Tragedy scoops up Ruth Johnson and drops her back down in her hometown, decades after she survived a vicious attack at the hands of her ex-husband, Eric Ashton. Ruth spent those years healing, rebuilding, becoming brand new and sharing her story of survival and victory with the world in her memoir that made her an international bestselling author. For years, she’s been on top of the food chain in the literary world, but the murder of her assistant, and the attempted murder of Ruth, has caused her world to come crashing down around her, forcing her back to the one place she thought she’d never live again, Jacksonville, Florida. There was a time when they were closer than sisters, May, Bernie, Clara rallied around Ruth in at the lowest point in her life and helped uplift her into the woman she was always meant to be. But somewhere on Ruth’s road to success, she’d left her friends behind. Success is one hell of a drug and near death experiences have a way of humbling a person. Among her friends again, Ruth is forced to face the ramifications of turning her back on them and another kind of rebuilding has to take place if she hopes to salvage these precious relationships. Adrian Carter is still fine, and, due to unexpected recent events, still single. A long time ago, he broke her heart. Ruth believed that she was finally over him. Seeing him again, she has to admit to herself and to him, that she still loves him as much now as she ever did. Adrian is determined to get it right this time. Ruth is his destiny, and he more convinced of that now than ever.

She is an “unbought and unbossed” acolyte of all the legendary firebrands, like Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, Tupac, and Malcolm X. The daughter of a single mom from St. Louis, she’s smart, sassy, and an outright firecracker. She is the first woman of color, and the first person of color, to regulate the boyz at the big banks as the powerful chair of the House Financial Services Committee. Auntie Maxine called out the crimes and corruption of this Oval Office with precision before anyone else dared to take a stand. Make no mistake, she is coming for the “king,” and whenever she aims, Maxine Waters doesn’t miss. With illustrations, deep research, and writing as endlessly quotable as she is, Queens of the Resistance pays tribute to this phenomenal woman. About the series: Each book of the Queens of the Resistance series will be a celebration of the rebellion against the oppression of women and an embracement of the new in the United States government. The series is adorned with sass, discernment, and the badassery of the present and future leadership. The Doomsday Clock is at a minute to midnight, and the patriarchal power grid that lights “the shining city on a Hill” is about to black out. It’s time to yield to the alternative—the power of women.

https://amzn.to/3dwkbRf (Kindle) https://amzn.to/2UoIjNW (Audiobook) https://amzn.to/2QNrLgz (Hardcover) https://amzn.to/2Jp7BW5 (Paperback) World-renowned hip-hop artist Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité’s vivid and intimate journey through his own and his family’s history—from South Carolina slavery to twenty-first-century Sweden. Born to interracial American parents in Sweden, Jason Diakité grew up between worlds—part Swedish, American, black, white, Cherokee, Slovak, and German, riding a delicate cultural and racial divide. It was a no-man’s-land that left him in constant search of self. Even after his hip-hop career took off, Jason fought to unify a complex system of family roots that branched across continents, ethnicities, classes, colors, and eras to find a sense of belonging. In A Drop of Midnight, Jason draws on conversations with his parents, personal experiences, long-lost letters, and pilgrimages to South Carolina and New York to paint a vivid picture of race, discrimination, family, and ambition. His ancestors’ origins as slaves in the antebellum South, his parents’ struggles as an interracial couple, and his own world-expanding connection to hip-hop helped him fashion a strong black identity in Sweden. What unfolds in Jason’s remarkable voyage of discovery is a complex and unflinching look at not only his own history but also that of generations affected by the trauma of the African diaspora, then and now.
