As a teen, Anna Creed discovers she can time travel; a trick she uses to 'jump' from one place to another with no apparent passage of time. All she needs are two wheels, speed and nerves of steel. Now eight years later she's alone and pregnant when her secret power takes control to save her life. Injured and confused, Anna finds herself in the arms of Paul Richards, her summer lover and the father of her child. But Paul has secrets of his own. He's the head of an old conflict weary family and has been Anna's past life lover time and time again, something only he remembers. Things come apart for Anna when she starts 'jumping' in her sleep. Both Anna and her sister are in mortal danger from Paul's uncle Damian and a ghost from her past life is driving her to murder. As Anna and Paul's fledgling relationship unravels, she takes the final and unforgivable step of attacking him and leaving him behind. From Northern California to the rainforests of British Columbia, Anna gets closer to the truth about Paul's family and the realization that saving Paul and her unborn child may ultimately cost her life.
For the white man it is almost impossible to comprehend what it took to lift the black man from the state of brutal slavery to his rightful place in society. Indeed, we are still grappling with that problem today. Starting from scratch has new meaning when you look at the beginnings of Booker T. Washington and Emmanuel and Tinny McDuffie, the founders of the Laurinburg Normal and Industrial Institute in 1904. How far they came has to be measured against where they began. Emmanuel McDuffie, the son of "none," became the symbolic father of many. He did not flee to the relative safety of the North after the war; rather, he plunged deeper into the deeply divided and often dangerous South. He was determined to build a place where himself, his family, and his race could stand and thrive. This 119-year history of the oldest private black prep school in the United States comes alive through extensive interviews and records now uncovered for the first time. Accounts of Jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie and NBA Hall of Famers Sam Jones and Charlie Scott, among many distinguished graduates and faculty members, paint a vivid picture. Ranked sixth nationwide among high schools in producing the most NBA players, Laurinburg Institute also sent over 60 players to Division I college basketball teams all across the county. At least 50,000 students built a new world based on the firm foundation of Laurinburg Institute and four generations of the McDuffie family.

Reinterpreting the Haitian Revolution and Its Cultural Aftershocks

Haiti, its revolution and its culture remain largely unknown or misunderstood in the English-speaking world. This collection of essays seeks to both elucidate aspects of Haitian history and culture and provoke interest in readers and scholars for further research in these fields. Several general guiding questions connect the essays: What were, what are the cultural repercussions of Haiti's revolution, in Haiti and elsewhere? What is the truth of Haiti, its history, its intellectual traditions, its culture? What role has culture played in shaping Haiti's history, and conversely, how has Haiti's history determined, inspired, liberated and restricted Haitian culture and thought? In a land that has constantly relived its past, how can we imagine a Haitian future? Can we rethink history and memory? Can an understanding of post-independence culture and thought point tentatively to a way out of the traps of the past, without effecting a counterproductive forgetting of the revolution? Framed by two essays by Rene Depestre, the chapters offer diverse approaches to these questions: the history of Haitian revolutionary universalism; the idea of the Caribbean's historical lack and its application to Haiti; the relationship between personal and political revolutions in Yanick Lahens's fiction; the attempt to write personal history in Edwidge Danticat's work; the role of Haiti and the revolution in forming ideas of "race"; the importance of the nineteenth-century Haitian intellectual Antenor Firmin in the development of the discipline of anthropology; the influence of St. Domingue refugees in the genesis of New Orleans jazz; the prevalence of the "Haytian Fear" narrative in nineteenth-century Trinidad; and the many and diverse post-independence representations of Toussaint Louverture. This book will be of interest to students and readers of Haitian literature, history and culture, as well as those interested in broader Caribbean studies, postcolonial studies and African-American studies.
When Father Henry McGrath hears a confession that sends a cold chill throughout his body, he's unsure what to do. To divulge the private confession would violate holy canon law. When he refuses to go to the police, people begin to die, and the priest becomes the prime suspect. Elizabeth Monroe, a college professor who teaches forensic psychology, doesn't believe the elder priest fits the killer's profile. Elizabeth discovers a frightening thread woven within each killing-a thread that began thirty years ago. To stop the murders, she has to find where the seed of evil was first planted. Because the roots are penetrating deep within a small Mississippi town and they're spreading dangerously close to Elizabeth.
