Book excerpt: Every family has a story and each story is a history to be passed on to those who follow. Sometimes a family surviving and thriving rests on decisive action or just plain luck during critical events. This true story shares the challenges of a young African American family as they are forced to become participants in the Great Migration of Black folks out the South in the early 1950s. In this, his first book, the author narrates his family's journey north and ultimately settling in Iowa. Accompanying the book narration are 17 paintings by the author. The colorful paintings, in primitive folk art style, convey a warmth that invites one into situations that can be unsettling, but true to the lived experience of many families. This book will inspire the reader to do their own research and document their family's history and unique stories for current and future generations and not allow them to be lost in time.

Book excerpt: The latest novel from Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. An angry and self-loathing veteran of the Korean War, Frank Money finds himself back in racist America after enduring trauma on the front lines that left him with more than just physical scars. His home--and himself in it--may no longer be as he remembers it, but Frank is shocked out of his crippling apathy by the need to rescue his medically abused younger sister and take her back to the small Georgia town they come from, which he's hated all his life. As Frank revisits the memories from childhood and the war that leave him questioning his sense of self, he discovers a profound courage he thought he could never possess again. A deeply moving novel about an apparently defeated man finding himself--and his home.
