It is the story of a poor, black southern girl who learned to love herself as well as diverse people. She descended from African royalty, but she had to overcome illegitimacy, poverty and a poor parental relationship in order to reach her goals. All people have fairy tales, epics, legends, stories and folklore of the exploits and deeds of their ancestors. Queen Leah is such a story; it allows children of African ancestry to realize that we live in a world of possibilities, but that we have to work to prepare ourselves for success. Some of us put limitations on ourselves and others and ridicule dreamers because they are different, but we need dreamers to guide us as we look within ourselves and make our dreams become realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every athlete or sports fanatic who knows she's just as good as the guys. This is for fans of The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen, Grace, Gold, and Glory by Gabrielle Douglass and Breakaway: Beyond the Goal by Alex Morgan. The summer before Caleb and Tessa enter high school, friendship has blossomed into a relationship . . . and their playful sports days are coming to an end. Caleb is getting ready to try out for the football team, and Tessa is training for cross-country. But all their structured plans derail in the final flag game when they lose. Tessa doesn’t want to end her career as a loser. She really enjoys playing, and if she’s being honest, she likes it even more than running cross-country. So what if she decided to play football instead? What would happen between her and Caleb? Or between her two best friends, who are counting on her to try out for cross-country with them? And will her parents be upset that she’s decided to take her hobby to the next level? This summer Caleb and Tessa figure out just what it means to be a boyfriend, girlfriend, teammate, best friend, and someone worth cheering for. “A great next choice for readers who have enjoyed Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s Dairy Queen and Miranda Kenneally’s Catching Jordan.”—SLJ “Fast-paced football action, realistic family drama, and sweet romance…[will have] readers looking for girl-powered sports stories…find[ing] plenty to like.”—Booklist “Tessa's ferocious competitiveness is appealing.”—Kirkus Reviews “[The Football Girl] serve[s] to illuminate the appropriately complicated emotions both of a young romance and of pursuing a dream. Heldring writes with insight and restraint.”—The Horn Book
Download or read book Who Controls the Heart Confessions of a Love Child written by Joyce Louise Killebrew and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great diva Ms. Diana Ross sang about me and millions of others like me in her hit tune: "Love Child." Well, I am a love child. I have spent a great part of my life feeling ashamed of being born out-of-wedlock. Perhaps, I would not have felt so ashamed if I had felt like I had one loving parent, but the person whom I felt should have cared about me constantly made fun of me and belittled my very existence. I retreated into a fantasy world, and I listened to the songs of Elvis Presley like "Don't Be Cruel" and "Love Me Tender." Listening to Elvis Presley made me feel wanted, and oh sure! I heard what Elvis Presley was rumored to have said about black people. That still did not stop me from loving his image, because he sustained me when I had no one else to love me. I never saw Elvis in person, but his singing made me feel alive. I am proud that I went in search of my father and myself. The great Greek Philosopher said, "Know thyself." Well, I have learned many things about myself, and I AM LOVE.
