In this illuminating biographical novel, Sherry Jones spans Josephine Baker's early years in servitude and poverty in America to her rise to fame as a showgirl in her famous banana skirt to her activism against discrimination, and her many loves and losses. From 1920s Paris to 1960s Washington to her final, triumphant performance, one of the most extraordinary lives of the 20th century comes to stunning life on the page. With intimate prose and comprehensive research, Sherry Jones brings Josephine Baker into focus for the first time in a joyous celebration of a life lived in technicolor.

What an amazing woman
Revisado: 03-23-22
Josephine Baker had an amazing life. She must have had the Divine watching over her even thought she endured such poverty and abuse as a child. I have to wonder how she managed to move forward, but she never gave up . This historical novel reveals her life and her dreams as a woman. Her story inspires me and gives me hope for humanity. We should all try to do something that improves the lives of others as Josephine Baker has done.

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Great introduction for anyone interested in learning about plants. There are wonderful references to historical events where seeds were major players in shaping the future. Filled with quotes by writers, philosophers and even religious books. Absolutely fascinating.

"I’m James Taylor and I’m a professional autobiographer", says the celebrated folk singer at the start of this tender audio memoir. Through decades of music by one of the best-selling musicians of all time, who created classics like "Fire and Rain" and "Carolina in My Mind", James Taylor has doled out his history in the poetry of his work. Taylor says his early life is, "the source of many of my songs", and Break Shot is a tour of his first 21 years in rich, new detail.

Takes me back
Revisado: 03-12-20
I really enjoyed this book. It brought back so many memories of my life growing up listening to James Taylor and learning how to play his songs from song books and records. Listening to his autobiography is an amazing journey. I want to thank him for sharing his life, which unfortunately was full of so much pain. His story is also one of hope. We can never know when a sad life can turn into a happy one. We all have to keep moving forward. I'm so glad he made it through the darkness and is still with us as we all forward on.

Responding to pressure from on high, the Atlanta Police Department is forced to hire its first black officers. It's a victory of sorts, though the newly minted policemen are met with deep hostility by their white peers, and their authority is limited: They can't arrest a suspect unless a white officer is present; they can't drive squad cars; they can't even enter the station through the front door.

Dark very dark
Revisado: 11-22-18
This is a well written work, showing a dark reality of American life past and present. It reveals the difficulty of being African American in a racist society and also the sad fact that White people who want to move forward and work toward equality are stuck walking a fine line as well. There is hope but it's covered in darkness. I can imagine this book being a really good movie.

Lots of characters to follow, many of them quite complicated which keeps it all very interesting. Nice twists and turns. The narration is good and easy to listen to. Anyone who knows New York City will enjoy the familiar scenery.

In The Half Has Never Been Told, historian Edward E. Baptist reveals the alarming extent to which slavery shaped our country politically, morally, and most of all, economically. Until the Civil War, our chief form of innovation was slavery. Through forced migration and torture, slave owners extracted continual increases in efficiency from their slaves, giving the country a virtual monopoly on the production of cotton, a key raw material of the Industrial Revolution.

Revisado: 07-17-18
For me, there was so much new information about the history of the USA revealed in this book.
After reading, I now look at all aspects of American life with different eyes. The writer does an amazing job of bringing the voices of the enslaved people to life. It's like they finally get to tell their side of the story. The book will certainly open your eyes to new truths.
Well researched and well put together. Happy to keep this book in my collection.
