In this second novel, Draper weaves in characters from Tears--most significantly Gerald Nickleby, a young basketball player who discovers his innate strength and determination while protecting his stepsister’s safety an

Although frequently overlooked between the American Revolution and the Civil War, the War of 1812 tested a rising generation of American leaders; unified the United States with a renewed sense of national purpose; and set the stage for westward expansion from Mackinac Island to the Gulf of Mexico. USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides," proved the mettle of the fledgling American navy; Oliver Hazard Perry hoisted a flag boasting, "Don’t Give Up the Ship"; and Andrew Jackson’s ragged force stood behind it’s cotton bales at New Orleans and bested the pride of British regulars.

In Forged in War: Roosevelt, Churchill, and the Second World War, Warren F. Kimball studies the two men as both historic figures and products of the historical moment they occupied. He analyzes the philosophy behind the diplomacy and conveys the urgency and fragility of wartime leadership. Roosevelt and Churchill certainly respected and relied on one another, but they also locked horns over strategy and postwar objectives, each working to win the war as he positioned his own nation for the power shift that would inevitably follow the fighting. The two leaders’ relationship also pivoted a

African American spirituality was forged in the fiery furnace of slavery, segregation, and ongoing racial discrimination in both church and society. But African Americans are a people who are strengthened rather than weakened by their experience. This volume traces how African Americans have articulated their faith and love of God in language, song, and daily living. Beginning with its spiritual roots in Africa, Hayes shows how African American spirituality encompassed and incorporated the experience of slavery and the encounter with Christianity. Remarkably, African American slaves were able
