The Davenports are one of the few Black families of immense wealth and status in a changing United States, their fortune made through the entrepreneurship of William Davenport, a formerly enslaved man who founded the Davenport Carriage Company years ago. Now it's 1910, and the Davenports live surrounded by servants, crystal chandeliers, and endless parties, finding their way and finding love—even where they’re not supposed to.

Such a well told journey through history. Well researched fiction. I couldn’t stop listening. I was on edge excited by the web of love interests and compelling storyline. It was a great homage to the true history of black excellence.

Critics have compared her work to that of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, but J. California Cooper has a warm, witty style that’s definitely her own. Each of her short stories is a gem of downhome wisdom, polished with a bit of gossip, some heartbreak, and lots of humor.

Jada Pinkett Smith was living what many would view as a fairy-tale of Hollywood success. But appearances can be deceiving, and as she felt more and more separated from her sense of self, emotional turmoil took hold. Sparing no detail, Worthy chronicles her life.

Compelling Healing Journey
Revisado: 11-21-23
I appreciated the vulnerability Jada shares as she navigated a life that few could fathom or remotely relate to. However her human experience of depression, complicated families, poverty & losing loved ones to addiction was universal. She is a brave woman who has an amazing story to tell. May she be continually blessed and protected.

Ruby Dee was an incredible narrator! She brought the characters alive and highlighted how brilliant of a writer Zora Neal Hurston was. The poetic beauty of language and hearing the wit and wisdom of the “simple folks”evoked so much pride and appreciation for me as I listened in rapt.

In this hilarious southern folktale, mean old Boss Lion threatens the peaceful folk of Brer Village, and Brer Rabbit is forced to teach the carnivorous trouble-maker a lesson he'll never forget. Brer Rabbit outsmarts the baddest fella in the forest, then saunters back to town as the local hero. Actor Danny Glover narrates this witty, playful adaptation, perfectly complemented by gritty bayou blues by Dr. John. It is just the kind of fun your family will enjoy again and again.

In my book, you will meet a little girl named Viola who ran from her past until she made a life-changing decision to stop running forever. This is my story, from a crumbling apartment in Central Falls, Rhode Island, to the stage in New York City, and beyond. This is the path I took to finding my purpose but also my voice in a world that didn’t always see me.

Viola Davis has revealed the masterpiece of her life. It is deeply personal, yet relevant to our human experience . It is a story of pain compassion and a depth of self recognition like no other. She spoke the ugly truths about the world, about Hollywood, about living in a society that does not value us. As a black woman this is a golden book of love, being seen , and gaining wisdom! Thank you.
