PRISM
Prism is about the color and skin tone differences and afflictions within the African American race. The young men in this book share their trials and tribulations about how they endured the bullying, scorn, rejection and ill treatment from family, doctors, classmates and other members of society. Sticking together and encouraging each other is the glue that held them together as friends. J'Toya believes that as ignorant and confused as our society is, these young men were treated as outcasts because of other people's opinions of what normal is. The stories in this book are thought provoking and the research is very enlightening for those who don't have family members like them. It's also a good read for those who share their afflictions. Peace be unto you.
Under The Skirt
Finding a soulmate can be quite a chore! J'Toya shares her comical yet frustrating experience about her life with men and their hidden agendas that never seemed to end. Giving each one the benefit of the doubt, she always came up short-handed because they never seemed to be interested in what was in her heart and in her head. They were only interested in what was under her skirt and how they could use it to their advantages. This book will have you on the edge of your seats! A Must Read!
Hoochie Mama
J'Toya shares many unpleasant experiences that led her friends to mentally and physically self destruct. In the process, they became known as Hoochie Mamas because they fell victim to the violent world of drugs, rape and prostituting themselves while being influenced by negative role models in their homes and neighborhoods. Society expects women to be discreet, clean and submissive. Anything other than that, creates a negative stigma that follows them to their graves. J'Toya brings to us eye opening, heart gripping experiences that many readers can relate to. She hopes to reach the closed minds of people who sit back and criticize so-called Hoochies.
AT WITS END
J'Toya reached her "wits end" and did not spare any feelings while expressing her frustration in this book. Societal issues and what she deems as ignorant or immature actions led to her mental earthquake and she hopes that the reader will agree that issues in this book usually irritate the average person. J'Toya is a firm believer that if more people would write or talk about their feelings that it would keep a lot of them off of legal and prescription mind altering drugs and alcohol and lessen the need for psychiatric visits. This book is not for the holier than thou and is not meant to have a negative influence on minors. Warning: The language in this book is harsh and vulgar. Take the ride if you dare and then exhale afterwards.
Behind The Zipper
J'Toya explored the minds of some of her male friends to get their interpretations of sex and relationships. She was surprised to find that they were picky and concerned about who got behind their zippers because of their past actions and the way that she viewed most of them. They shared their first and worst sexual experiences and admitted that settling down was difficult for some of them because they couldn't see the forest for the trees. The raw and straight forward language in this book is the only way that they could truly express the meaning, "Behind The Zipper."
Inside the Pentagon Papers
Inside the Pentagon Papers addresses legal and moral issues that resonate today as debates continue over government secrecy and democracy's requisite demand for truthfully informed citizens. In the process, it also shows how a closer study of this signal event can illuminate questions of government responsibility in any era. When Daniel Ellsberg leaked a secret government study about the Vietnam War to the press in 1971, he set off a chain of events that culminated in one of the most important First Amendment decisions in American legal history. That affair is now part of history, but the story behind the case has much to tell us about government secrecy and the public's right to know. Commissioned by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, the Pentagon Papers were assembled by a team of analysts who investigated every aspect of the war. Ellsberg, a member of the team, was horrified by the government's public lies about the war - discrepancies with reality that were revealed by the report's secret findings. His leak of the report to the New York Times and Washington Post triggered the Nixon administration's heavy-handed attempt to halt publication of their stories, which in turn le
Deeply Dug in
Thirty-five years ago R. L. Barth was a Marine patrol leader in the First Reconnaissance Battalion in Vietnam. Today he is a poet's poet who articulates the harsh realities and ironies of war in the style of the great classical satirists. Barth writes about Vietnam, but his soldier's take on the war is startlingly applicable to the conflicts of the twenty-first century or to any war that happens to be going on. "I never once saw dying eyes / That were not stunned or shattered by surprise." That is just as it is, never mind all the dulce et decorum exhortations of politicians, who today as always clamor to kill us all. In this slender but rich collection of poems, R. L. Barth proves himself a...
Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam
The year is 1968. Like thousands of other American boys, Carl Melcher is drafted and sent to Vietnam. His new company is infected with the same racial tensions plaguing the nation. Despite that, Carl makes friends on both sides of the color line. The war, like a tiger lurking in the bushes, picks off its victims one by one. Naively over-optimistic, Carl believes that karma and good intentions will save him and his friends. Then fate intervenes to teach Carl something of the meaning of life, and death.
