| oprah sweet potato pie: The Emperor of Gladness: Oprah's Book Club Ocean Vuong, 2025-05-13 The instant New York Times bestseller • Oprah’s Book Club Pick • Ocean Vuong returns with a bighearted novel about chosen family, unexpected friendship, and the stories we tell ourselves in order to survive “Stunning . . . A heartfelt and powerful examination of those living on the fringes of society, and the unique challenges they face to survive and thrive.” —Oprah Winfrey “Magnificent . . . In writing this book, Vuong may have joined the ranks of an elite few great novelists.” —Leigh Haber, Los Angeles Times The hardest thing in the world is to live only once… One late summer evening in the post-industrial town of East Gladness, Connecticut, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge in pelting rain, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow succumbing to dementia, who convinces him to take another path. Bereft and out of options, he quickly becomes her caretaker. Over the course of the year, the unlikely pair develops a life-altering bond, one built on empathy, spiritual reckoning, and heartbreak, with the power to transform Hai’s relationship to himself, his family, and a community on the brink. Following the cycles of history, memory, and time, The Emperor of Gladness shows the profound ways in which love, labor, and loneliness form the bedrock of American life. At its heart is a brave epic about what it means to exist on the fringes of society and to reckon with the wounds that haunt our collective soul. Hallmarks of Ocean Vuong’s writing—formal innovation, syntactic dexterity, and the ability to twin grit with grace through tenderness—are on full display in this story of loss, hope, and how far we would go to possess one of life’s most fleeting mercies: a second chance. |
| oprah sweet potato pie: Living Oprah Robyn Okrant, 2010-01-04 eBook Bonus:New Photos plus Video, Blog and Interview links.

| oprah sweet potato pie: Oprah Kitty Kelley, 2010-04-13 For the past twenty-five years, no one has been better at revealing secrets than Oprah Winfrey. On what is arguably the most influential show in television history, she has gotten her guests—often the biggest celebrities in the world—to bare their love lives, explore their painful pasts, admit their transgressions, reveal their pleasures, and explore their demons. In turn, Oprah has repeatedly allowed her audience to share in her own life story, opening up about the sexual abuse in her past and discussing her romantic relationships, her weight problems, her spiritual beliefs, her charitable donations, and her strongly held views on the state of the world. After a quarter of a century of the Oprah-ization of America, can there be any more secrets left to reveal? Yes. Because Oprah has met her match. Kitty Kelley has, over the same period of time, fearlessly and relentlessly investigated and written about the world’s most revered icons: Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Frank Sinatra, Nancy Reagan, England’s Royal Family, and the Bush dynasty. In her #1 bestselling biographies, she has exposed truths and exploded myths to uncover the real human beings that exist behind their manufac¬tured facades. Turning her reportorial sights on Oprah, Kelley has now given us an unvarnished look at the stories Oprah’s told and the life she’s led. Kelley has talked to Oprah’s closest family members and business associates. She has obtained court records, birth certificates, financial and tax records, and even copies of Oprah’s legendary (and punishing) confidentiality agreements. She has probed every aspect of Oprah Winfrey’s life, and it is as if she’s written the most extraordinary segment of The Oprah Winfrey Show ever filmed—one in which Oprah herself is finally and fully revealed. There is a case to be made, and it is certainly made in this book, that Oprah Winfrey is an important, and even great, figure of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. But there is also a case to be made that even greatness needs to be examined and put under a microscope. Fact must be separated from myth, truth from hype. Kitty Kelley has made that separation, showing both sides of Oprah as they have never been shown before. In doing so she has written a psychologically perceptive and meticulously researched book that will surprise and thrill everyone who reads it. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: The Twelve Tribes of Hattie (Oprah's Book Club 2.0 Digital Edition) Ayana Mathis, 2012-12-06 The newest Oprah’s Book Club 2.0 selection: this special eBook edition of The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis features exclusive content, including Oprah’s personal notes highlighted within the text, and a reading group guide. The arrival of a major new voice in contemporary fiction. A debut of extraordinary distinction: Ayana Mathis tells the story of the children of the Great Migration through the trials of one unforgettable family. In 1923, fifteen-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children whom she raises with grit and mettle and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them for the calamitous difficulty they are sure to face in their later lives, to meet a world that will not love them, a world that will not be kind. Captured here in twelve luminous narrative threads, their lives tell the story of a mother’s monumental courage and the journey of a nation. Beautiful and devastating, Ayana Mathis’s The Twelve Tribes of Hattie is wondrous from first to last—glorious, harrowing, unexpectedly uplifting, and blazing with life. An emotionally transfixing page-turner, a searing portrait of striving in the face of insurmountable adversity, an indelible encounter with the resilience of the human spirit and the driving force of the American dream. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: Ruby (Oprah's Book Club 2.0) Cynthia Bond, 2015-02-10 A New York Times bestseller and Oprah Book Club 2.0 selection, the epic, unforgettable story of a man determined to protect the woman he loves from the town desperate to destroy her. This beautiful and devastating debut heralds the arrival of a major new voice in fiction. Ephram Jennings has never forgotten the beautiful girl with the long braids running through the piney woods of Liberty, their small East Texas town. Young Ruby Bell, “the kind of pretty it hurt to look at,” has suffered beyond imagining, so as soon as she can, she flees suffocating Liberty for the bright pull of 1950s New York. Ruby quickly winds her way into the ripe center of the city—the darkened piano bars and hidden alleyways of the Village—all the while hoping for a glimpse of the red hair and green eyes of her mother. When a telegram from her cousin forces her to return home, thirty-year-old Ruby finds herself reliving the devastating violence of her girlhood. With the terrifying realization that she might not be strong enough to fight her way back out again, Ruby struggles to survive her memories of the town’s dark past. Meanwhile, Ephram must choose between loyalty to the sister who raised him and the chance for a life with the woman he has loved since he was a boy. Full of life, exquisitely written, and suffused with the pastoral beauty of the rural South, Ruby is a transcendent novel of passion and courage. This wondrous page-turner rushes through the red dust and gossip of Main Street, to the pit fire where men swill bootleg outside Bloom’s Juke, to Celia Jennings’s kitchen, where a cake is being made, yolk by yolk, that Ephram will use to try to begin again with Ruby. Utterly transfixing, with unforgettable characters, riveting suspense, and breathtaking, luminous prose, Ruby offers an unflinching portrait of man’s dark acts and the promise of the redemptive power of love. Ruby was a finalist for the PEN America Robert Bingham Debut Novel Award, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, and an Indie Next Pick. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche David A. Wright MD MM MBA MHSA, 2020-01-30 Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche --A Tribute to Oprah Winfrey & Super Soul Sundays --A Thick, Rich Slice of Wisdom & Empowerment --A Book of Inspirational Quotes & Positive Affirmations Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche is a book of wisdom, abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success. Its purpose is to help individuals move forward in life in positive ways through increased self-improvement, self-development, self-motivation, self-reflection, self-actualization, self-determination, self-transformation and self-enhancement. And, it introduces and draws upon alternative mental health and wellness techniques like Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Mind-setting, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy (R), Mental Massages, Parts Integration, Values Realignment, Regression Analysis, Defense Mechanism Analysis, All Day Breakthroughs, Freudian Psychoanalysis and Ericksonian Therapies. It illustrates the concept that pills alone will not solve most mental, emotional and/or psychological problems. The idea for this book came from watching Super Soul Sundays (R) on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) (R). Watching the show has been such an inspiration for me. It's been a teacher. Oprah's Thought for Today newsletter (R) has also been a great inspiration. As an MD with two Abundance, Empowerment, Mind-setting and Prosperity Practices, MLC Of Greater Atlanta [MLCOGA], and Atlanta Coaching and Hypnotherapy Associates [ACHA], I help my clients to realize that there are motivations, inspirations and moments of insight that are readily available to them. In practice, I found myself continually sending my clients to other sources to find concepts, affirmations, quotes and statements that would help empower them and fuel their meditations on a daily basis. So, I decided to create one for them so that I wouldn't have to necessarily send them elsewhere. At my core, I believe that we should find and share positive energy. This book represents my opportunity to share the positive energy and encouragement that I've received from my parents, Reverend Harlis R. Wright & Dr. Bettye D. Wright, my mentor, Dr. Todd M. Antin (The CEO and Chief Medical Director of PACT Atlanta, the largest psychiatric practice in Atlanta), Dr. Oprah Winfrey, my teachers & professors, my friends and strong acquaintances, life circumstances and other sources. Chapter one covers how to confront anxiety, chapter two covers the biochemistry and physiology of sleep and natural approaches to solving sleep disorders and dilemmas, chapter three covers the power of words, phrases, mantras, speech and affirmations, chapter four covers hypnosis, hypnotherapy and how they work, chapter five covers happiness, what it means, and how to create it, chapter six covers how to sow seeds of abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success in life (and it relates them to the movie The Matrix (R)) in order to create a resilient mindset and a strong degree of mindfulness, and finally, chapter number seven provides you with one third of a year of motivational quotes, inspirational phrases and positive affirmations. This book was created to help empower you, help inspire you, help fuel your meditations, to help fuel your dreams & aspirations, to help fuel your hypnosis sessions, to help energize your mind, body, spirit & soul, to help you stay mentally refreshed and renewed, to help empower your thoughts and prayers, and to nourish for your mind, body, spirit, soul & psyche. Finally, it introduces you to alternative mental health and wellness techniques like Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Mind-setting, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy (R), Mental Massages, Parts Integration, Values Realignment, Regression Analysis, Defense Mech |
| oprah sweet potato pie: The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure Jack Pendarvis, 2011-07-27 This debut collection of stories holds a fun house mirror to the everyday lives of characters as empathetic as they are absurd. You’ve met the characters in The Mysterious Secret of the Valuable Treasure. They’re the quirky visionaries and misguided dreamers we all know. . .and might even be. These characters are absurd, hilarious, and completely believable. From the self-appointed historian of the title piece to the frustrated wage slaves of Our Spring Catalog and The Pipe, these are individualists who don’t quite adhere to mainstream ideals. Pendarvis draws his humor from the world of high school ambitions and misunderstood intentions allowed to breathe and take shape. Always original but somehow familiar, these are stories plugged into the collective unconscious of our imaginary lives. Jack Pendarvis’s work is difficult to describe but a pleasure to experience, infused with humanity and laugh-out-loud funny. Comedic literary talent of this caliber is rare. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: The Underground Railroad (Pulitzer Prize Winner) (National Book Award Winner) (Oprah's Book Club) Colson Whitehead, 2016-08-02 #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • An American masterpiece (NPR) that chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. One of The New York Times’s 10 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century The basis for the acclaimed original Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Look for Colson Whitehead’s new novel, Crook Manifesto! |

| oprah sweet potato pie: Deceptively Delicious Jessica Seinfeld, 2009-10-06 It has become common knowledge that childhood obesity rates are increasing every year. But the rates continue to rise. And between busy work schedules and the inconvenient truth that kids simply refuse to eat vegetables and other healthy foods, how can average parents ensure their kids are getting the proper nutrition and avoiding bad eating habits? As a mother of three, Jessica Seinfeld can speak for all parents who struggle to feed their kids right and deal nightly with dinnertime fiascos. As she wages a personal war against sugars, packaged foods, and other nutritional saboteurs, she offers appetizing alternatives for parents who find themselves succumbing to the fastest and easiest (and least healthy) choices available to them. Her modus operandi? Her book is filled with traditional recipes that kids love, except they're stealthily packed with veggies hidden in them so kids don't even know! With the help of a nutritionist and a professional chef, Seinfeld has developed a month's worth of meals for kids of all ages that includes, for example, pureed cauliflower in mac and cheese, and kale in spaghetti and meatballs. She also provides revealing and humorous personal anecdotes, tear–out shopping guides to help parents zoom through the supermarket, and tips on how to deal with the kid that must have the latest sugar bomb cereal. But this book also contains much more than recipes and tips. By solving problems on a practical level for parents, Seinfeld addresses the big picture issues that surround childhood obesity and its long–term (and ruinous) effects on the body. With the help of a prominent nutritionist, her book provides parents with an arsenal of information related to kids' nutrition so parents understand why it's important to throw in a little avocado puree into their quesadillas. She discusses the critical importance of portion size, and the specific elements kids simply must have (as opposed to adults) in order to flourish now and in the future: protein, calcium, vitamins, and Omega 3 and 6 fats. Jessica Seinfeld's book is practical, easy–to–read, and a godsend for any parent that wants their kids to be healthy for a long time to come. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: Sweet Potato Pie Underneath The Sun's Broiler James Golden, 2008-03 Sweet Potato Pie gives voice to one of the new generation's poets and writers. Written with clarity and artistic vision, James Golden's first book, challenges us to explore race and gender with passion and truthfulness. -Karin Stanford, Ph.D. Sweet Potato Pie Underneath The Sun's Broiler is the first volume of poetry from prize-winning poet James B. Golden. The book features an introduction by renowned scholar and Emmy Award-Winner, Johnie Scott, who co-founded the Watts Writers Workshop in Southern California. He begins the work with a reflection on the state of contemporary poetry and a dedication to the personified death of classic word patterns. Hip Hop, Masculinity, Ecology, Death, Rape, Misogyny, Growing Up and Blackness are revisited and intertwined themes within the book. Be that as it may, there is room for social and political satire (On the Occasion of Paris Hilton's Prison Sentence, George, Love Letters To Angela Davis). Perhaps, the most riveting poems within the set lie in the second section, Blackness and Maleness, where a battle begins with the state of Black men (Notes From A Worried Black Man, I Think I Killed Hip Hop, Bleach On My Skin). Unjustified Crucifixion, the poem from which the title receives its thunder, is the stand-out poem of the book where Golden offers the troublesome stories of celebrated Black men. Pulling on every heart-string possible, the world is finally ready for a new era of Black Artistic Creation which celebrates the past while leaping into the future realm of writing. |

From Hot Buttermilk Biscuits and Sweet Potato Pie to Salmon Cakes on Pepper Rice and Gullah Fish Stew, Gullah Geechee food is an essential cuisine of American history. It is the culinary representation of the ocean, rivers, and rich fertile loam in and around the coastal South.

In this groundbreaking and beautiful cookbook, Matthew Raiford pays homage to this cuisine that nurtured his family for seven generations.

In this collection of heritage and updated recipes, he traces a history of community and family brought together by food. |
| oprah sweet potato pie: Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche David A. Wright MD MM MBA MHSA, 2019-12-03 Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche --A Tribute to Oprah Winfrey & Super Soul Sundays --A Thick, Rich Slice of Wisdom & Empowerment --A Book of Inspirational Quotes & Positive Affirmations Sweet Potato Pie for the Spirit, Soul & Psyche is a book of wisdom, abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success. Its purpose is to help individuals move forward in life in positive ways through increased self-improvement, self-development, self-motivation, self-reflection, self-actualization, self-determination, self-transformation and self-enhancement. And, it introduces and draws upon alternative mental health and wellness techniques like Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness, Mind-setting, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Time Line Therapy (R), Mental Massages, Parts Integration, Values Realignment, Regression Analysis, Defense Mechanism Analysis, All Day Breakthroughs, Freudian Psychoanalysis and Ericksonian Therapies. It illustrates the concept that pills alone will not solve most mental, emotional and/or psychological problems. The idea for this book came from watching Super Soul Sundays (R) on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) (R). Watching the show has been such an inspiration for me. It's been a teacher. Oprah's Thought for Today newsletter (R) has also been a great inspiration. As an MD with two Abundance, Empowerment, Mind-setting and Prosperity Practices, MLC Of Greater Atlanta [MLCOGA], and Atlanta Coaching and Hypnotherapy Associates [ACHA], I help my clients to realize that there are motivations, inspirations and moments of insight that are readily available to them. In practice, I found myself continually sending my clients to other sources to find concepts, affirmations, quotes and statements that would help empower them and fuel their meditations on a daily basis. So, I decided to create one for them so that I wouldn't have to necessarily send them elsewhere. At my core, I believe that we should find and share positive energy. This book represents my opportunity to share the positive energy and encouragement that I've received from my parents, Reverend Harlis R. Wright & Dr. Bettye D. Wright, my mentor, Dr. Todd M. Antin (The CEO and Chief Medical Director of PACT Atlanta, the largest psychiatric practice in Atlanta), Dr. Oprah Winfrey, my teachers & professors, my friends and strong acquaintances, life circumstances and other sources. Chapter one covers how to confront anxiety, chapter two covers the biochemistry and physiology of sleep and natural approaches to solving sleep disorders and dilemmas, chapter three covers the power of words, phrases, mantras, speech and affirmations, chapter four covers hypnosis, hypnotherapy and how they work, chapter five covers happiness, what it means, and how to create it, chapter six covers how to sow seeds of abundance, empowerment, prosperity and success in life (and it relates them to the movie The Matrix (R)) in order to create a resilient mindset and a strong degree of mindfulness, and finally, chapter number seven provides you with one third of a year of motivational quotes, inspirational phrases and positive affirmations. |

| oprah sweet potato pie: Just Enough Gesshin Claire Greenwood, 2019 Fresh out of college, Gesshin Claire Greenwood found her way to a Buddhist monastery in Japan and was ordained as a Buddhist nun. Zen appealed to Greenwood because of its all-encompassing approach to life and how to live it, its willingness to face life's big questions, and its radically simple yet profound emphasis on presence, reality, the now. At the monastery, she also discovered an affinity for working in the kitchen, especially the practice of creating delicious, satisfying meals using whatever was at hand — even when what was at hand was bamboo. Based on the philosophy of oryoki, or just enough, this book combines stories with recipes. From perfect rice, potatoes, and broths to hearty stews, colorful stir-fries, hot and cold noodles, and delicate sorbet, Greenwood shows food to be a direct, daily way to understand Zen practice. With eloquent prose, she takes readers into monasteries and markets, messy kitchens and predawn meditation rooms, and offers food for thought that nourishes and delights body, mind, and spirit. |
| oprah sweet potato pie: The Lost Kitchen Erin French, 2017-05-09 From the New York Times bestselling author and founder of the beloved restaurant The Lost Kitchen comes a stunning collection of 100 Maine recipes for every season. “A sensory joy . . . simple seasonal fare, creatively elevated and beautifully photographed . . . The recipes in The Lost Kitchen beckon you to keep returning for more.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer Erin French grew up in Freedom, Maine (population 719), helping her father at the griddle in his diner. An entirely self-taught cook who used cookbooks to form her culinary education, she founded her acclaimed restaurant, the Lost Kitchen, in the same town, creating meals that draws locals and visitors from around the world to a dining room that feels like an extension of her home. No one can bring small-town America to life better than a native, especially when it comes to Maine, one of the country’s most off-the-beaten-path states, with an abundant natural bounty that comes from its coastline, rivers, farms, fields, and woods—a cook’s dream. Inspired by her lush locale and classic American cooking, Erin crafts deliciously satisfying and easy-to-make recipes such as Whole-Roasted Trout with Parsnip and Herb Hash, Maine Shrimp Rolls, Ramp and Fiddlehead Fried Rice, and Rhubarb Spoon Cake. Erin’s food has been called “brilliant in its simplicity and honesty” by Food & Wine, and it is exactly this pure approach that makes her style of cooking so appealing—and so easy to embrace at home, wherever you live. |
