Fada Tom felt every black man was malleable, until he met Agu, a defiant young man, who stood for what he believed. Agu had refused baptism during the Easter vigil mass, because the white missionary priest had wanted to impose a foreign name on him. Everyone thought he was going to pay dearly for disrespecting a white man, but contrary to every expectation, he was rewarded for his courage. Fada Tom gave him scholarship to study in the United Kingdom. For some people, it was a blessing, while for many others a curse, but for Agu, it was an opportunity to prepare himself for the emancipation of his people, from the colonial masters who imposed a leadership of a 'warrant chief' on his people, from the rearing head of slavery, and from the ravaging of their cherished culture. Agu later returned from his sojourn to discover the wreckage state of Umudim, his clan. He quickly lunched a revolution which was cut short by a cardiac arrest. Little had he spoken in the gathering of the clan which he invested so much to convene, than he slumped on the village green.

The time period is 1938 in a Southern port city. Joseph Curcio, an ex-alcoholic and former teacher is now homeless and unmotivated. He meets Amanda who was once his pupil. She is a street artist who sells mosaics made of broken glass, and she allows him to share the abandoned fisherman's cabin where she lives. Joseph begins to find strength in their platonic friendship and resolves to resurrect his career by writing an autobiographical journal through which he hopes to confront and understand his failures, his youthful idealism, and past relationships with his immigrant father and the woman he loved. Life imitates art just as his resembles the broken pieces of glass in Amanda's mosaics, Joseph attempts to put the pieces of his life back together to make him whole again. As his understanding and his affection for Amanda grow the character flaws that caused his original undoing also re-emerge. A man on the verge of redemption reaches the crossroads where violence and death intervene.

Dancing with Broken Bones provides a chilling portrait of what it is like to die while living in urban poverty. Via interviews with patients and their families as well as powerful photographs, the author demonstrates that a complex array of factors shape the experience of dying poor in the inner city: mistrust of physicians; inadequate communication among providers, patients, and families; a sense of alienation within the bureaucratic maze of the public hospital system; and indignities in care. By demystifying the stereotypes surrounding poverty, the book illuminates how faith and an unassailable spirit provide strength and courage throughout the end of life experience. Dancing with Broken Bones is a rallying call for compassionate individuals everywhere to understand and respond to the needs of the especially vulnerable people who comprise the world of inner-city dying poor.

This This book is about the bravery and courage of a nine year old little boy name Jay Jay. One day, Jay Jay was waiting for his dad to finish feeding his little brother Jordan. This was to be a special day for him, because Jay Jay's dad had promised that the two of them would spend the day together. As Jay Jay waited for his dad, he started to play with his exercise ball. Jay Jay loved playing with his ball. In the family room was a large picture frame propped up against the wall for the family portrait. However, Jay Jay did not see the frame. Jay Jay jumped on his ball and began to roll, right into the glass picture frame. Bang! The sound could be heard throughout the house. Jay Jay's mother and father came running to see what had happened. And so does his little brother Jordan. There they found Jay Jay with a cut wrist, and a broken picture frame. Jay Jay remained calm. And although his injury was very painful, Jay Jay never shed a tear. Jay Jay knew that he had to be brave because Jordan his little brother was watching. After all, he was the big brother and he could not allow Jordan see him cry. This is an excellent book for children who have been injured or are fearful of doctors and hospitals. They will love it!

Portrait sculptures are among the most vibrant records of ancient Greek and Roman culture. They represent people of all ages and social strata: revered poets and philosophers, emperors and their family members, military heroes, local dignitaries, ordinary citizens, and young children. The Met's distinguished collection of Greek and Roman portraits in stone and bronze is published in its entirety for the first time in this volume. Paul Zanker, a leading authority on Roman sculpture today, has brought his exceptional knowledge to the study of these portraits; in presenting them, he brings the ancient world to life for contemporary audiences. Each work is lavishly illustrated, meticulously described, and placed in its historical and cultural context. The lives and achievement of significant figures are discussed in the framework of the political, social, and practical circumstances that influenced their portrait's forms and styles—from the unvarnished realism of the late Republican period to the idealizing and progressively abstract tendencies that followed. Analyses of marble portraits recarved into new likenesses after their original subjects were forgotten or officially repudiated provide especially compelling insights. Observations on fashions in hairstyling, which typically originated with the Imperial family and spread as fast as the rulers' latest portraits could be distributed, not only edify and amuse but also link the Romans' motives and appetite for imitation to our own. More than a collection catalogue, Roman Portraits is a thorough and multifaceted survey of ancient portraiture. Charting the evolution of this art from its origins in ancient Greece, it renews our appreciation of an connection to these imposing, timeless works.
