Anthony Brandt once wrote, “Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family.” When it comes to Allen Blackwood, this quote rings painfully true. Allen has always been intrigued at the thought of discovering his family history. With no help from his mother - who never seems open to discuss her family back in Mississippi - Allen is able to pick up snippets of information over the years. Oddly, a strange secrecy surrounds a lot of his southern relatives – this is especially so when it come to the mysterious Uncle Otis. Allen yearns to seek the truth, but never can find the time to go for a visit until, down on his luck, he decides to give up on his hand-to-mouth lifestyle in Virginia and sets out for Mississippi. With the hope of starting new and the chance to shine some light on the timeworn family mysteries; Allen sets out for Mississippi. In Mississippi, State Police Detective, Lashauna Trudeau, is working the double homicide of an elderly couple. Being a woman of color in the Deep South is a difficult obstacle to overcome by itself, but being a woman of color with a badge is a near impossible task for the average. Trudeau is anything but average. She succeeds with her sharp wit and a tenacious investigative style and her bulldog mentality soon puts her on the trail of a reclusive family with a long history of lawlessness. Diving deep into a nasty world full of drugs and bad men, Trudeau will stop at nothing to bring the murderer to justice. Allen’s quest to reunite with his relatives proves to be more than he bargained for and his pursuit of learning the family history puts himself, and others in danger. As Allen begins to uncover the truth behind his family, he sinks deeper into a dangerous world. Detective Trudeau must find a way to identify the killer, and save Allen before he disappears completely - into the dark waters of the Whiskey Bayou.

A Treasure Hunt With Otis introduces an optimistic approach to some of the weightier philosophical thoughts about life. In every place, with every experience, there are lessons that can be found and applied in order to gain insight and wisdom. Otis will accompany you through five journeys that speak to five different concepts a person encounters along the way during the journey called life. His wisdom is acquired from a compilation of many diverse thoughts, feelings, and experiences from people he met along the way. Some of the wisdom he acquired came to him through their writings, and some through his own interactions and personal dealings with them. Either way, Otis is happy to share what he has learned in the hopes that he will leave his mark on a better world.

The problem is that there are more portrayals of the way other people see African American women than the ways we see ourselves. The narrative voice of African American women is largely disregarded, unfamiliar, and stifled. This collection of fiction and creative non-fiction as prayers, poems, short stories, rants, recollections, fantasies, aspirations, divulgences of secrets, accounts of omitted truths, and interpretations of witnessed miracles is meant to add Nancy Lynne Westfield's voice to the stories about African American women by African American women. She offers her stories, and the stories of her family, real and imagined, so African American women are better understood as being creative, multi-dimensional, whole, rounded, complicated, edgy, non-monolithic, and ordinary. These stories, written from three decades of womanist ethnographic research, are meant to persuade that Black women's experience matters to the flourishing of all humanity, and most especially matters to the persistence of African American women, and men and our children--all the kinds of families. These stories provide glimpses of Westfield's understanding of Blackness, anti-Blackness, womanhood, misogyny, and enfleshment. These stories expand what is known about the ways we build, love, suffer, teach, heal, enjoy our friends, make meaning out of our circumstances, and survive. They offer a glimpse of our collective wisdom.

This comic third novel in our Berry Fleming series centers on Lucinda, a local girl-makes-good, who returns on her psychoanalyst’s suggestion to Fredricksville, Georgia, in order to “find herself.” A successful author and playwright in New York City, she poses a distinct problem for the residents of The Homestead—a large, communal home left to any member of the Telfair family who wishes to stay—since all of the characters in her novels and plays are based upon her relatives’ antics. And the members of the Telfair clan, for their part, prefer to keep their private comings and goings out of the public eye. Hustlers, hoteliers, swindlers and drunkards, bankers and bank robbers, madams and prostitutes, northern aristocrats and southern gentry, and plain old-fashioned working people are all in Lucinderella, enlivened by the deliciously satirical eye of one of the South’s most extraordinary novelists.

Without question, some of the situations I'd gotten myself in don't paint a pretty picture of the Laura Bradley-Hutchins that I used to be. But today, I'm a different person. Besides, whatever I did in my past doesn't make me any worse than anybody else. Show me a perfect person in this messed-up world? Some might say that I deserted my kids, but I say I only did what I thought was best for them at the time. Label my decision how you see fit, but at least, I didn't hurt my children or kill them like some stressed out mothers have done who don't feel that they have a place to go for help. I knew for certain that I couldn't go to Alex's parents and tell them the truth about what was happening in what appeared to be our 'perfect" household. You see, the real deal was, Alex's parents thought he could do no wrong. He was the only college-educated child they had, and he was filthy rich by their estimation. His parents weren't going to turn on him and support me, since Alex moved them from the most dangerous projects in Atlanta.
