Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In the vein of The Personal Librarian and The House of Eve, a "remarkable and stirring novel" (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author) based on the inspiring true story of Virginia's Black Wall Street and the indomitable Maggie Lena Walker, the daughter of a formerly enslaved woman who became the first Black woman to establish and preside over a bank in the United States. Maggie Lena Walker was ambitious and unafraid. Her childhood in 19th-century Virginia helping her mother with her laundry service opened her eyes to the overwhelming discrepancy between the Black residents and her mother's affluent white clients. She vowed to not only secure the same kind of home and finery for herself, but she would also help others in her community achieve the same. With her single-minded determination, Maggie buckled down and went from schoolteacher to secretary-treasurer of the Independent Order of St. Luke, founder of a newspaper, a bank, and a department store where Black customers were treated with respect. With the help of influential friends like W.E.B. DuBois and Mary McLeod, she revolutionized Richmond in ways that are still felt today. Now, "with rich period detail and emotional impact" (Tracey Enerson Wood, author of The Engineer's Wife), her riveting full story is finally revealed in this stirring and intimate novel.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Ruth Watson really loves her food: 'I read about it, talk about it, write about it, shop for it and cook it - I even plan holidays around it'. The problem is that for Ruth - and countless others like her - food loves her just as much! Two years ago Ruth managed to lose more than four stone with her unique dieting philosophy that celebrates the sheer irresistibility of good food without sacrificing taste or pleasure. Her diet is based on calorie-counted recipes that are delicious to eat and easy to make, with all food groups allowed, indeed encouraged. Ruth's book includes over 100 recipes ranging from Lamb Chops and Garlic and Spinach Pilaf, to Seared Scallops and Black Tagiolini and Thai-Style mussels. This is food that you will love to eat but is a godsend for those who need to diet. An entire chapter is also devoted to the most common undoing for the dieter - emergency food and snacking. Ruth outlines an enticing array of tried and tested treats to get you through desperate moments without shattering your good work. While not dictating what you should or shouldn't eat, Ruth has managed to create a brilliant and sustainable diet for food lovers.…
