Black activist Erica Johnson wears her causes on her sleeve—literally. With her class of beloved fourth graders depending on her to represent their concerns, Erica's ready to confront golden-boy conservative senator Mark Newman. And she's willing to suffer through a night in jail and a battle of wits with a real-life war hero, if it will help get the children the money they need.
 
 
Mark Newman's a worthy adversary. But there's a more human side to the ambitious politician with the dreamy blue eyes—from the physical pain of his war wound, to his grief over his wife's death. Though they disagree on every hot-button issue, Erica and Mark can't resist their attraction or ignore the unfinished business between them—much to the delight of those trying to use this new relationship against the senator. And when Erica starts receiving some particularly vicious hate mail she has to decide if this handsome dream from the right/wrong side of the political fence is worth risking her heart for . . . and maybe her life.

Dark Karma
May 29, 2007

The Law of Karma teaches that responsibility for unpleasant actions is born by the person who commits them.
 
The criminal…it is amazing how the criminal detaches him/her self from the criminal act as if they were not part of it, yet they bear full responsibility for it. They can stand in the crowd and watch the investigation and think what a terrible thing to happen. The criminal rarely sees the impact to families and friends when they perform their awful act. Some acts are heinous and forces one to delve into social and psychological barriers that could cause a person to step over the edge. Some crimes are simply malicious and evil. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
 
What if the criminal was forced to live the horror that they caused? The drug dealer finds himself in the body of the drug addict and he suffers through the withdrawals, living on the street, the beatings, the raping and the hunger. The thief steals the rent money and becomes the victim that finds herself living on the street and running for her life and the murderer becomes the victim's father and he deals with the death of a son and a grieving mother.
 
There's no escape. They can't find their way back to their real lives except by way of Redemption. They must find Redemption or lose their souls.

In Bettye Griffin’s If These Walls Could Talk, three very different families share the same dream: moving out of New York City and into a house—and a life—of their own…
 
Reuben and Camille have always been afraid to send their children outside to play in their rough Bronx neighborhood. So when they see a television ad for homes in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, they jump at the chance. Spirits are high as the family’s new life moves forward, but all is brought to a screeching halt when Reuben loses his job.
 
No one in either Milo or Dawn’s Brooklyn-based family has ever owned a house, and the Poconos seem perfect. Plus if they put a deposit down today, they can get a free deck and a fireplace. But after they move in, it starts to look like their house was slapped together like a ham sandwich and doesn’t seem to be much stronger.

Norman and Veronica are happy to leave Washington Heights for a place in the country...and so are their relatives. Each weekend brings a parade of empty-handed guests expecting to be fed but not expecting to pitch in and help.

 

Now as three families embark on a journey filled with both triumphs and tribulations, they’re about to discover that not all is perfect when your dreams come true…

This brother is the type that every woman has dealt with at some low point in her life. Luckily she's been blessed to have been able to stuff him in her past. Unfortunately, some are still stuck with this type of brother and are scratching, fighting and praying for the strength to get rid of him and the sooner the better! When an arrogrant Beemer is introduced to the finer things in life (thanks to Lite and the family business), he is convinced he is and will always remain on top of the world. Caught up in a world of fast money and even faster women, Beemer's foundation is knocked to the ground by one woman's revenge and another woman's greed. You will become easily entangled in a web riddled with passion filled lies and plenty of decite, as a voyer in the lives of three childhood friends, at times co-defendants and lastly lovers. Get ready for the ride of your life, as you sit back and witness the Death of a Hustler!
