The tide of that event carries Little Bee back to their world, which she claims she couldn't explain to the girls from her village because they'd have no context for its abundance and calm. But she shows us the infinite rifts in a globalized world, where any distance can be crossed in a day--with the right papers--and "no one likes each other, but everyone likes U2." Where you have to give up the safety you'd assumed as your birthright if you decide to save the girl gazing at you through razor wire, left to the wolves of a failing state.

Not Michelle, Angela or Lisa. these saved but sexy successful black women think they're getting too old to keep waiting on God to send them their soul mates. Under the protective eye of their more spiritual sister-girlfriend Vanessa, and the scrutiny of newly saved, but still sarcastic man-hater Nicole, the ladies go on a hilarious adventure to "be found" by their husbands. Armed by their list of essential must-haves, would-be-nices, icing-on-the-cakes and deal-breakers, they start their search, but soon encounter issues specific to the saved woman on the dating scene. Is online dating okay for Christians? How long do you wait before you tell the hottie you just met that you're celibate and plan to stay so until married? He's too fine to pass up...how saved does he really need to be? And of course, how do you keep things holy when he's oh-so-sexy?

Coming of age in the heart of crime-ridden Brooklyn, Shyne Blackwood is one in a set of triplets born into poverty and great tragedy. While his brothers are raised to seek a life of promise, Shyne's path veers early on. A street-seasoned hustler, he becomes known as a liar, a thief, and ultimately, a killer. Personifying many of the negative stereotypes attributed to black men, Shyne is accused and convicted of the brutal murder of a child, and an entire city demands vengeance as he's sent to death row in a cold New York state prison. On the eve of Shyne's execution, five people travel to Quincy Correctional Facility to witness the event. As the clock counts down to midnight, and while everyone has long since abandoned Shyne to his fate, a secret at the heart of this unthinkable crime remains to be discovered. It is a secret that will test the bonds of family, the strength of one man's character, and the redemptive power of a love worth dying for. 00:30:00ChocolitnoTracy Price-Thomas,Gather Together in My Name,Novel,Crime,MysteryFrom the nationally bestselling and Hurston/Wright award-winning author Tracy Price-Thompson comes a heartbreaking story of loyalty and love that goes beyond thhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/chocolitchicks/2010/04/08/casanegraBookshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/chocolitchicks/2010/04/08/casanegra/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/chocolitchicks/2010/04/08/casanegraThu, 08 Apr 2010 23:00:00 GMTCasanegra- A Tennyson Hardwick NovelCasanegra follows the adventures of Tennyson Hardwick, a gorgeous, sexy actor and former gigolo, living on the fringes of the good life in Hollywood. This story, which chronicles the redemption of a prodigal son, combines the glamor of Hollywood with the seedy hopelessness of the inner city. In this hot and steamy mystery, Tennyson struggles to hang on to his acting career and redeem his sex-for-pay history, which estranged him from his family --especially his father, a decorated LAPD captain who raised Tennyson to call him, "sir." Now, in the wake of his father's sudden stroke, Tennyson has to save himself from taking the fall for the murder of a female rapper. In the process he discovers his hidden talents--the hard way. Golden Globe-nominated actor and author of Before I got Here, Blair Underwood joins bestselling novelists Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes to create a cool charater in Tennyson Hardwick. This gritty provocative mystery will keep readers craving more.
