Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Samantha is a wealthy young girl who has lived a very sheltered life, having the very best of everything that money could possibly buy, but deep down she was unhappy. She may be rich and beautiful, but that didn't mean she had the respect and acceptance of her classmates at school. No matter how hard she may try ignoring Tiffany and her mean friends, these girls would not stop making fun of her, until Tiffany went too far with her games and Samantha felt very hurt and angry. Tiffany had her laugh and her fun, but Samantha will get even with her by creating her own game, Chains of Whispers. What started off as a fun game of making fun of Tiffany quickly spiraled out of her control as her made-up lies about Tiffany grew worse. Samantha thought she was in control of her own game, but she learnt very soon that making up untrue stories can really hurt Tiffany, but it's too late! She was no longer in control of her nasty game; instead somebody was taking "control of Samantha" and the richest girl in town better do what she's being told . . . or everybody will know about Chains of Whispers!

Liasies

By: Braxton Tyler

Chickery hated having a weird family. While everyone at his school thought his or her family was sort of strange, for Chickery "strange" was an understatement. Often, he fantasized that his mother had taken the wrong baby from the hospital. Maybe, somewhere, there was a family with whom Chickery could relate. Maybe, somewhere, he could finally feel as though he fit in. His brother, Tommy, has always dreamed of being a world-class boxer. He even wears boxing gloves! Chickery is always embarrassed by Tommy, but one day, on the way to school, it gets even worse. Tommy breaks a window with his boxing gloves, and Chickery and Tommy are tossed onto the street. Instead of heading home, Chickery decides to run away to the local zoo, where he meets Larry, the lonely lion. Chickery and Larry become fast friends. Before meeting each other, they feel like outcasts; but together they don't feel so alone. However, Chickery soon discovers that Larry has a strange secret of his own, and Chickery must come to terms with the danger surrounding him at the zoo. He must also come to terms with his own individuality and the fact that being peculiar isn't always a bad thing.

African Americans of Spotsylvania County

By: Roger Braxton

African Americans of Spotsylvania County

By: Roger Braxton

Spotsylvania County, Virginia, was established in 1721, but it was not until after the Civil War that the names of approximately 4,700 African Americans born and/or living in the county were recorded for the first time. More than 150 African Americans were over the age of 70 as recorded in the 1870 census report. The county is best known as the namesake of its dynamic governor, Alexander Spotswood, and for its bloody Civil War battles. The African American community emerged from the ravages of war after more than 140 years of slavery. The community formalized the institutions they developed for survival during those years and charted a path for their growth. This volume pays homage to religion, work, service, education, and the human touch that brought families through undeniably difficult times.

Rap and Redemption on Death Row

Seeking Justice and Finding Purpose behind Bars

By: Alim Braxton,Mark Katz

Imprisoned since age nineteen, Alim Braxton has spent more than a quarter century on North Carolina's death row. During that time, he converted to Islam and dedicated his life to redemption. Braxton, a rapper since the age of thirteen, uses his rhymes as a form of therapy and to advocate for prison reform, particularly by calling attention to the plight of the wrongfully incarcerated. This book, a hip-hop-rich prison memoir, chronicles Braxton's struggles and triumphs as he attempts to record an album while on death row, something no one has done before. Braxton's world is complex: full of reflections on guilt, condemnation, incarceration, religious awakening, and the redemptive power of art. Ultimately, Braxton shows us that even amid the brutality of our prison system there are moments of joy, and on death row joy may be the most powerful form of resistance.

BLOODLINE: Our Father's House

By: Lynn Braxton

BLOODLINE: Our Father's House

By: Lynn Braxton

BLOODLINE: OUR FATHER'S HOUSE, is set on the island of Barbados where the great manor house, Belle Terre, sits empty as it has for almost a century, on a cliff overlooking the sea. Soft sighing winds whisper through the palms that surround it in concert with the gentle waves that wash ashore in the sheltered cove below. Overhead, a flock of seagulls circle, dive, then rise upon the currents and venture further out to sea. A tour bus passes through a pair of ornate iron gates in the distance and travels up a shell-packed avenue to the main entrance. A dozen visitors emerge and enter the house. The faded grandeur of Belle Terre holds them spellbound until they are drawn to the arbor, and the graves of the legendary Edmond Ribaut and his daughter, Desiree Arnaud. Kidnapped by a band of Edmond's enemies in 1827, the nineteen year old girl was believed to have perished in a shipwreck as her captors attempted to take her from the island. The chance discovery of 1852 of a cemetery 2,000 miles away proved Desiree lived for nine years after her disappearance, taking to her grave a secret so shocking that those who found her vowed never to reveal what they had discovered. Her remains were returned to Belle Terre in 1933 by the last descendant bearing Edmond Ribaut's bloodline. Her strange benefactor would, ironically, die the day Desiree was laid to her final rest beside her father in the arbor, leaving the great estate in a preservation trust to the island of Barbados. (postscript) As the sun sets on the island, the ageing caretaker guides his cart up the avenue to lock the gates. They close with a harsh bang that echoes in the stillness. He retraces his path to the workers' compound behind the house. As he reaches for his latch, he turns and looks toward the arbor one last time. She will come soon, emerging from the shadows to enter the house, her blue silk gown whispering across the parquet floors as her soft laughter floats through the rooms where she once played as a child. The old man nods, and closes his door for the night, leaving young Desiree to her benign haunting until the sun rises upon the land once more.

On Desire

Why We Want what We Want

Birth of a Legend

The Bomber Mafia and the Y1b-17

By: Capt Arthur H. Wagner Uscg (Ret),Arthur H. Wagner,Ltcol Leon E. (Bill),Leon E. Braxton

Competition for Army acquisition funding in the betrween wars depression years was fierce. The opposing camps of Fighter Supremacy versus Strategic Bombing played out at the Air Corps Tactical School (ACTS), at GHQ, before Congress and in the media. Military exercises pitted the Navy and the Air Corps in operations with real cloak and dagger background gambits, each trying to gain the upper hand. When leaders such as Benjamin Foulois, Billy Mitchell, and Frank Andrews eventually were able to foster a bomber competition to replace the Martin B-10, Boeing's four-engined Model 299 was a clear winner; but then it crashed at Dayton, and the Army opted for the Douglas B-18. Somehow, Frank Andrews had enough faith in his convictions and managed to have 13 Y1B-17s produced and sent to the 2nd Bombardment Group at Langley Field, VA. There Robert Olds and his three squadrons enthralled the country with long range goodwill flights, transcontinental speed runs with an obscure 1st Lt Curtis leMay navigating the way, and a thrilling movie "Test Pilot" starring Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, and Spencer Tracy. Fortunately for the trials of WWII, these daring young men of the Army Air Corps put their careers on the line, and made the B-17 one of the iconic weapons of that conflict. This is the untold story of the aircraft development and the men who made it happen.

Monuments of the Black Atlantic

Slavery and Memory

By: Joanne M. Braxton

With Aldon Nielson, the editors of this volume agree that ""the middle passage may be the great repressed signifier of American historical consciousness."" The essays collected here illustrate that the repressed memory of crossing lives not only in the academy, in oral traditions, and in the stone walls of slave fortresses but in the liturgy as well as the spiritual and religious practices throughout the African Diaspora. Descendants of African slaves living in the wide Diaspora are bearers of an ""unforgetful strength"" that endures and endures, manifesting itself in every aspect of culture. Black writers, artists and musicians in the New World have tested the limits of cultural memory, finding in it the inspiration to ""speak the unspeakable.""
