Books by splitShops More Than Mama Sees or Daddy Knows: An Autobiography and Creative Expression in Lessons of Wisdom - Hardcover
by Rhonda B. Haugabook (Author)I am still the girl from the neighborhood of people who kept the candle of hope burning brightly inside their hearts and, through love and patience, passed that light on to all of us youths. Elders refused to allow forced segregation to be the determinant for the quality of their life experiences because they knew the true Supplier of all riches. Holding their memories close within me, I joyfully resolve to continue to have pride in my ancestry and allow my life and art to reflect their Wisdom. Now the mature, virtuous woman of John Miles and Estella, I appreciate the patience and Wisdom shared by so many during the days of small steps. I am Nsaa; a living, breathing, bursting-with-love, genuine woman who understands and appreciates the rich, earthen soil of experience that has expanded my heart and authenticated my character. I daily adorn my psyche with my own self-made garment of silk and purple-a garment that holds me fast to my spirituality and maintains my uniqueness and originality. My attainment of the ideal is to completely mesh with that virtuous woman profile expressed so expertly by King Lemuel's mom and lived so joyfully by my Estella. I am forever indebted to wise King Solomon for introducing me to so much Wisdom, as well as my beloved John Miles, Estella, and a host of others who have helped make Wisdom my friend. With a heart of true gratitude, I stand proud and confident that Wisdom is guiding me to become that flawless brightly shining ruby that mirrors the heart of my Creator. A ruby that forever radiates forth its true translucence-no matter what unknown situation life may send my way. Number of Pages: 156 Dimensions: 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN Publication Date: March 04, 2013

Books by splitShops The Stolen Twins: Based on a true story, an utterly heartbreaking World War Two page-turner - Paperback
by Shari J. Ryan (Author)Auschwitz, 1944: "You can't leave me," I whisper, my hand trembling as I reach for her cheek. "You can't. We're in this life together, always, just you and me." This utterly heartbreaking yet beautifully hopeful World War Two page-turner tells the story of identical twin sisters in Auschwitz. Born minutes apart, Arina and Nora have never left each other's side-until now... The cattle car is dark, except for the light filtering through the boarded windows. There are too many of us to count, crushed up against each other. The air is stuffy, carrying the scent of our terror-none of us know what awaits us when this train stops. I cling onto Mama's hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papa's. After what feels like forever, the train stops. We spill out of the carriage, the sun blinding us after being imprisoned in darkness for so long. There are people everywhere, soldiers separating children from their parents, husbands from wives. We're in some sort of queue, and a man in a dark-green SS uniform walks by, glancing at everyone he passes. "Twins, twins," he shouts. My heart falls into the pit of my stomach. "Right here," says Mama, hesitation in her voice. "My daughters are twins." My eyes widen, and Nora trembles. Papa tries to tell Mama to be quiet, but it's too late. The Nazi catches sight of us. "Twins," he says again, pausing to inspect Nora and me. "Yes, you are, aren't you? You two are going to come along with me." This unforgettable World War Two page-turner, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Lucky Ones and The Midwife of Auschwitz, shows that, in the darkest of times, love can save your life...

Books by splitShops Workin' in da Boneyard - Paperback
by Madrina Angelique (Author), Denise Alvarado (Author)Trample on the dust of the Dead lightly...This sentiment, held by old-time Hoodoos and traditional Rootworkers, is a subtle reminder of the importance of observing certain behaviors while in a graveyard. Knock before entering. Be careful where you walk. Don't step on graves or sit on tombstones. Always ask before taking anything-even stones, flowers, sticks and leaves. Never leave trash, always greet the gatekeeper and always come prepared with a pocket full of pennies, silver dimes and a bottle of rum or whiskey. The important thing to remember is that you never just walk in and take something. You must always treat the spirits with respect; both the spirits of the deceased, as well as the guardians of the cemeteries and the psychopomps. Workin' in da Boneyard is a primer for conjurers seeking a tangible connection to their past, their ancestors and the Spirit World by working with graveyards and graveyard dirt. From practical issues of safety, choosing a cemetery, locating ancestral graves, reading gravestone signs and symbols, avoiding haints and hauntings, to gathering graveyard dirt and making goofer dust, Workin' in da Boneyard has the information needed for working effective graveyard conjure, as well as words of caution for the ill-prepared.Author BiographyDenise Alvarado is a native Creole born and raised in the Voodoo and hoodoo rich culture of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Books by splitShops The Ever Part of Always: Keely Tucker's First Adventure - Paperback
by Toby K. Davis (Author)Ten-year-old Keely Rosalie Tucker is a modern-day knight with no armor. Constantly bullied by a neighbor boy, Keely struggles to find her place in the world in which she is comforted only by the stories her Gramms has told her about enchanted, faraway places, where unicorns, fairies, and angels protect children from life's everyday pains and dangers. Now all Keely has to do is figure out how to call them to help her. Everything changes when her beloved Gramms suddenly dies and gifts Keely with her aging horse, Mariah-setting the stage for an adventure. Keely discovers that Mariah can talk, and she soon finds her way to a hidden valley over the moon and beyond rainbows where monsters and dragons disturb and invade the peace of mind. Now she must learn to believe in herself and develop her secret powers in order to deliver a miracle before it is too late. In this delightful and charming fantasy tale, a little girl learns to summon her courage and rely on her imagination as she opens her heart and mind to the sounds of the possible in a last-ditch effort to save a friend."Like the Harry Potter series... all ages can enjoy Keely's adventure, the novel is ideal for young fantasy fans.""Keely's world is recognizably real and occasionally grim, but the fantasy realm she travels to is no utopia either...
