Download or read book Delta Jewels written by Alysia Burton Steele and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.

Book excerpt: “Jewelry isn’t ordinarily a tool of political persuasion, but in this beautiful book, Madeleine Albright, American ambassador to the United Nations and then the nation’s first female secretary of state, tells the compelling story of how these small objects became part of her ‘personal diplomatic arsenal.’” — The Chicago Tribune From New York Times bestselling author and former secretary of state Madeleine Albright, Read My Pins is a story and celebration of how one woman’s jewelry collection was used to make diplomatic history. Part illustrated memoir, part social history, Read My Pins provides an intimate look at Albright's life through the brooches she wore. Her collection is both international and democratic—dime-store pins share pride of place with designer creations and family heirlooms. Included are the antique eagle purchased to celebrate Albright's appointment as secretary of state, the zebra pin she wore when meeting Nelson Mandela, and the Valentine's Day heart forged by Albright's five-year-old daughter. Read My Pins features more than 200 photographs, along with compelling and often humorous stories about jewelry, global politics, and the life of one of America's most accomplished and fascinating diplomats.

Jewels Are Her Vengeance is about a rich, married man having an affair with a young, beautiful and brilliant architect who works for him. Once she discovers he will not leave his family and marry her, she plots to achieve her goals. Mystery. Intrigue. Romance. Diane Taylor was hoping to get married to her boss, developer Paul Rittman, before her 30th birthday. After a six-year love affair, Paul is backing out of their relationship for the sake of his children. Diane is upset that her lifetime goal of getting married before her 30th birthday is falling apart. One fateful night, in what seems to be a copycat crime, priceless jewels given to Diane, as well as a few million dollars belonging to Paul, are stolen from a safe in Diane's apartment which is owned by Paul. Only Paul had access to the safe. Detective Dave Marko shows up and Paul and Diane's strained relationship snaps as sparks begin to fly. Detective Marko is convinced that Diane set the whole thing up and took the jewels and money, but Diane isn't talking. What is Diane up to? What is her plan? Does Diane know what happened? Did she do it? If so, how? A remarkably revealing trip to Hawaii is just one step in Dave's unrelenting desire to get to the bottom of the robbery as the case-and story-unfold. The surprise at the end and Diane's intelligence and determination amaze Detective Marko. About the Author: Terry Rajan's books are unique in style.
