Portrait of a Young Woman

A Novel

By: Margie Bruce

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A young woman's search for her true identity led her halfway around the world--to the Philippines--a country she knew nothing about; a country she could have called her own. As Marissa Maiers searches for the truth, Eva Carino succumbs to the thought that she may never see the child she gave up twenty-one years ago. On the other side of the world, the strokes of an artist's paintbrush bring back to life the very woman he is trying to let go. Portrait of a Young Woman is a delightful and refreshing tale of sacrifice, unspoken passion and enduring love during the bygone era of American military presence in the Philippines.

How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind

Madness and Black Radical Creativity

By: La Marr Jurelle Bruce

“Hold tight. The way to go mad without losing your mind is sometimes unruly.” So begins La Marr Jurelle Bruce's urgent provocation and poignant meditation on madness in black radical art. Bruce theorizes four overlapping meanings of madness: the lived experience of an unruly mind, the psychiatric category of serious mental illness, the emotional state also known as “rage,” and any drastic deviation from psychosocial norms. With care and verve, he explores the mad in the literature of Amiri Baraka, Gayl Jones, and Ntozake Shange; in the jazz repertoires of Buddy Bolden, Sun Ra, and Charles Mingus; in the comedic performances of Richard Pryor and Dave Chappelle; in the protest music of Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, and Kendrick Lamar, and beyond. These artists activate madness as content, form, aesthetic, strategy, philosophy, and energy in an enduring black radical tradition. Joining this tradition, Bruce mobilizes a set of interpretive practices, affective dispositions, political principles, and existential orientations that he calls “mad methodology.” Ultimately, How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind is both a study and an act of critical, ethical, radical madness.

JOURNEY FOR AN ANSWER

STORY BASED ON LIFE AND TIMES OF ONE MAN’S SEARCH FOR HIS DREAM AND HIS ANSWER, REALITY.

By: Jerome Bruce

This book is dedicated to the people who believe in the journey that is called life, no matter how it begins or where it ends. The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. When I was growing up in Brooklyn there were some people, not many, who feared the journey. They believed that home was their castle. They built moats around their castle that had to be maintained. The moat might have been the staircase. They would sweep the stoop and the grounds that circled the castle and wash the stoop, which may have been their drawbridge. The most important thing was staying close to their castle. They did not go too far from home. I, on the other hand, believe that staying close to home would stunt a person’s growth. I believe that in order to grow as a person you have to go farther than the front door. The kings, as I imagine, would send their general and officers to survey vast different lands to enhance their knowledge and awareness as their people consciously experienced processes that allowed those folks to live vicariously through the path that someone else walked, and in their mind’s eye, it became their reality.

The War Comes to Plum Street

The War Comes to Plum Street

By: Bruce C. Smith

How World War II changed New Castle, Indiana. “This is a unique look at the war, far from the front lines, but equally impacting life on the home front.” —Bookviews.com The War Comes to Plum Street brings to life the Second World War through the eyes of a small group of neighbors from a Midwestern town. Bruce C. Smith presents their stories just as they happened, without explanation or interpretation. To experience the war as they did, insofar as it is possible, we must understand how they perceived everyday events and recognize the incompleteness of their knowledge of what was taking place in Europe and the Pacific. The inhabitants of Plum Street in New Castle, Indiana, resemble many other average Americans of their day. As we discover how they experienced those fateful years, these Americans may have something to teach us about how we live in our own turbulent time. “This remains a superb story. Bruce C. Smith has a wonderful eye for detail and a compelling perspective and voice. We care about this place and the people who live here.” —James H. Madison, author of Hoosiers: A New History of Indiana “The book is worth reading for what it offers about the emotional life of the times. Smith recognizes that in a small community and, more particularly, on a single street, lives are enmeshed . . . Ultimately, this book is deeply personal, but it reminds us that life is lived at a deeply personal level.” —HistoryNet.com

Swift Currents

By: David Bruce Grim

Twenty-hree year old Callie has lived in bondage at Oakheart Plantation since her birth. She has become a valuable asset to her cruel master, Daniel Bowen, but Callie, her two brothers, and her young daughter struggle to cope with the outrages of enslavement. Change occurs suddenly on November 7, 1861, when the Union Navy attacks Port Royal Sound in South Carolina. Slavery ends across the surrounding sea islands after the planters flee. Ten thousand newly freed people, like Callie and her family, begin life under the authority of the US government. A historical novel based on actual events from 1861 to 1863, Swift Currents describes the slaves' transition from bondage to freedom through the lens of Callie and her two brothers. As they and others pursue education, work for wages, fight for freedom, and become landowners, their lives intersect with civilian and military authorities. Callie's story seeks to help the nation come to terms with its racial history and serves to provide a greater understanding of shared stories, thus lessening the inherited prejudice of generations.

The Fifth Generation War

By: Bruce Haedrich

Wilson Kraft, a retired history professor, having lived through America's darkest years, has recorded his insider's story. Now, toward the end of his life, battling two disparate allegiances, he tries to find the courage to expose the grisly historical truths that could destroy his family. His story unfolds as the U.S. is attacked by a terrorist army embedded within the country and intent on annihilating what they consider a predatory American Empire. The guerillas, known as the International Army of Liberation, outmaneuver the American military superpower with low-tech, potent, and repeated attacks on American citizens. They create enough chaos to break the social order from within. As the government tightens security controls and scrambles to identify its enemies, a web of intrigue draws the reader into a thrilling quagmire of greed and corruption that lead us to a sterile world where freedom is sacrificed for security. The Fifth Generation War warns us of what could happen if current trends continue to organize and define the American way of life.

Voyage to Curiosity's Father

By: Bruce Moen

Are you God?" the Planning Intelligence asked. "No," I replied. "Guess it depends on your perspective," It said. To author Bruce Moen, these words acknowledged that his odyssey into the nonphysical realms of existence would at last carry him back to the origin of consciousness itself, to the source he calls, "Curiosity's Father." In this latest installment in his popular 'Exploring the Afterlife Series', Moen takes you on his deepest exploration of the vast, uncharted spaces beyond reality. Meeting those who have gone before, he asks: What is consciousness? Where do we, and our perceptions, fit into what is ultimately real? How can we discover what lies before, and beyond, our lives on Earth? You will enjoy Moen's ability to translate the difficult metaphysical concepts learned during his out-of-body explorations into easily understood metaphors and images. Going back . . . and back . . . and back to Curiosity's Father provides a stunning glimpse into the ultimate nature of consciousness. It is a journey unlike any you have taken before.

5-Star Baby Name Advisor

By: Bruce Lansky

Five-Star Baby Name Advisor is a unique and invaluable book for parents who want to select a name that will give their child a head start in life. It contains more helpful information about each name than any other book--starting with star ratings (like the ones used to rate movies, hotels, and mutual funds). Most name books are basically lists of names that include origin and meaning. This unique book gives parents lots of help in deciding which name to choose for their baby. Here is a list of all the features you'll find in the book. Notice that most of the features (marked with an asterisk) can't be found in any other book; and two features marked with asterisks can only be found in name books by Bruce Lansky: -Star rating* -Origin -Meaning -Gender usage** (showing whether names are used primarily for boys, primarily for girls, or equally for both) -First impressions** (what images come to mind when names are called in school or seen on job applications) -Popularity rankings and recent trends* -Spelling difficulty* -Pronunciation difficulty* -Versatility* (availability of versions of the name for informal and formal social occasions) -The most famous namesakes -Common nicknames -Common variations -Final considerations* (pros and cons) Mother's Choice Awards 2009 Silver Award: Pregnancy & Childbirth

Uncommon Sons

A twisty murder mystery set at a hotel in the 1930s

By: Bruce W. Bishop

Immerse yourself in a tale of murder, discrimination, diversity, and discovery 1935. Nova Scotia, Canada. Marc Youssef constantly wrestles with his commitment to his strict Lebanese culture and upbringing. But when you’re a thirty-four-year-old bachelor — and you are secretly attracted to other men — deception at home and at work simmers daily and threatens to boil over. After two guests are found dead in the tony railway hotel in Halifax where Marc works, his job is compromised, and his personal life is vulnerable to exposure. One of the suspects in the possible murder investigation just happens to be Marc’s clandestine and married love interest. Journalist Eva McMaster, Marc’s best friend, is determined to help him find out what really happened. The two become unlikely sleuths in this bizarre incident that becomes the talk of the east coast city. Uncommon Sons is a fascinating tale of sexual identity, systemic racism, familial obligations, workplace pressures, and the bonds of love and friendship prior to World War II. Interlinked to Bishop’s debut novel, Unconventional Daughters, this page-turner further explores what happens when adults are not what and who they are expected to be. Pick up a copy of Uncommon Sons and reunite with some of the beloved characters from the author’s debut novel. The third book in the trilogy, Undeniable Relations, was released in December 2022. Praise for Uncommon Sons ~ “…an exploration of identity and prejudice, of the tension between old ways and new. … Mr. Bishop handles these difficult issues deftly and with sensitivity, as his main characters Marc and Eva seek to find their own way through the discrimination that surrounds them in their quest for a more tolerant world.” – Riana Everly, author of The Assistant and Through a Different Lens ~ “An intriguing mystery, great characters, and a lesser known facet of Canadian history combine to make Uncommon Sons a compelling read!” – Linda Bennett Pennell, author of Miami Days Havana Nights

The Baby Name Survey Book

What People Think about Your Baby's Name

By: Bruce Lansky,Barry Sinrod

What will people thing about your baby's name? "The Baby Name Survey Book," previously titled "The Baby Name Personality Survey," is not just a baby name book -- it is a reflection of how popular culture affects the perception of popular names. This is the fist name book to provide information on what people think about names. With the information in this book, parents can pick a name for their child with positive connotations, and avoid names that might subject their child to teasing. A total of over 100,000 parents were surveyed to determine the most common images people hold about the most popular names for babies. For this new edition, over 300 new names were added to the original 1,400 names, and many of the names were updated to reflect the most up-to-date information about the names you're considering for your baby, including: The new image of names associated with celebrities, such as Newt, Colin, Denzel, Selena, Winona, and Mariah; The image of trendy names such as Taylor, Cody, Sierra, Dakota, Caitlin, and Jasmine; The image of newly popular ethnic and international names, such as Keisha, Latanya, Jamila, Asia, Rasheed, Alejandro, and Andre.
