Paperback. Condition: Fair. The chosen place is Bourneville, a remote, devastated part of a Caribbean isl∧ the timeless people are its inhabitants--black, poor, inextricably linked to their past enslavement.

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the acclaimed author of Daughters and Brown Girl, Brownstones comes a ?work of exceptional wisdom, maturity, and generosity, one in which the palpable humanity of its characters transcends any considerations of race or sex?(Washington Post Book World).  Avey Johnson?a black, middle-aged, middle-class widow given to hats, gloves, and pearls?has long since put behind her the Harlem of her childhood.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Poetry. This collection reimagines characters from mythology, folklore, fairy tales, and pop culture from the perspective of their daughters--daughters we don't expect such individuals to have, as we don't usually think of Bigfoot, the Mad Hatter, or Medusa as parents.
