Book excerpt: The Teenage Mafia Book 2 is another jewel on the book industry. Book 2 is an action packed thriller. It has a lot more venom than Book 1. After Lewis survived three shots from Redd, he wanted to make Redd along with his gang vanish. Lewis persuaded Steven to allow their crew (The Teenage Mafia) to join forces with C-Loc and his 6 St. gang. DL and Redd were already at war with C-Loc; then Steven and Lewis came along and added more destruction to a brutal battle. Lewis thought collaborating with The 6 St. gang was the perfect move because C-Loc had a small army and he hated Redd too. The envy these guys had for each other led to a school shooting, a brawl that took place at a mall, and more senseless killings. Their war became a chess game with real pieces. Read and find out which crew will capture their opponent's king and say the most honorable thing, CHECKMATE. Eric found himself in another love triangle and this time he fought his best friend Steven over his girl friend Honey. After Honey seduced Steven, he winded up sleeping with her. She recorded the sex and sent Eric some footage on his cell phone. Honey wanted sweet revenge because she discovered his sex tape made behind her back. Immediately, Eric wanted Steven dead. He decided to get some help from his untrustworthy cousin Redd. Redd had more beef than a bowl of soup. Redd and Lewis competed some more over Tammy. Tammy was confused about which guy she really wanted. Her feelings for Redd were stronger than what she would admit. Redd went all out trying to erase Lewis. While Steven was not fooling around with Honey, James's mother Zenobia caught his eyes. She found out about her son's involvement in The Teenage Mafia. Zenobia forced Steven to pull off a few robberies and bring her the prizes. Zenobia threaten to call the Police if he didn't do what she said. Steven fell in love with Zenobia; he was fascinated with her looks and sophistication. The 35 years old Zenobia was also falling in love with him-but she was unsure about going out with an 18 years old man.

Book excerpt: An important new voice for African-American theatre, Katori Hall explores the lives of black and often invisible Americans with vivid language, dynamic narratives and richly textured characterisation. Hoodoo Love is Hall's debut play, a tale of love, magic, jealousy and secrets in 1930s Memphis, written in vivid language which captures the spirit of the Blues. Saturday Night/Sunday Morning is set in a Memphis beauty shop/boarding house during the final days of WWII. Rich with humor and history, it is a story about friendship and finding love in unexpected places. Winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play 2009, The Mountaintop is a historical-fantastical two hander, portraying the penultimate day in the life of Martin Luther King. Hurt Village won the 2011 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Set in a real-life Memphis housing project, it explores in vivid and at times brutal detail a long-lasting legacy of drug abuse, child abuse, crime, and self-hatred within a poor, working-class, multi-generational Black family. This first collection of Katori Hall's dramatic works demonstrate her unique voice for the theatre, which is visceral, passionate and energetic. Hall portrays disenfranchised portions of society with fearless humanity and startling accomplishment.

The featured plays range from the intimate to the epic, the personal to the national and taken together explore a variety of cultural perspectives on life in America.

From her $1200 weave to her closet full of Gucci, Prada, and Chanel, Brianna believes that men were born to bankroll her lifestyle. Meanwhile, Shan likes to make her own money by working for a living at a men’s prison—and prefers Sean John, Baby Phat, and Fubu to Jimmy Choo. Still, despite appearances, Shan and B are sisters where it counts—or so they think… For B, lying is part of the hustle, and the hustle is what gets her sex, clothes, cars—pretty much whatever she wants. She couldn’t care less who gets hurt along the way, as long as it isn’t her. But it’s one thing to hustle tricks, and quite another to betray the one person who really cares. When one of B’s schemes goes too far, blood is spilled—and Shan is caught in the crossfire. Now, with friendship and lives on the line, Brianna’s got one last chance to change her ways—or suffer the consequences…

Download or read book In the Arms of Baby Hop written by Kenneth Attaway and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many times in my adult life, I have had what I would call an "awake out-of-body experience." During these times, I was peeking in at my life in a dream state; thinking this cannot be my life. I found myself asking the questions of what happened to the child who outsmarted the world and what happened to the teen who had all the answers and confidence to boot, and the young adult who never settled for can't. Well, somewhere along the way, the only thing left of who I was once was, were just shreds of an almost non-existent life. Now, don't get me wrong, there were some good times along the way, but it certainly was not always smooth sailing. But what came later in life was no comparison to the early years. Not that long ago, my life was filled with disappointment, brokenness, worry, anxiety, and fear. I survived breakups and breakdowns, sadness and pain, grief and loss beyond description, all of which led to a one-way ticket to Depression Central. Getting off the road to depression was very difficult for me, but there is no job too hard for God. If you can relate to the paralyzing despair that I went through, then please know that I fellowship with you and understand the grip depression and anxiety can have on your life. However, I want you to know that your destination does not have to be a one-way ticket to the land of despair, instead, your journey can bring you to a place of joy and peace if you simply trust and believe in God.
