The Cosby Cohort

Blessings and Burdens of Growing Up Black Middle Class

By: Cherise A. Harris

The Cosby Cohort examines the childhood experiences of second generation middle class Blacks who grew up in mostly White spaces during the 1980s and 1990s. This probing book explores their journey to upward mobility, including the discrimination they faced in White neighborhoods and schools, the extraordinary pressures placed upon them to achieve, the racial lessons imparted to them by their parents, their tenuous relationships with Black children of other classes, and the impact that all of these experiences had on their adult racial identities. At young ages, this generation of middle class Blacks, whom Harris coins as the Cosby Cohort, was faced with racial displacement, frustration, and the ever-present pressure to emerge victorious against the pull of downward mobility. Even in adulthood, they continue to negotiate the tensions between upward mobility and maintaining ties to the larger Black community and culture. While these young Blacks may have grown up watching The Cosby Show, as the book reveals, their stories indicate a much more complex reality than portrayed by the show.

Rival Truce

What a Child Remembers, yet Defies to Forget

By: Cherise P. Pierce

Inside, you will find a story of two little girls that grow into very different young women who are strong-willed, evil, broken, stubborn, ruthless, dangerous, and everything in between. Does this sound like someone you know? They will find themselves thrust into a whirlwind of predicaments that seem too unimaginable and maniacle to believe. Does this sound like someone you know? The circle of friends they are intertwined with are no different from the circle of friends that you may have in your own everyday life. The only difference is this band of friends are just characters on the pages of this beautifully wicked novel. My goal is to inspire and awaken the senses in what could unfortunately be a true-to-life mystery, questioning how far would someone go. Although the story is fictional, the characters’ experiences and emotions will feel real. You will laugh, cry, and you just may swear, but I know you will be surprised. The development of events will also keep you guessing. This suspense-drama is an imitation of life where a series of twists and turns have you asking, “What else can happen?” See if the real circumstances in your life are stranger than the fictitious ones. Remember, a young child never forgets . . .

Love Like You've Never Been Hurt

Hope, Healing and the Power of an Open Heart

By: Jentezen Franklin,Cherise Franklin

The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do. Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive? The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you've never been hurt.
