Smart and Sassy
Empirically based, the daily experience of adolescent black females is explicated within an explanatory model of social context and developmental theory. The author argues that adolescence must be seen from strengths and health perspectives. Self-relatedness or intersubjectivity expressed in assertion, empathy, and recognition is the core matrix of development where social contextual responses can be adaptive or maladaptive.
WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES
When 23-year old Ramara McDougal awakens in the middle of the night to see her former fiancé standing in the darkness at the foot of her bed, she is shocked and confused -- he had been killed in Viet Nam nearly a year ago. Now Ramara is forced to redefine her beliefs about life. Suddenly, she is propelled onto a long, unnerving journey from the supernatural world of spirit medium Mae Gray Wolf, to the underworld of Tony Avellino, the man she is truly destined to love. But when Tony goes missing in San Francisco, Ramara's attempts to find him endanger both of their lives, as she soon finds herself up against a rogue undercover cop, who plots to eliminate Tony, and the vicious Avellino Crime family, who make plans to eliminate her.

The Sacred Door and Other Stories
The Sacred Door and Other Stories: Cameroon Folktales of the Beba offers readers a selection of folktales infused with riddles, proverbs, songs, myths, and legends, using various narrative techniques that capture the vibrancy of Beba oral traditions. Makuchi retells the stories that she heard at home when she was growing up in her native Cameroon. The collection of thirty-four folktales of the Beba showcases a wide variety of stories that capture the richness and complexities of an agrarian society’s oral literature and traditions. Revenge, greed, and deception are among the themes that frame the story lines in both new and familiar ways. In the title story, a poor man finds himself elevated to king. The condition for his continued success is that he not open the sacred door. This tale of temptation, similar to the story of Pandora’s box, concludes with the question, “What would you have done?” Makuchi relates the stories her mother told her so that readers can make connections between African and North American oral narrative traditions. These tales reinforce the commonalities of our human experiences without discounting our differences.
Valley of the Yellow Stones, ll
There was a valley in the land of the ancients called Sheran and later renamed the Valley of the Yellow Stones. Its name came from the large yellow stones that were discovered in the streams, lakes, and rivers. Back in ancient times, the yellow stones were so plentiful that the ancients made jewelry and gold coins with them to barter with the surrounding villages and towns. They accumulated such a vast amount of riches that their greed overpowered their love for the land and stripped it of its minerals and nutrients; altering the rivers, lakes, and soil; leaving the land barren. Even with all their vast riches, the villagers were slowly and painfully starving to death so the Shaman Gershwen, came up with a plan to give back to the land and end their greediness. Does his plan work?
