potentially be resolved. |

Lewis, Takiyah Nur Amin, Velva Boles, Jean Gumpper, Kate Leonard, Sha'Condria Sibley, Karen Riley Simmons, Claudine Taaffe, 2016 Engaging a wide range of experiences and artistic practices, the nine artists featured in this exhibition challenge the controlling images of Black women that continue to pervade our culture and influence perceptions.

Contributions from a diverse group of accomplished scholars, activists, artists, and writers provide multiple viewpoints from which to consider the exhibition and the questions it presents. Together, the artists' works and the author's voices reveal the complexity of identity, the necessity for self-determination, and the power of art to stimulate dialogue. -- Publisher's description |

A powerful debut that proves the threads that interweave our lives can withstand time and any tide, and bind our hearts forever.—Susanna Kearsley, New York Times bestselling author of Belleweather and The Vanished Days A historical novel inspired by true events, Kelli Estes's brilliant and atmospheric debut is a poignant tale of two women determined to do the right thing, highlighting the power of our own stories. The smallest items can hold centuries of secrets... While exploring her aunt's island estate, Inara Erickson is captivated by an elaborately stitched piece of fabric hidden in the house. The truth behind the silk sleeve dated back to 1886, when Mei Lien, the lone survivor of a cruel purge of the Chinese in Seattle found refuge on Orcas Island and shared her tragic experience by embroidering it. As Inara peels back layer upon layer of the centuries of secrets the sleeve holds, her life becomes interwoven with that of Mei Lein. Through the stories Mei Lein tells in silk, Inara uncovers a tragic truth that will shake her family to its core—and force her to make an impossible choice. Should she bring shame to her family and risk everything by telling the truth, or tell no one and dishonor Mei Lien's memory? A touching and tender book for fans of Marie Benedict, Susanna Kearsley, and Duncan Jepson, The Girl Who Wrote in Silk is a dual-time period novel that explores how a delicate piece of silk interweaves the past and the present, reminding us that today's actions have far reaching implications.

For any era, it's an accomplished, affecting novel. For this moment, it’s piercing, subtly wending its way toward questions about who we are and who we want to be….” – Entertainment Weekly From The New York Times-bestselling author of The Mothers, a stunning new novel about twin sisters, inseparable as children, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds, one black and one white. The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect? Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins. As with her New York Times-bestselling debut The Mothers, Brit Bennett offers an engrossing page-turner about family and relationships that is immersive and provocative, compassionate and wise. |

I own Bloodline's Tattoo Parlor, have a filthy mouth, no filter and a really strong objection to bossy idiots, pet names and wealthy men.

Amazon Reviewer, Laura Lee - See full review below.The Never Hero is a book I wish I hadn't read -- so I could read it for the first time. Hodges has crafted a superb story about a hero who isn't. But he is. Even though he isn't. He has created a literary landscape equal to the task; a story that comes upon you slowly, then grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go. I can highly recommend both this title and author. If you enjoy scifi, this will thrill you. If you enjoy being surprised, this will catch you completely off guard. I was upset it was over.

Then those two babies grew up, eloped and had a love child, who they put up for adoption, and was raised by the surrogate parent's of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky and the Wachowski Brother's Matrix, but had a crazy Uncle they all called The Karate Kid... Then you might get something as awesome as The Never Hero.

| jezebel k larsen: Quicksand Nella Larsen, 2025-02-28 Quicksand by Nella Larsen is a profound novel that delves into the complexities of race and identity in the 1920s. The story revolves around Helga Crane, a mixed-race woman who is searching for a sense of belonging and fulfillment amidst the restrictive social constructs of her time. Helga's journey takes her from her upbringing in the black middle class in the North, to the vibrant artistic community of Harlem, to the rural Southern town of her ancestry, and finally to the exotic land of Denmark. Throughout her travels, she grapples with the dichotomy of her racial identity and the expectations placed upon her by the people around her, leading to a tumultuous journey of self-discovery. The novel opens with Helga Crane, an educator at a Southern school for black children, feeling stifled by the constraints of her job and the societal norms of the black community. Driven by a desire to find her true place in the world, she moves to Harlem, seeking the cultural richness of the Harlem Renaissance. However, she quickly becomes disillusioned with the materialism and shallow relationships she encounters there. Her search for authenticity leads her to Copenhagen, where she hopes to find a connection with her white Danish heritage. Initially, she is embraced by the avant-garde artistic community, but she soon realizes that her racial identity is as much of an issue in Europe as it is in America. Despite her attempts to assimilate, she remains an outsider, and her romantic involvement with a married artist further complicates her search for belonging. Returning to the Southern town where her mother was born, Helga experiences a sense of kinship with the black community but is also faced with the stark realities of Jim Crow laws and the deep-seated racism that pervades American society. Her time in the South is marked by a passionate love affair with a minister named Dr. Anderson, who represents a potential escape from her past. However, their relationship is fraught with the same issues of identity and conformity that she has been wrestling with throughout her life. Feeling trapped by her choices and her identity, Helga ultimately marries a man named James Vayle, a fellow teacher from the North who offers her stability and a respite from her tumultuous past. Yet, their marriage is plagued by her inability to fully embrace the domestic role expected of her, as well as James's infidelity and his inability to understand her inner turmoil. As the story unfolds, Helga's journey becomes a metaphor for the struggles of individuals caught between two worlds, unable to find a stable footing in either. The novel delivers a poignant commentary on the fluidity of identity and the quest for authenticity in a society that seeks to categorize and contain. Larsen's vivid portrayal of Helga's internal conflict is mirrored in the external landscapes she traverses, each offering a unique perspective on race and identity. Quicksand is a powerful exploration of the intersections of race, class, and gender during the era of the New Negro. The characters are complex and multifaceted, reflecting the multitude of experiences faced by those navigating the complexities of the time. The prose is rich and evocative, painting a vivid picture of the various settings and the tumultuous emotions of the protagonist. The novel is significant for its nuanced treatment of racial passing and the psychological toll it takes on individuals who are forced to navigate the boundaries of identity. Helga's experiences highlight the pain and isolation that result from a lifelong quest to find a place where she truly fits in. Through her story, Larsen critiques the limitations imposed by a society that refuses to acknowledge the fluidity of identity and the human need for acceptance. Quicksand is a timeless piece of literature that resonates with readers who grapple with the complexities of their own identity. It is a compelling narrative that challenges readers to consider the societal pressures that shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. The book's themes remain relevant today, as discussions of race, belonging, and the search for identity continue to evolve. Larsen's work is a poignant reminder of the enduring human desire for connection and authenticity amidst the ever-shifting sands of social constructs. |

| jezebel k larsen: The Hormone Myth Robyn Stein DeLuca, 2017-08 “The Hormone Myth is a bracing, accurate breath of fresh air. It turns conventional wisdom about hormones on its head, and provides a far more liberating view of women’s health than what we’ve all been taught.” —Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom “Is it that time of month?” “Is your biological clock ticking?” You're so emotional lately—are you going through menopause? We’ve all heard it before. From the moody menstrual monster to the menopausal maniac, the idea that women become raving lunatics when their hormones fluctuate is firmly entrenched in American culture—anddeeply fueled by the media. But where exactly did this stereotype come from? How has it hurt women? And how can we move past it once and for all? In this breakthrough book, Robyn Stein DeLuca fearlessly exposes and debunks pervasive myths about women’s hormones, and reveals how flawed, outdated research and sexism have joined forces throughout history to keep women “in their place.” With a revolutionary exploration of women’s hormonal lives—from menstruation to childbirth to menopause—DeLuca shines a much-needed light on the lies that have impacted women. Now more than ever, it’s time to resist the myth that women are ruled by their hormones. It’s time for women to take charge of their lives. And it’s time for women to own their emotions in a healthy and realistic way. |
| jezebel k larsen: The Unrequited Saffron A. Kent, 2021-08-05 Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from unrequited love. But it's time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive calling. What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps seeing around campus could be a great one--only he is the new poetry professor--the married poetry professor. Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist--rude, arrogant, and broody--but his glares and taunts don't scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry, but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade, Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively. Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours. |

| jezebel k larsen: Hemy (Walk of Shame #2) Ashley, 2014-09-22 My name is Hemy Knox and I'm a heartbreaker . . . I've hurt the one person that means the most to me in life; the only woman I have ever loved. I let the drugs, alcohol and wild lifestyle take over and consume me. I got her where I wanted her and ripped her heart out. Since then, I've spent countless nights having dirty, meaningless sex with a multitude of people; only leaving them wanting and begging for more with no regrets. Some may even call me the devil; soulless. They look and judge, but there is one thing they don't know; no one does. I want more than this life of stripping and sleeping around, the never-ending party. I want love and everything that comes with it; that high that never ends. The problem is . . . I only want it with her. Onyx. She refuses to be mine . . . again. She's smart, guarding her heart while ripping mine right out of my chest. I can't say that I blame her. I always was a dumb ass when it came to the emotions of a woman, especially her. She wants to see me suffer as much as I made her; watch me wither and die at her feet. She wants to crush me until I'm no longer breathing, and I will let her, because it hurts far less than not having her as mine. I will stop at nothing to make her mine again. The pain only drives me harder, feeding my fury and giving me a reason to live . . . her. |

| jezebel k larsen: Abattoir Yolanda Olson, K. Larsen, 2019-01-22 JosiI was so lost when he found me.A young man of no experience, not knowing what love was, but he showed me. He made me feel what it's like to be alive and opened my eyes to what the world truly is. I'm nothing without him and he knows it because he's nothing without me. His words are often full of praise, of need, yet I know he deserves better. I need him. I can't live without him. I'll adjust to what he wants. And maybe, when he's ready, he'll show me just how much he needs me too. BishopBefore him, I lived my life with such rigidity that my shoulders were perpetually riddled with knots. I followed a strict code. He's sweet and young and sees the world through a different lens which helps me relax. The rules I abide by are important for many reasons, but he makes me do things I normally wouldn't. Things I shouldn't, but saying no to him is not something I seem to be capable of. To help him learn, I teach him the rules and punish him as needed. They say love knows no bounds. That it doesn't judge and it isn't biased, but can it survive his recklessness and my proclivities? |
