Luke is hoping to get an English boy to write to, but instead he gets stuck with Elma, who would prefer an Irish girl as her penpal. Reluctantly, the two begin their correspondence. Life is not going well for either Luke or Elma, so they invent new, more glamorous lives for themselves in their letters, little realising how similar their true lives actually are. However, when things take a turn for the worse, Elma has no one to confide in except Luke. He offers some useful advice and in turn tells the truth about his life and family. Together they realise that things are beginning to look up....

Famous, rich. and glamorous. That’s Stefan Acker and Harley Kensington. More like the future Mr. and Mrs. Acker who are ready to race to the altar soon. Before the lives of Harley, an A-list actress, and Stefan, a leading athlete, became enviable and fancy, they were lovers-turned-exes. They were young and free high school students then. They meet again after a few years, but later on, bring a feud in the eyes of the showbiz industry. Surprisingly, the chaotic encounter caused them to flee from their own present relationships and decide to start over. It was never imagined, at all, that reconciliation was possible and love can be sweeter the second time around for both of them. It seems that the couple has everything they ever wanted at their fingertips. Who wouldn’t want life in the fast lane where everything is within reach? How about love? There’s temptation, probable grudges, and many fears, even, from the past that might just come with the life they chose. Keeping up with everything going on in their life, Harley and Stefan do their utmost to make the most out of their second chance behind the cameras and the papers. Will life really treat Harley and Stefan well? When a love story seems to be controversial and everything they’ve worked for with that ever so undying promise of love to fight all odds will come crashing down once more, is there still a guarantee that love can really be sweeter the another time around?

David Crittendon's historic blues novella, THEN SEE IF I CARE: A Story About Bessie Smith, makes you feel her yearning down to your bones. This is no low-down, foot-dragging dirge. With prose that rings true to African American idiom yet resounds with Crittendon's singular poetic voice, THEN SEE IF I CARE is by turns defiant, bawdy, mocking, starkly bitter, and jubilant, initiating us into an encounter with the woman behind the legend.

From one of this country's most important intellectuals comes a brilliant analysis of the blues tradition that examines the careers of three crucial black women blues singers through a feminist lens. Angela Davis provides the historical, social, and political contexts with which to reinterpret the performances and lyrics of Gertrude "Ma" Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday as powerful articulations of an alternative consciousness profoundly at odds with mainstream American culture. The works of Rainey, Smith, and Holiday have been largely misunderstood by critics. Overlooked, Davis shows, has been the way their candor and bravado laid the groundwork for an aesthetic that allowed for the celebration of social, moral, and sexual values outside the constraints imposed by middle-class respectability. Through meticulous transcriptions of all the extant lyrics of Rainey and Smith—published here in their entirety for the first time—Davis demonstrates how the roots of the blues extend beyond a musical tradition to serve as a conciousness-raising vehicle for American social memory. A stunning, indispensable contribution to American history, as boldly insightful as the women Davis praises, Blues Legacies and Black Feminism is a triumph.
