Cappy Hall Rearick writes with warm love and humor about her life and the people in it. Her previous books, Simply Southern and Simply Christmas, have delighted readers all over North America. You will feel the spirit of the South as you mosey down her uncommon ground with husband Babe, their overweight dog, Tallulah Blankhead, and their sad cat, Sophie Sorrowful. Cappy Hall Rearick is the new voice of the South. Not Simple at all! "There is nothing 'simply' or even 'southern' about Cappy Rearick's insightful prose. Hers is a language that transcends geographic boundaries and literary genres. Rearick is a writer for those who seek a glimpse into the core of human emotion, be they Bostonian, Atlantan or those who live somewhere between." -Anna Cheshire Levitan, Executive Editor, Boston Common Magazine Such tongue in cheek, such wit! "I followed a link to Cappy's website and read one of her columns. Well, let me tell you, I laughed all the way through. I don't remember the last time I stopped what I was doing to email the writer." -Author Dorothy Thompson Flavor in words! "When Cappy Rearick writes, she lays the flavor of the South down on paper with witty realism. She offers a great insight into the mind of a Southern female with honesty and laughs to spare. Her column has become one of the most popular pieces in the Senior Sun newspaper!" - Torrey Monroe, Publisher and Editor, Senior Sun.

Cotton textile industries vanished from much of East Africa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This book investigates the underlying causes of industrial arrest in the region through a series of in-depth case studies. Findings are considered in light of existing studies on comparatively more resilient textile centers elsewhere on the continent to derive insights into the determinants of differing industrial trajectories across sub-Saharan Africa. The author argues that scholars have placed undue weight on global forces as the primary drivers of industrial decline in the Global South. Rather, this book reveals how local factors – principally demographic, geographic, and institutional features – interacted with external forces to influence unique regional outcomes during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as sub-Saharan African was increasingly integrated into global trade networks and European colonial empires.

The world has just been informed that after over 50 years of bitter strife, the two Koreas will finally reunite. Immigration Special Agent Janine Rosino is investigating a marriage fraud scheme wherein US soldiers in South Korea are bribed to marry South Korean females so that the latter will obtain lawful permanent residence in America. Atlantic City, NJ grocery store owner Kim Jol Soon lives a double life-one as a quiet, law-abiding, and hard-working immigrant, the other as a North Korean operative seeking to save his countrymen from starvation. He is secretly overjoyed at the prospect of reunification. Meanwhile, his "wife," Yool Ah, also an operative, does not take well to the plans of reunification and devises a plot to disrupt a ceremony in Washington. During the marriage fraud investigation, Janine's path crosses with Kim's. They fall for each other amid Yool Ah's vicious plot to assassinate the presidents of both Koreas.
