Book Description
Born of a Mohawk father and an escaped-slave mother, John ‘Daddy’ Hall was a product of not one but two oppressed peoples. His gripping story is the stuff of legends—of the War of 1812, of the harsh realities slavery and of triumph in the face of adversity. Over the course of his 117-year life, Hall identified as a freeman, a scout for the British under Chief Tecumseh, a captured slave, an escapee on the Underground Railroad, a town crier in Owen Sound, Ontario, a husband and, as his nickname aptly suggests, father to an impressive number of children. Owen Sound-based artist Tony Miller’s 80 stark and arresting black-and-white linocuts present an unflinching portrait of a remarkable African-Canadian whose story of resilience and reinvention offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Southwestern Ontario.

Book Description
In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller, and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His time as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson’s family, friends, and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson — From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life’s struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.

The moment I lifted my T-shirt and the shutter snapped, the sparks exploded and I couldn't rid myself of those feelings. No matter the gossip that follows him, he makes one thing clear: never mix work and lust. Nicholas The boy's a natural; a proper sub. He's also the model that dragged me back into the business. When he moved into my house in the mountains, it was supposed to be business as usual. Except, it's never business as usual.

Book Description
Falling for my temporary host wasn't part of the plan. Maxim I don't need a man. I don't need anyone. David thinks he can save me from the path of self-destruction, but he's wrong. I'm not trying to ruin my life; or fix it. I've given up trying either way. I have a plan. I'm leaving this city and all the wretched memories behind, but I need to say goodbye to my mother first. Father won't let me. He won't even open the door for me anymore. The only man to open his home to me is David. He's patient, caring, and sexy as all hell. I don't deserve his kindness. I don't need it. I don't need a man. But maybe it's a Daddy I needed all along. David All I ever wanted was someone to look after, to make mine. I didn't expect to find that someone in an angry little con-artist. Maxim's a heartthrob. He's also a troublemaker; a stubborn one at that. I'd be wise to stay away, but I might not be as wise as I thought. Every conversation with him is a battle and it takes a war to finally get to the core of the problems. All this boy wants is to see his mother and I'll be damned if I don't make it happen. His life is one massive heartbreak, but I can help heal a broken heart. There's so much good in him the world decided to ignore. No wonder he's angry. He won't be mistreated ever again; not on my watch. And if he would lower his shield for just one moment, maybe we could both find what we've truly been looking for. Daddy's Stubborn is a standalone entry in the Healing Touch series. It features one patient and caring Daddy, one stubborn and fiery Middle, and all the heart and steam. Contains mild Dom/Sub dynamic, Age Gap, Age Play, and a very happy ending for all who deserved it. Not Jack. Jack doesn't deserve it.

Book Description
Saloon-keepers and street preachers, gypsies and steel-walking Mohawks, a bearded lady and a 93-year-old “seafoodetarian” who believes his specialized diet will keep him alive for another two decades. These are among the people that Joseph Mitchell immortalized in his reportage for The New Yorker and in four books—McSorley's Wonderful Saloon, Old Mr. Flood, The Bottom of the Harbor, and Joe Gould's Secret—that are still renowned for their precise, respectful observation, their graveyard humor, and their offhand perfection of style. These masterpieces (along with several previously uncollected stories) are available in one volume, which presents an indelible collective portrait of an unsuspected New York and its odder citizens—as depicted by one of the great writers of this or any other time.

Book Description
Revered in South Africa as "An African American Mother of the Nation," Madie Beatrice Hall Xuma spent her extraordinary life immersed in global women's activism. Wanda A. Hendricks's biography follows Hall Xuma from her upbringing in the Jim Crow South to her leadership role in the African National Congress (ANC) and beyond. Hall Xuma was already known for her social welfare work when she married South African physician and ANC activist Alfred Bitini Xuma. Becoming president of the ANC Women’s League put Hall Xuma at the forefront of fighting racial discrimination as South Africa moved toward apartheid. Hendricks provides the long-overlooked context for the events that undergirded Hall Xuma’s life and work. As she shows, a confluence of history, ideas, and organizations both shaped Hall Xuma and centered her in the histories of Black women and women’s activism, and of South Africa and the United States.
