Judy Johnson
Known as one of the best pinch-hitting third baseman to ever play the game, Judy Johnson played seventeen seasons of Negro league baseball before retiring in 1937. Johnson was known for his calm and professional demeanor on the field, and he also managed many of the teams he played for. After his retirement, he went on to become one of the first black men hired to a coaching position for a Major League Baseball team. This book chronicles the life of the sports hero while introducing readers to the difficulties of living in a time of segregation and political upheaval.

Cancer Songs
This collection of fifty meditations based on texts from the Book of Psalms is designed for cancer patients and their caregivers. Focusing on five major emotions that appear both in the Psalms and throughout the cancer experience--fear, anger, sorrow, joy, and gratitude--it is an honest account of one survivor's experience with three different cancers. For each of the emotions, the book contains ten meditations, written over a period of more than a decade. Each meditation is 300-500 words long, prefaced by the Psalm text. The book also includes a poem at the beginning of the section for each emotion, as well as the author's abstract watercolors, used for both the cover and each section. Suggestions for how to help a cancer patient are included at the back. Although the author is rooted in the Anglican tradition, the psalms are part of the Jewish heritage, and are widely applicable. This work is intended to remind the patient or caregiver that they are not alone, as well as to offer both comfort and encouragement.
Anatomy of the McMartin Child Molestation Case
This book details the painful, torturous, and often unbelievable turn of events in the McMartin sexual molestation case. It offers a critical window on Salem by the Sea, revealing how civil society and the criminal justice system have mindlessly and brutally dealt with young children, their parents, defendants, and their families under the guise of pursuing justice and equity.

Jack
One-eyed Captain Jack Falconer is a man with many secrets. It's 1938, the eve of World War II, and a pearling lugger in the Torres Strait is the place he chooses to hide. But Jack's demons follow him out to sea and rise to the surface just as surely as the pearl shell his divers collect from the dangers of the deep. Embittered, intelligent and self-destructive, Jack's only way to prove himself is to compete with, defeat and destroy the very weaknesses he fears. Set in the expansive and beautiful Coral Sea, this bold combination of the claustrophobia of a small boat, its young crew and their dangerous Captain holds the reader breathless until the last page is turned.
Just One Foot
Judy Johnson Berna tells the story of the long road to the elective amputation of her deformed left foot.
Beryl McBurnie
Determined, imperious, flighty, charming, Beryl McBurnie was born in Trinidad and went to New York in the early 1940s to study dance and drama. She also made a name for herself as a dancer and singer, Belle Rosette. But she turned her back on the bright lights to return to Trinidad. There she continued the work she had begun before World War II, researching and performing the dances of the Caribbean, especially those that drew on African traditions. She was part of an anticolonial movement that recognized the unique culture of the country and the region and eventually led Trinidad and Tobago to independence. Artistically, McBurnie's work influenced dancers throughout the region and beyond. She also devoted years to building the Little Carib Theatre. Intended as a home for folk dance, it also housed Derek Walcott's Theatre Workshop and became a crucible for the performing arts. This book portrays the woman, explores the influences that shaped McBurnie and those whom she influenced in turn, and tells of her struggle to realize a vision she nurtured for decades.
