Book excerpt: Dance as though no one is watching you Love as though you have never been hurt Sing as though no one can hear you Live as though heaven is here on earth - Anonymous For millions of women, the words "You have breast cancer" are a harsh reality. For Black women, those words hit especially hard as the mortality rate for Black women is staggering. It's a battle Karen Eubanks Jackson knows all too well. A FOUR-time breast cancer survivor, Jackson has used her triumphs, tragedies and lessons learned to inspire others. Now, she’s sharing it all in this evocative new book, In the Company of My Sisters. First diagnosed in 1993, Jackson knew little about the disease, despite the fact that she’d had a relative die from breast cancer. It was, after all, a silent shame the family kept. Determined to educate herself, Jackson devoured herself in research. And when she couldn’t find information or support specifically for Black women, she set out to fill that void, creating Sisters Network Inc., the only national survivorship-run organization designed to increase local and national attention to the devastating impact that breast cancer has in the Black community. In the Company of My Sisters is Jackson’s story. Her truth in battling the disease for 27 years. How she survived. How she succeeded and built a national sisterhood of Black breast cancer survivors. How she hopes to continue inspiring and educating others along the way. The book is filled with personal experiences and observations from Jackson as well as other survivors, this book will give insight into what shaped Jackson into a woman able to beat breast cancer – again and again and again. And with all the valuable information Jackson has accumulated over the years, the book will also serve as a one-stop resource for all your breast cancer questions. For those battling breast cancer, those walking the journey with survivors, and those who just want to educate themselves, In the Company of My Sisters will inspire you by the beauty and strength of the human spirit and why Jackson has made it her life’s mission change the course of the narrative surrounding the disease and help Black women take action to beat breast cancer.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE BLACKBOARD NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR Learn to love yourself in this wise, funny, insightful pocket-sized guide—the first book by a Black psychotherapist to address the issue of self-esteem in Black women’s lives. A collection of conversational narratives from a diverse range of unique voices, In the Company of My Sisters explores what it means to have self-esteem as a Black woman in the world today, confronting entrenched, internalized assumptions and offering new, empowering perspectives in their place. “I wrote this book to validate and celebrate who we are,” Boyd has said. “We have been the recipients of many distorted messages about our ethnicity and our femaleness.” With this thesis in mind, Boyd has drawn from a wealth of experience—her own and that of her “sister circle”—to take a hard and honest look at the realities and issues Black women face, and in this anthology of their stories, you can discover a new and validating pathway forward toward higher self-esteem. “Practical, hilarious, and common sense advice for self-care and self-recovery.”—Common Boundary

Book excerpt: "In 1903, Atlas built a plant on the border of the small community of Ilasco, located just outside Hannibal - home of the infamous cave popularized in Mark Twain's most acclaimed novels. The rich and powerful Atlas quickly appointed itself as caretaker of Twain's heritage and sought to take control of Ilasco. However, its authority was challenged in 1910 when Heinbach inherited her husband's tract of land that formed much of the unincorporated town site. On grounds that Heinbach's husband had been in the advanced stages of alcoholism when she married him the year before, some of Ilasco's political leaders and others who had ties to Atlas challenged the will, charging Heinbach with undue influence."--Jacket.

Maybe this trauma has pushed you so far into denial that you now wear different masks to cover up the pain and shame that you believe no one will understand. Has your life been rewritten by the constant and consistent consumption of drugs and alcohol, or has it lead you into a life of promiscuity? It was not your fault, my sister. As difficult as it is, please read the entire book in order to fully understand that there are others who have experienced your pain. It was not their fault either. As you read, I encourage you to rewind the tape of that dreadful day you were forced to partake in such sick act and address it head on. Have your pity party. Then let it go. DonaEUR(tm)t just let it go to the wind but give it to the Lord, all of it. Give him the hurt, the shame, and the pain. J. J.

The telegrapher's work, like that of the modern computer programmer, involved translating written language into machine-readable code. And anticipating the Internet by over one hundred years, telegraphers often experienced the gender-neutral aspect of the "cyberspace" they inhabited."--BOOK JACKET.
