Book excerpt: 1 June - 7 July 1980 Paris, France St. Augustine, Florida Juliette Reiss-Marston's life seems like a fairytale come true. Her college sweetheart, William Fourier, just announced their engagement to marry. Even with the good news, Juliette's suspicions mount about their future together when an overseas letter arrives from a mysterious cousin she hadn't met. In his letter, Claude Freedman Esq. confides that Juliette's recent gift of a dowry is from her 4th great-grandfather and nobleman, Capt. Françoise J. Reiss III: A man with a nefarious past and a memoir, Children of the Alliance. Confused, Juliette confronts her mother, Adrian Reiss-Marston, who insists the Freedman's are 'impostors' and the memoir is a ‘literary forgery.’ Defying her mother's wish to forget about their family's notorious past, Juliette sojourns to St. Augustine, Florida, to meet Mr. Freedman, and to pick up her ancestor's memoir. However, while visiting the “Land of Flowers,” Juliette discovers the truth about her ancestors and fears she opened Pandora's Box, surmising the descendants of the captain and his second wife, Selina Freedman, the heir of a freed Senegalese slave, may be the rightful owners of her dowry. Realizing that knowing the truth may not always mend broken hearts, but can turn heads, Juliette, returns to Paris, France, and hires a team of forensic scientists to investigate her heirloom dowry: The decoratively carved ebony chest of rare gemstones. Shocked by the team's discovery and with INTERPOL on her tail, Juliette calls upon her trusted friends to help her hide the rare gemstones until she can clear her family name...

Download or read book How the Word Is Passed written by Clint Smith and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “important and timely” (Drew Faust, Harvard Magazine) #1 New York Times bestseller examines the legacy of slavery in America—and how both history and memory continue to shape our everyday lives. Beginning in his hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. It is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. A deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men, women, and children has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today, Smith's debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

Download or read book word on the street eBook written by Rob Lacey and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-18 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those who’ve never read the Bible and for those who’ve read it too much. Lacey’s “dangerously real” retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories, poems, and images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase-come-running-commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as seen through a virtual reality headset. Out with stale religious terms, here’s a “Bible” which talks today’s language—gritty, earthy, and witty. Enough starting at Genesis with good intentions and getting lost in Leviticus-Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwarding through the “slow-moving” bits with pace, passion, and energy to make the Bible a page turner. Lacey’s tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey’s take on Scripture with authenticity and authority—resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert: This is not THE Bible (capital B)… but it might just get you reaching for one.
