Book Description
Everyone knows me as Whitley High’s resident man-hater. It wasn’t my idea, don’t look at me, but after one or two well-publicized incidents, I got stuck with that nickname. Instead of whining about it, I’ve embraced my reputation. It’s just my bad luck that I walk right into a bet between my older brother and his best friend. My brother says Ryan can’t make any girl fall for him while Ryan says he can. Guess what? I’m the girl here. Ryan Henderson is everything I don’t like. Flashy, superficial, the whole works. Okay, maybe he’s a little more charming than I expected. And that smile is something too. But I don’t have a choice. Our high school is breathlessly watching this drama play out, and I need to uphold my reputation. I also need to take my brother’s side. Four months of this stupid bet, and I’ve got this in the bag. There just might be one slight problem. What if I don’t want to win after all?

Book Description
As seen on the Today Show: This true story of an unforgettable mother, her devoted daughter, and their life in the Detroit numbers of the 1960s and 1970s highlights "the outstanding humanity of black America" (James McBride). In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a pretty young mother from Nashville, Tennessee, borrowed $100 from her brother to run a numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis's mother. Part bookie, part banker, mother, wife, and granddaughter of slaves, Fannie ran her numbers business for thirty-four years, doing what it took to survive in a legitimate business that just happened to be illegal. She created a loving, joyful home, sent her children to the best schools, bought them the best clothes, mothered them to the highest standard, and when the tragedy of urban life struck, soldiered on with her stated belief: "Dying is easy. Living takes guts." A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" and provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.
