David James Walker, the Deathmask Killer, one of the country's deadliest serial killers is dead. His final victim died in his arms brutally, his six year old daughter Amy. What starts as a horrific murder in the morgue where Amy's body lay, turns into a trail of bodies being violently murdered.

The morals, beliefs, and standards of young women today would have the sisters of the past feeling as is their legacy was achieved for no gain. As human beings we are placed on this earth to help, understand, and embrace one another. "Queens The evolution of the Black woman" gives a historical account of some resilient African American women who are the prototype of what a strong queen should immulate today.

The manuscript is informative, and motivational for any woman having difficulties with their inner self. Corretta Scott King, Winnie Mandela, and Michelle Obama are just a few of the historians in this book whose biographies may evolutionize your current state of thinking.
*WINNER OF THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE 2015* *WINNER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES / PETERS FRASER + DUNLOP YOUNG WRITER OF THE YEAR AWARD 2015* *SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST FIRST COLLECTION 2015* There is a Chinese proverb that says: ‘It is more profitable to raise geese than daughters.’ But geese, like daughters, know the obligation to return home. In her exquisite first collection, Sarah Howe explores a dual heritage, journeying back to Hong Kong in search of her roots. With extraordinary range and power, the poems build into a meditation on hybridity, intermarriage and love – what meaning we find in the world, in art, and in each other. Crossing the bounds of time, race and language, this is an enthralling exploration of self and place, of migration and inheritance, and introduces an unmistakable new voice in British poetry.
