Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one day a boy's life was changed-the relative tranquility of his world was shattered forever. For fourteen years, Nsanzabavunyi Theoneste Makombe had lived in the sleepy little village of Rukumbeli. He had gone to school and played with the children in the neighborhoods surrounding his own. His family had worshipped and celebrated with these people he thought were just like him. But following the death of Rwanda's president, Habyarimana Juvenal, everything changed. His Hutu neighbors had but one mission: Kill the Tutsi-every last one of them-and make them suffer! With machetes, clubs and other weapons, the Hutu pursued the terrified Tutsi, including the family Makombe. Everyone scattered, fleeing from killers bent on torturing their victims in unspeakable ways. Just before her life was taken by a murderous mob, Theo's mother gave her teen-aged son a command that saved his life: "...Run and never give up." Learn how a Gospel chorus and a series of miracles not only helped Theo survive the thirty-day massacre, but eventually revealed the love of God to this confused, hurting young man. See how the terrible mess of his life was transformed into a powerful message of hope and forgiveness-and how the Lord can do the same thing not only for individuals but entire nations.

Book excerpt: Baron James is poised to become the nation's first black president. He is handsome, young, and everything else positive his consultants could create. Racially he is the perfect amalgamation of melting pot America having features that neither define nor offend. He could be black, Hispanic or of Mediterranean heritage. All of which makes him so far ahead in the polls his election is already being referred to as a coronation. An earlier scandal linking his republican opponent to the Klan iced the election and James' victory. Baron James is also a marked man, and keeping him alive till Election Day will take a miracle. He is hated by every extremist group that can still hold a gun license. The Klan put a bounty on his head, and militias see him as a threat to the second amendment, but it is an invisible overseas enemy that has proven to be deadliest of all. A shadowy group known as 'The Consortium, ' with ties to the Vatican, and a history that dates back to the Lincoln Assassination, has vowed to either control Baron James.or kill him. The group has one point four trillion reasons to want James dead. That's the price tag attached to a slavery reparations lawsuit creeping through the courts. 'The Consortium' fears because Baron James is black he would shepherd the lawsuit through the judicial system and ruin their centuries old hold on power. Power that can directly be traced to the trafficking of human beings we know as slavery. Caught in the crossfire, Vanessa Sullivan, a beautiful young college coed battling to escape a trailer park past, and mixed race legacy that has defined her entire existence. A group of graphic sex photos surfaces leading to her mother's brutal death. Vanessasuddenly finds herself thrust into a deadly blackmail plot involving Baron James and 'The Consortium' Helpless, with no place else to turn, she enlists the help of Washington's best known investigative reporter, Matt Walker. When the bodies begin to pile up, Walker and Sullivan find they must unravel a mystery that dates back to the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln if they are to survive. A series of cryptic notes left behind by a person who identifies himself only as Father Chiniquy has the two following a DNA trail that leads them to the White House and a little known plot to assassinate President Lincoln. The key to stopping the assassination of Baron James rests with their ability to solve the mystery in time. The key to the mystery is in the code, 1.31/6: 05, but can they solve it in time? 'The Race' is Dan Brown's DaVinci Code, meets Tom Clancy CIA. It is a multi-national thrill ride with a jaw dropping ending that is sure to have all of Washington talking. The Race is more than just a political based murder mystery; it is also the story of the racism that divides us and the DNA that makes us one. Hidden inside the pages of this political thriller is a separate story that shows how racism stops us from seeing the obvious, even when it is right before our very eyes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the eighteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, countless African Americans passed as white, leaving behind families and friends, roots and community. It was, as Allyson Hobbs writes, a chosen exile, a separation from one racial identity and the leap into another. This revelatory history of passing explores the possibilities and challenges that racial indeterminacy presented to men and women living in a country obsessed with racial distinctions. It also tells a tale of loss. As racial relations in America have evolved so has the significance of passing. To pass as white in the antebellum South was to escape the shackles of slavery. After emancipation, many African Americans came to regard passing as a form of betrayal, a selling of one’s birthright. When the initially hopeful period of Reconstruction proved short-lived, passing became an opportunity to defy Jim Crow and strike out on one’s own. Although black Americans who adopted white identities reaped benefits of expanded opportunity and mobility, Hobbs helps us to recognize and understand the grief, loneliness, and isolation that accompanied—and often outweighed—these rewards. By the dawning of the civil rights era, more and more racially mixed Americans felt the loss of kin and community was too much to bear, that it was time to “pass out” and embrace a black identity. Although recent decades have witnessed an increasingly multiracial society and a growing acceptance of hybridity, the problem of race and identity remains at the center of public debate and emotionally fraught personal decisions.
