A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan's rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them.

The Roaring Twenties--the Jazz Age--has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson.

Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he’d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows – their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman – Madge Oberholtzer – who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees.

A FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND marries a propulsive drama to a powerful and page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history.

Are fears and uncertainties keeping you from reaching for your dreams? In Take Your Seat at the Table, bestselling author Anthony O'Neal reveals the indispensable tools and strategies to take ownership of your decisions and step into the life God wants you to live.

The table has always been the spiritual, emotional, and relational center of a life well-lived. It's where the real work of life--from the mundane to the magnificent--is dreamed up, planned out, prayed over, accomplished, and celebrated. And the metaphor of the table is critical throughout Scripture.

Yet most people aren't intentional about taking a seat at the table of their own lives--let alone prioritizing the important things that happen around the tables in their homes, at work, and beyond.

Utilizing his trademark humor, compelling stories, and lessons from his life, including both his successes and failures, Anthony O'Neal helps readers

>become empowered to make the best financial, career, health,
emotional, and relational decisions;
>identify the keys to foster strong relationships with friends and
family, build a "work tribe that will help you achieve your goals,
and develop a vision for thriving in every phase of life; and
>discover an eternal quality of life filled with meaning, true
abundance (including financial freedom), and joy.

Just about every significant decision, conversation, prayer, celebration, affirmation, or critical decision takes place around the table--are you ready to take a seat at the head of your own table?

After barely surviving their freshman year at NC A&T, the girls have to make it through the summer.

Just before spring break, Hope learns that she’s pregnant, but now she’s unsure of exactly what to do.

She even makes notable strides in putting the puzzle pieces of her life back together, but will it all be too late? Will it even be enough to change her selfish, gold-digging ways? Find out in the finale of Heartbreak U.

It’s War of the Worlds in the New York hoods.

Nasir returns home two years later after the death of Denise. This time, he comes back to Queens with a crew and vengeance. He’s in a new relationship with Sunday, a beautiful but ruthless and ambitious bitch who’s ready to become the next Griselda Blanco in New York City. Along with her psychotic little brother, Sheek, the trio becomes a force to be reckoned with.

Nasir’s beef with Sincere has been put on hold. Sincere is too busy dealing with his own hitches in Elmira Correctional Facility. Sincere barely survives a hit placed on him by an unknown force. New rivals are coming into play, one being Rondell—an OG with robust backing. Sincere creates a prison gang, KOS (Kings of Society), inside the state prison, and they’re becoming a booming threat in and out of the prison.

Meanwhile, Zodiac is in Ghana, Africa, conducting the biggest drug deal in his life—to become a top distributor. With this deal, he’ll become one of the biggest heavyweights in the game. However, he and Trina are attacked during his trip to Africa. And with the news of Zulu’s death in federal prison, Zodiac is on high alert.

Who’s behind these sudden attacks? There’s a greater force and entity than Zodiac, Sincere, and Nasir combined. His name is Ezekial, one of the founding members of a domineering and powerful international organization called The Outfit.

Ezekial’s thirst for revenge for the death of his sons, Drip-Drip and Rafe, creates a civil war within The Outfit, and the streets of New York break out in bloodshed and war.

Offering “a vibrant picture of the roles Black and mixed-race people played in Regency life” (Publishers Weekly), this unique historical mystery series, featuring a mixed-race heroine with a notorious past, will appeal to Bridgerton fans who want a sharper edge to their drama.

A marriage of convenience saved Lady Abigail Worthing’s family from disgrace, but she’s finding her absent husband's endless conditions increasingly repressive. Unable to stay at their London home during the oncoming winter, she accepts a ride to the country from her neighbor, Stapleton Henderson. However, she's less than delighted that she’s his excuse to avoid a dinner held by Lord Charles Duncan, one of London's most powerful—and relentless—magistrates. More irritating, women are decidedly unwelcome at the evening’s prestigious discussion of criminality—even though Abigail and Stapleton have solved several cases together . . .

Then an unexpected blizzard strands them at Lord Duncan’s with his now-houseguests. Suddenly, an evening of fine dining, fine brandy, and insightful debate becomes an inescapable—and deadly—ordeal. The ultimate test for Abigial’s skill. One of the dinner guests is found dead in front of the Berkley Square mansion. And when another party is murdered, Abigail discovers each had received a taunting, prophetic nursery rhyme . . . coincidence, or clues left by a killer on the loose?

Through deft interrogation, she learns everyone present is connected to Lord Duncan's greatest failure in the courts: the conviction of a Martinique plantation informant for a murder he didn’t commit. But as Abigail races to find who was really responsible for the miscarriage of justice, she'll be forced to put her own and Stapleton's lives at risk in a gambit that will alter their fates forever—or end them permanently.

Desire to Serve is the autobiography of Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (1934–2023), a thirty-year member of the United States House of Representatives, in her words as told to Cheryl Brown Wattley. It chronicles Johnson growing up in segregated Waco, Texas; attending St. Mary’s nursing school in South Bend, Indiana; working at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dallas, Texas, as a chief psychiatric nurse; serving in the Texas House; being appointed as the regional director for Health, Education, and Welfare; being elected as a Texas state senator; and serving thirty years as a congressional representative from North Texas. For each of these positions, she was either the first African American or first African American woman to hold the position.

Johnson’s narrative of the duties and responsibilities of elected officials gives an insider’s view of the way government works—or doesn’t work. Highlights of Johnson’s political career include her support of NAFTA and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act; the failure of the Health Security Act; her support of the Patient Recovery and Affordable Care Act, as well as the CHIPS-Science Act; her service as the chairwoman of the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology; and her membership on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

A moving, politically-charged memoir of surviving trauma and the power of activism from MSNBC legal analyst, professor, civil rights lawyer and former New York City Mayoral candidate Maya Wiley.

Born in a country that has repeatedly traumatized her and her loved ones, Maya Wiley grew up in a household that prioritized activism, hope, and resilience above all else. This attitude landed her father on President Nixon’s enemies list as her mother organized third-party political platforms. Still, they modeled hope for their children. In the decades since, she has borne witness as presidents and political figures used racism and fascism to gain power, and as cities have again and again elected white men, effectively shutting out people of color and women from having a political voice. As a result, she has been forced, time after time, to confront death, injustice, and indifference—just as her Civil Rights activist parents did before her.

After a mayoral race that further exposed our country’s deep divisions, Maya is ready to share her story and that of her parents: one of passion, possibility, and compassion in the face of fear and injustice. She takes readers through her unconventional upbringing, her father George Wiley‘s tragic death and the resulting trauma, as well as how her experiences spoke to racial, gender, and class identity. Against this painful backdrop, Maya charts her journey of coming into herself and finding hope in a dire political landscape. She also digs into how her previous struggles informed her platform, driving her to represent those who have similarly felt voiceless or ignored. In facing and sharing her own past, Maya shows readers how they too can remain optimistic in the face of adversity.
