"In Birmingham, Alabama, on September 15, 1963, it is one little girl's 10th birthday. Excited about Youth Day at the 16th Street Baptist Church, she puts on her patent leather shoes and practices her choir solo. But her birthday will include no cake and no candles this year. A group of men have tucked a bundle of dynamite under the church's steps, and when it goes off, four girls are dead: AddieMae Collins, Carole Robertson, Cynthia Wesley, and Denise McNair. Smoke clogs the throats of worshippers as they search for sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers in the crumbled plaster and broken glass. Author Carole Boston Weatherford, an award-winning poet and children's author, shares this story in poignant free verse poetry from the viewpoint of a fictional child eyewitness. Listeners will be transported back to this dark period in American history by Lizzie Cooper Davis' moving narration. 'These children-unoffending; innocent and beautiful-were the victims of one of the most vicious, heinous crimes ever perpetrated against humanity ... in spite of the darkness of this hour we must not despair. We must not become bitter ...'-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., eulogy for victims of the 16th Street Church bombing 'To all who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. The struggle continues.' -author's dedication"
"Best-selling author C. Kelly Robinson's books have received praise from such esteemed publications as Essence, Publishers Weekly, and the Chicago Sun-Times. Here he delivers a story about two people who find comfort with one another while struggling to overcome life's obstacles. Deacon Davis turns to speech therapy after his debilitating speech impediment costs him his job within the political party his father founded. Maria Oliver, a speech therapist with a shadowy past, discovers that by helping Deacon, she too can find trust and comfort."
"Carl Weber is the New York Times best-selling author of such fan favorites as So You Call Yourself a Man (CF175). The First Lady is the tale of a preacher's wife who learns she's dying and vows to find her husband another woman. There is no shortage of ladies who want her man, but will she be able to find a suitable replacement among the conniving church women? 'Weber keeps the pacing brisk and loads the narrative with enough surprise turns to keep readers guessing to the end.'-Publishers Weekly"
