 Chief:
The Autobiography of Chief Phillip Martin, Longtime Tribal Leader, Mississippi Band
of Choctaw Indians by
Phillip Martin (Author) Hardcover - July
8, 2009) Retired
Choctaw Chief Phillip Martin led an Indian
tribe of sharecroppers from the poorest pocket of poverty in the most impoverished
state in America, to prosperity beyond their wildest dreams. In less than a half
century, the
Mississippi Choctaws evolved from and uneducated,
low-wage, low-skill workforce that begged manufacturers to locate on the reservation
to a self-reliant, high-tech, skilled and scholarly workforce with whom companies
are seeking to partner today.

 A
Cheating Man's Heart by
Derrick Jaxn (Author)
(Nov 14, 2013)
Paperback,
Kindle
Edition ~ With his witty, humorous, and heartfelt writing style
that took the social media world virally by storm,
Derrick Jaxn (Author)
delivers
another lesson in love wrapped in the emotionally transparent
perspective of a troubled man. Shawn Fletcher, a former college football
phenom turned successful entrepreneur, is in need of the very thing he's
never proven to be ready for: love. To finally get to the heart of the
issue, his therapist goes digging into a closet full of skeletons that
neither of them were ready for. Shawn opens up about going to college
and meeting Jazmin, the bodacious vixen from Atlanta with a slick tongue
and vicious curves. They tame their sexual rendezvous into a genuine
friendship shortly before Danielle comes and stakes claim on Shawn's
heart. Everything seems perfect until his commitment to Danielle nearly
costs Jazmin her life. Shawn wants to fix things but knows he can't be
in two places at once; but can he make his heart play by the same rules?
Shawn is a hometown football hero with a promising future and a knack
for learning his lessons the hard way. He never got into much trouble
growing up, thanks in large part to his mother's belt, but now that he's
in college, that's all about to change. The line between commitment to what he wants for his future and loyalty
to what was there from the beginning gets blurred when Danielle and
Jazmin come into his life. He then learns first-hand that when dealing
with matters of the heart, trial and error proves to be more like
Russian Roulette; a dangerous game where second chances aren't
guaranteed. |
 The
Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Book): A Visitor's Guide to
the Human Race by
Jon Stewart,
David Javerbaum,
Rory Albanese, and
Steve Bodow (Sep 21, 2010) Editions:
Hardcover,
Audio CD,
Audible Audio Edition ~ Where do we come from? Who created us? Why
are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when
it became apparent to
Jon Stewart and the
writers of The Daily Show that the
world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that
summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements
in society, government, religion, science and culture -- all in a tome of approximately
256 pages with lots of color photos, graphs and charts. After two weeks of hard
work, they had their book.
Earth (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species.
With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team
will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely
unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy. |

 Virgin to
the Life by
John Collins (Author)
(Mar 3, 2013)
Kindle
Edition
Auto-delivered wirelessly,
Paperback ~ I’ve
built up walls for protection with only one entrance –an impractical,
artificial, invisible force field per say. I’m wondering why we as black
gay men feel lonely seventy percent of the time, why we go through our
“coming out” alone, worried about how we’ll be perceived and received.
Many of us, me included, keep our friendships and relationships to
ourselves unable to share ourselves with our family, recreating new
family members we label friends, whom at times we treat as strangers
because of our own demons. So once again you grapple with the spirit of
loneliness... Then you meet “him” and your world changes for a moment.
Nothing else matters as you lose yourself in this one person. You lose
yourself – never thinking that one day tragedy will strike and you will
lose whom you thought was the love of your life. That dude, your rib,
that one guy that has you so open, you disregard the use of latex… But
who can you turn to like the straight folk when things go sour, when you
have talked your best friend’s ear off about it pretending to be so over
it, when you are all prayed out, when you’ve listened to every single
sad song in your music collection, where do you turn when you really
want to reach out to your mother – the one who held you, kissed your
“boo-boos” and made you feel better but now can’t because she doesn’t
agree with who you are? Why has that unconditional love become
conditional? Once again, you find yourself in this too familiar place of
loneliness and despair. What the hell happened? Then you remember. It
all comes flooding back to you... how you met your boys, and how you met
his black ass… |
