To spectators looking from the outside world, Gregory Watson, a handsome, multilingual and suave thirty-something-year young African-American expatriate was living the golden life. As a sports icon in Spain, he enjoyed financial security, ardent popularity and unbridled female adulation. However after an eleven-year sojourn, Gregory at the behest of his truest love --- daughter Caryn Ann Michelle --- decided the time was right to return to his American roots. All things considered, despite the comforting prospects of returning ‘home, sweet home’, there was still something amiss in the life of one of Brooklyn’s finest as he waited for the solution of his misery to ‘burst in with the dawn’. Meanwhile, some eleven hundred miles away at ‘first fowl crow’, Desiree Thompson, a vibrant, beautiful and successful businesswoman mourns for an unknown absence of being. As President/CEO of Thompson Management Limited and Nassau Bahamas most eligible bachelorette, her business acumen and passion for excellence was second to none. Still, although Desiree was able to conquer most of life’s everyday challenges, only one overwhelmed her: love. Even as many capable suitors vied for a place on her throne, no enchanted king captured or enlivened the heart of this Caribbean queen. As her quest for the Holy Grail continued, she often gazed ‘across the midnight sky’ in a never-ending search for something nice. Both Desiree and Gregory cannot avoid an inevitable fact: they were meant to be in love and together. However after many wonder years and definitive lives apart, the question arises: does love stand a chance the second time around? It's only a matter of time with a ‘wait for the magic’ as this compelling couple embarks on a complex yet amazing soul journey which defies both convention and imagination. It bears forth these hallowed words: I CAN RECALL AFTER ALL.

Battle of Big Bethel

Crucial Clash in Early Civil War Virginia

By: J. Michael Cobb,Edward B. Hicks,Wythe Holt

“A comprehensive study of the Civil War’s first major battle . . . well leavened with strategic and political context” (Robert E. L. Krick, author of Staff Officers in Gray). Battle of Big Bethel is the first full-length treatment of the small but consequential June 1861 Virginia battle that reshaped perceptions about what lay in store for the divided nation. The successful Confederate defense reinforced the belief most Southerners held that their martial invincibility and protection of home and hearth were divinely inspired. After initial disbelief and shame, the defeat hardened Northern resolution to preserve their sacred Union. The notion began to take hold that, contrary to popular belief, the war would be difficult and protracted—a belief that was cemented in reality the following month on the plains of Manassas. Years in the making, Battle of Big Bethel relies upon letters, diaries, newspapers, reminiscences, official records, and period images—some used for the first time. The authors detail the events leading up to the encounter, survey the personalities as well as the contributions of the participants, set forth a nuanced description of the confusion-ridden field of battle, and elaborate upon its consequences. Here, finally, the story of Big Bethel is colorfully and compellingly brought to life through the words and deeds of a fascinating array of soldiers, civilians, contraband slaves, and politicians whose lives intersected on that fateful day in the early summer of 1861. “The authors do a wonderful job of describing the motivations and mindsets of both the U.S. and Confederate soldiers at the outset of the conflict and handle slavery very effectively throughout.” —Edward L. Ayers, author of The Thin Light of

Every Drop of Blood

The Momentous Second Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln

By: Edward Achorn

This vividly rendered Civil War history presents “a lively guided tour of Washington during the 24 hours or so around Lincoln’s swearing-in” (Adam Goodheart, Washington Post). By March 4, 1865, the Civil War had left intractable wounds on the nation. Tens of thousands crowded Washington’s Capitol grounds that day to see Abraham Lincoln take the oath for a second term—and witness what was perhaps the greatest inaugural address in American history. Lincoln stunned the nation by arguing that both sides had been wrong, and that the war’s unimaginable horrors might have been God’s just verdict on the national sin of slavery. In Every Drop of Blood, Edward Achorn reveals the nation’s capital on that momentous day—with its mud, sewage, and saloons, its prostitutes, spies, reporters, social-climbing spouses and power-hungry politicians. Swirling around the complex figure of Lincoln, a host of characters are brought to life, from grievously wounded Union colonel Selden Connor to the embarrassingly drunk new vice president, Andrew Johnson, to poet-journalist Walt Whitman; from soldiers’ advocate Clara Barton and African American leader Frederick Douglass to conflicted actor John Wilkes Booth. In indelible scenes, Achorn captures the frenzy and division in the nation’s capital at this crucial moment in America’s history. His story offers new understanding of our great national crisis, and echoes down the decades to resonate in our own time.

Bassically Speaking

An Oral History of George Duvivier

By: Edward Berger,David Chevan

Both as a person and as a musician, he was number one in my book." --Benny Carter Bassist George Duvivier (1920-1985) was one of the most universally respected musicians in jazz. His impeccable musicianship graced the big bands in the 1940s and led to musical associations with virtually every important jazz and popular artist. His prolific recording career spanned all styles of music, from Eubie Blake to Eric Dolphy, Billie Holiday to Barry Manilow. Duvivier was a most astute and articulate observer of the musical scene. A large part of this book is devoted to his own reflections on growing up in Harlem in the 1920s and 1930s, the evolution of the bass, life in the commercial studios, and his memories of close associates--Coleman Hawkins, Jimmie Lunceford, Bud Powell, Lena Horne, and many others. In addition, twenty of Duvivier's colleagues, including Louie Bellson, Ron Carter, Milt Hinton, Ed Shaughnessy, Arthur Taylor, and Joe Wilder, have contributed, covering a variety of musical and social issues, as well as providing a loving portrait of an extraordinary artist. Duvivier's musical style is discussed by David Chevan, who has included transcriptions of several solos. An extensive discography/solography traces Duvivier's incredibly diverse recording career. With dozens of previously unpublished photos.
