"For fans of Rhythm’s Blues by Kimberly Brown, Into the Spotlight is a soulful, unforgettable romance where grief finds its melody, and love takes center stage. Trinity Raya Walker has music in her blood and heartbreak in her past. At nineteen, she’s the newest name lighting up the R&B charts. Her lyrics are raw, her sound electric, but her soul is still mourning the brother she lost too soon. Every song she writes is a confession, and every stage she steps on brings her closer to healing … or breaking. Keith Harris used to be next in line for fame, until life hit him with a loss he couldn’t sing his way through. Now, he’s working security gigs just to get by, watching his dream slip further out of reach. When Trinity and Keith lock eyes, there’s something familiar there—like recognizing a scar you can’t see yet know too well. In an industry built on image and illusion, love doesn’t come easy. As fame pushes them apart and buried truths rise to the surface, the price of success might be the one thing their hearts can’t afford to pay."

The Tougaloo Nine: The Jackson Library Sit-In at the Crossroads of Civil War and Civil Rights

"During a dramatic three-day period in March 1961, nine students from historically Black Tougaloo College staged sit-ins at the all-white Main Library in Jackson, Mississippi. The students conducted their protest, were arrested, held in jail overnight, and convicted of 'breach of peace'―the first time that charge had ever been brought in a Mississippi courtroom. On day three, police attacked a peaceful crowd of observers awaiting the trial's outcome, the first known use of police dogs on a peaceful gathering during the civil rights era. The protests occurred while Mississippi was preparing to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the state's secession from the Union and the commencement of the Civil War. The library sit-in preempted the state's Confederate extravaganza which brought more than thirty thousand mostly white observers into the streets of Jackson while the students sat in jail, further inflaming passions on both sides. In The Tougaloo Nine, M. J. O'Brien delves into Tougaloo College's culture of resistance, Mississippi's determination to preserve segregation, and the early stirrings of the student movement in Jackson. Through numerous interviews and years of detailed research, O'Brien tells the stories of these courageous African American students."

Alicia: His Troublesome Fate

"On the outside looking in, Brix has done a fantastic job of managing his emotions following the fallout with the Elders. He’s jumped right into life in Madow and worked tirelessly to make himself irreplaceable among the community he now called home, and he’s done so with a smile on his face and a carefree attitude. It was when he collapsed onto his bed at the end of the day that his thoughts eventually consumed him. He was haunted by the life he’d left behind and the truths that were revealed the day he left his old pack for good. The crux of the matter is that everything he knew about himself was a lie, and as he battles to create a new self-image—one he could be proud of—the tight grip he has on his sanity begins slipping. No one but his wolf could have predicted that the one woman who he’s warned to avoid would be instrumental in retaining his hold. The last few months have seen Alicia softening where everyone who knew her would have sworn she’d never budge. Once called the rudest wolf in Madow, she has made a concerted effort at keeping her past from coloring her interactions with her new alpha or the wolves she’d brought with her. It should be simple enough, but it’s harder work than she could have anticipated. A chance encounter with the man who both activates her skepticism and makes her wolf pay attention, and she is soon flooded with memories—some familiar, some…enlightening. Overwhelmed, she is shocked when the only one who can help her is the person she trusts the least. Even more jarring is the way her wolf responds to him. Two people who feel like outsiders no matter how hard they try to fit in find that their history intersects in a way that neither can deny, and they’ll need each other to clear away the pain from their separate pasts. While working side-by-side, they discover something unavoidable building between them and suddenly there is another—more pressing—reason to make it to the other side of their journey. Can they weather the thunderstorm of their history to make it to the rainbow they deserve?"

Janine: His True Alpha

"Janine was raised to be a passive and obedient wolf shifter and to always put the will of The Elders before her own—a will that she never questioned until the one day she was instructed to become the mate of a man she didn’t love, and who didn’t love her. Fed up with rules and obligations, she left everything she knew behind and headed out west. She arrived in West Texas with the expectation of getting a fresh start as a new woman with no one to answer to but herself. What she didn’t expect was to discover secrets big enough to tilt her world and people she would be willing to kill for because of them. Langston always knew he would be the next True Alpha of his pack, but when his father died, Langston’s premature promotion had him unsure about his path. With the weight of the pack on his shoulders and a thriving urban ranching community in West Texas to oversee, the last thing on Langston’s mind is finding a mate. Of course, trouble always finds you when you’re not looking for it, and in blows a woman who shakes up his pack and knocks him off his feet. Her zeal amazes him and soon the pull between them is undeniable. Will succumbing to the desires of his wolf prove to be the right move or turn out to be fruitless?"

Lenora: His Omega Mate

"As the twin of the future alpha, Lenora was born to be the omega of her pack. It was her birthright and duty to keep the emotional balance in the Hurst pack, and it was a duty she embraced with open arms. However, ensuring everyone else's happiness began to drain her spirit and make her long for a mate to call her own; someone who could help her decompress the way she did for others. After her brother finally accepted his position as alpha and chose his mate, she wasted no time in her quest to follow suit. Since the wolf she preferred was determined to remain unattached, the hunt was on for someone who would give her everything she had been yearning for and quell the aching loneliness of her wolf. Adrian has been second-in-command to his best friend since the two of them were in diapers; long before either of them were known as beta or alpha of alphas. He has also been in love with his best friend's twin sister for just as long. Although he won't disrespect his alpha by pursuing the pack omega, watching his Nora search for a mate is slowly driving him insane. Bound by teachings of those considered more wiser than he, his fight to remain unaffected becomes increasingly difficult. Suddenly, the reasons sitting between them seem less like duty and more like torture, and before long Adrian has to decide what's more important: loyalty or love."

The Black Yearbook [Portraits and Stories]

"A gripping exploration of the joys, hardships, and truths of Black students through intimate, honest dialogues and stunning photography, author of Heavy "A radical, reverential, and restorative document of community."-Rebecca Bengal, author of Strange Hours: Photography, Memory, and the Lives of Artists When photographer Adraint Bereal graduated from the University of Texas, he self-published an impressive volume of portraits, personal statements, and interviews that explored UT's campus culture and offered an intimate look at the lives of Black students matriculating within a majority white space. Bereal's work was inspired by his first photo exhibition at the George Washington Carver Museum in Austin, entitled 1.7, that unearthed the experiences of the 925 Black men that made up just 1.7% of UT's total 52,000 student body. Now Bereal expands the scope of his original project and visits colleges nationwide, from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to predominantly white institutions to trade schools and more. Rather than dwelling on the monolith of trauma often associated with Black narratives, Bereal is dedicated to using honest dialogue to share stories of true joy and triumph amidst the hardships, prejudices, and internal struggles. Using an exciting and eclectic design approach to accompany the portraits and stories, each individual profile effectively conveys the interviewee's unique voice, tone, and background. The Black Yearbook reframes society's stereotypical perception of higher education by representing and celebrating the wide range of Black experiences on campuses. * This audiobook edition includes a downloadable PDF that contains selected photographs taken by the author from the book."
