Chicken Soup for the African American Soul

This book captures the spirit of the community through inspiring storytelling that understands both the struggles and joys of being African American. From Jim Crow to the Civil Rights movement to today’s business leaders and gangsta culture, this book is a primer on black history. And like all Chicken Soup books, it’s a moving tribute to the small things—a moment of insight, a mentor, a lover, the loss of innocence—that make life worth living.

This great volume is focused on representing all facets of African American life—man and woman; young and old; rural, suburban, and urban; rich and poor; race conscious and mostly color-blind.

Chapters Include: Celebrating Our Strength, Strong Roots, The African American Family, Love and Relationships, The Power of Community, Praise, Worship and Prayer

The Baby Boomer's Handbook for Women – Saying good-bye to Death, Grief and Loss

Life is like a beautifully written book containing thousands of wonderful stories. Imagine that every person you love has a chapter in your book of life. There’s a beginning story, which represents the first time you met. A middle story that portrays all the experiences you’ve shared. And there is an ending story, called death, where they leave and you say good-bye.
Although no two chapters read the same, they all have one thing in common — the ending. It doesn’t matter how old you are, where you live, or how much money you have, ending that chapter can be painful. It is painful because that last good-bye is final. There will be no more laughs, or hugs. No more long walks or talks. Everything you once experienced with that person stops.
