The Baby Boom Prophet


Book Description

A memoir, an analysis, a warning, or all three in one? From the Cold War to the War on Terror, author B. J. Winley examines America's cultural and political structures in light of the monumental global changes occurring in the new millennium. This thought-provoking treatise takes you on a unique voyage through the annals of time from the perspective of an African American sinner-turned-saint as he seeks to understand and explain both his and his country's evolution. The baby boom generation has emerged divided through these critical times. Controversy and contention have weakened our moral resolve, and our collective spiritual development remains retarded. Will our nation tear itself apart in disagreement over abortion, immigration, and questions of national security? What about our stance on the death penalty or references to God in the public domain? The Baby Boom Prophet: Addressing Our Conflicted Generation challenges America's apathy and its divisiveness, pointing out the perils to our survival not only from diabolical elements outside our borders, but from the insidious distrust engendered within them. The door to restoration and healing lies open to our nation-but will America heed God's call to repentance?

If I can convince him forever is a promise worth making, is it too much to hope that the woman he vows to cherish will be me? Your lovelorn goddaughter, Princess Meredith

The Unfit Heiress


Book Description

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF 2021 BY THE NEW YORK POST AND BOOK RIOT NAMED A BEST TRUE CRIME BOOK OF 2021 BY CRIMEREADS For readers of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and The Phantom of Fifth Avenue, "a sensational story told with nuance and humanity" (Susannah Cahalan, #1 New York Times bestselling author) about the sordid court battle between Ann Cooper Hewitt and her socialite mother. At the turn of the twentieth century, emboldened American women began to seek passion and livelihood outside the home. This alarmed authorities, who feared "over-sexed" women could destroy civilization, either by crossing the color line or passing their evident defects on to their children. Set against this backdrop, The Unfit Heiress chronicles the fight for inheritance between Ann Cooper Hewitt and her socialite mother Maryon, who had her daughter sterilized without her knowledge. A sensational court case ensued, and powerful eugenicists saw an opportunity to restrict reproductive rights in America for decades to come. This riveting story unfolds through the brilliant research of Audrey Clare Farley, who captures the interior lives of these women on the pages and poses questions that remain relevant today: What does it mean to be "unfit" for motherhood? How do racial anxieties continue to influence who does and does not reproduce? In the battle for reproductive rights, can we forgive those who side against us? And can we forgive our mothers if they are the ones who inflict the deepest wounds?
