From the acclaimed author of The Kindest Lie, a propulsive novel about a mother and daughter each seeking justice and following their dreams during moments of social reckoning--1960s Nashville and 1992 Chicago--perfect for readers of Brit Bennett and Tayari Jones.Two women. Two pivotal moments. One dream for justice and equality.It's 1959, and Freda Gilroy has just arrived at Nashville's Fisk University, eager to begin her studies and uphold the tradition of Black Excellence instilled in her by her parents back home in Chicago. Coming from an upper-middle-class lifestyle where Black and white people lived together in relative harmony, Freda is surprised to discover the menace of racism down South. When a chance encounter with an intriguing young man draws her into the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement, Freda finds herself caught between two worlds, and two loves, and must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice in the name of justice, equality, and the advancement of her people.In 1992 Chicago, Freda's daughter Tulip is an ambitious PR professional on track for a big promotion, if workplace politics and racial microaggressions don't get in her way. With the ruling in the Rodney King trial weighing heavily on her, Tulip feels increasingly agitated and decides she can no longer stay quiet. Called to action by a series of glaring injustices, Tulip makes an irreversible professional misstep as she seeks to uplift her community. Will she find the courage to veer off the "safe" path and follow her heart, just as her mother had three decades prior?Insightful, evocative, and richly imagined with stories of hidden history, People of Means is an emotional tour de force that offers a glimpse into the quest for racial equality, the pursuit of personal and communal success, and the power of love and family ties.

There are seasons of our life when the sun shines the birds sing and joy fills our hearts. Then there are those days, weeks, months and sometimes years that feel absolutely impossible. Moments where we are shattered by things we're unable to control, gutted by loss. And we experience profound grief. On July 27, 2022, Paul and Nancy Johnson received a traumatizing diagnosis and a subsequent nine-day hospital stay that drastically changed the course of their future. Despair, depression and devastation came home with Nancy from that hospital, packed deep within her heart. As she tried to make room for those unwelcome guests, she began taking the grief and placing it in written word on paper trying to encourage it to leave her heart. Those impressions multiplied and filled the pages and were soon joined by memories of our Savior's comfort and peace. She first wrote for herself. She wrote from the depths of her sadness, through the piercing thorns of her fears trying to rid herself of the agonizing pain. As the grief flowed out, faith and hope found room again within her heart; and she wrote from the heights of joy. And then she wrote for others. In God is in our Grief, Nancy shares how the tender mercies of our Savior are over all of us, always. And how He has lovingly walked with her and cared for her through the depression, anxiety and grief she has experienced as a result of Paul's illness.

I love to write stories. For many years I have done this. I felt very blessed to have the parents that God gave me. Even though I was an only child, I was not spoiled. My parents taught me many things at an early age. They did this because they cared. They passed away early and I worked to be able to understand many things in life. I wanted this title, "Slide of Memories," like an old slide projector that can show pictures. A tribute to my parents!

The Story of the Spirit Pin is a tale about seeking perpetual peace on Earth to protect the most vulnerable population - the individual.
