Book excerpt: Named one of the best books of 2017 by NPR, the Huffington Post, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, the Horn Book Magazine, the News & Observer, BookPage, Chicago Public Library, and more The barbershop is where the magic happens. Boys go in as lumps of clay and, with princely robes draped around their shoulders, a dab of cool shaving cream on their foreheads, and a slow, steady cut, they become royalty. That crisp yet subtle line makes boys sharper, more visible, more aware of every great thing that could happen to them when they look good: lesser grades turn into As; girls take notice; even a mother’s hug gets a little tighter. Everyone notices. A fresh cut makes boys fly. This rhythmic, read-aloud title is an unbridled celebration of the self-esteem, confidence, and swagger boys feel when they leave the barber’s chair—a tradition that places on their heads a figurative crown, beaming with jewels, that confirms their brilliance and worth and helps them not only love and accept themselves but also take a giant step toward caring how they present themselves to the world. The fresh cuts. That’s where it all begins. Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut is a high-spirited, engaging salute to the beautiful, raw, assured humanity of black boys and how they see themselves when they approve of their reflections in the mirror.

Book excerpt: Welcome to the highly anticipated second season of The Crown Chronicles. Once again, we are transported into the captivating world of the Royal Family of Willow Creek, delving into the intricate details of their lives. Originally known as 'The Sims' Journals', this unique story immerses us in the lives of characters brought to life within the virtual realm of the immensely popular video game, 'The Sims 4'. Focusing on the esteemed 'House of Keyes', the narrative revolves around the lives of Noni, the queen, her younger brother Zander, her older brother Trevion, her new husband Nadiv, her son Maquel, and her husband's nephew Charles. Through the personal and intimate accounts shared in their journals, readers are treated to a captivating tale filled with moments of both amusement and heartfelt emotion. In the first season, we witnessed the family's rise to power, their influence, and the establishment of their prestigious status, setting them apart from the common townsfolk. However, this newfound position comes with its own set of challenges. The Keyes family constantly grapples with the delicate balance between maintaining their aristocratic air and preserving the close-knit dynamics within their circle. As season 1 concludes, we are left with the shocking revelation of the queen's husband's betrayal, which not only shakes the foundation of their marriage but also exposes the infidelity and scandals that plague other members of the family. Furthermore, the commonfolk, who were once considered insignificant, now pose a threat to the family's unity. Cheating, betrayal, neglect, and scandal infiltrate their lives, forcing them to take drastic measures to protect their high-reaching status. However, the consequences of their actions come back to haunt them, as karma takes its toll. As we embark on this new season, we are introduced to more characters, each with their own unique quirks that add depth and complexity to the story. The narrative continues to explore themes of entitlement, wealth, and the relentless pursuit of an iconic family status, all while desperately trying to maintain a sense of familial connection. The author's personal and candid perspective infuses with the story, witnessing the prospering family first hand with new visuals, description, and entertaining commentary, leaving readers eagerly flipping through the pages in anticipation of the next twist. (It is important to note that while this story draws inspiration from The Sims 4, it is an independent creation and not affiliated with EA or any related entities.)

Download or read book The Crown of Life Society written by William R. Henry, Jr. and published by William R. Henry, Jr. and A. Frank Johns, Jr.. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golden years? Career criminals and one-time opportunists are scheming to strip that gold from elderly people…Darryl, the greaser who worms his way into the heart and home of the frail Esther, hell-bent to drain her bank account…Harry, the charmer who checks the obituaries and puts widows like Estelle on a schedule for exploitation that includes seizing their homes…Rusinski and Rugerio, criminal doctors who use elders – and routinely put lives at risk – to manipulate a hopelessly inept Medicare and Medicaid bureaucracy, and rake in the cash…Imelda, the “capper” who brings the crooked docs a vanload of elders every Friday, for bogus “sleep studies”…Rose, who can ruin a lonely retiree’s credit rating with a few outings to department stores…Denise, who gets to the much-older Charlie’s wallet through his zipper…to name just a few. And at the top of this criminal world is the brilliant and ruthless Sherrelle. She emerged from prison to build the Crown of Life Society, in which she trains women – all using stolen identities — to exploit elders and avoid detection. She will do anything (murder is an easy call), and use her sharp survival instincts, to make sure the enterprise that nets her over $200,000 a year continues to thrive. Meanwhile, these elders’ adult children feel the stress every day, of trying to balance caregiving with their other responsibilities. Sibling differences, and the tension between too-busy lives and the “We really have to do something about Mom” imperative quickly blaze up. The “Caregiver Coping” chatroom provides some release for Boomers; they post about the problems they are struggling to handle – including some really nutty ones. You can laugh, because these things aren’t happening to you. Or maybe you will laugh because they are happening in your family, and you need your own release. You might shed a tear, too, when some of the elders in this book finally reach the end of their noble, exemplary lives. In The Crown of Life Society, William R. Henry, Jr. and noted elder law attorney A. Frank Johns, Jr. turn fact into fiction for an appalling — but hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking — narrative that is as entertaining as it is informative and timely. It’s a loud alarm for anyone who is an elder, hopes to be one, or has elderly loved ones.
