Glorious by Bernice McFadden
Glorious is set against the backdrops of the Jim Crow
South, the Harlem Renaissance, and the civil rights era. Blending the truth of
American history with the fruits of Bernice L. McFadden’s rich imagination, this
is the story of Easter Venetta Bartlett, a fictional Harlem Renaissance writer
whose tumultuous path to success, ruin, and revival offers a candid portrait of
the American experience in all its beauty and cruelty.
Glorious is ultimately an audacious
exploration into the nature of self-hatred, love, possession, ego,
betrayal, and, finally, redemption.
The Other Wes Moore by Wes Moore
Two kids with the same name lived in the same decaying
city. One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House
Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison.
Here is the story of two boys and the journey of a generation.
