Owner of a small African-American bookshop, Miss Cozy has an unique gift: Customers who walk through her door rarely leave without a book that speaks directly to their life. But when Josephine--"Fina"--and Ross arrive in search of an obscure, unpublished manuscript written by a slave woman, Miss Cozy knows that all her visions have been leading her to this magical day. Yet Miss Cozy has no intention of selling the manuscript--no matter the price. So she offers Fina and Ross an alternative. They can read it together at the store. It was not what they hoped for, but their interest in the extraordinary love story is about as strong as their uncanny attraction for one another . . . one they both sense runs much deeper than a kiss. In the course of a few days, Fina and Ross realize that this powerful book has special meaning for the two of them--and that the path to their shared future may be linked to something that happened more than a century ago. . . .

With exclusive access to Strummer's friends, relatives, and fellow musicians, music journalist Chris Salewicz penetrates the soul of an rock 'n roll icon. The Clash was--and still is--one of the most important groups of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Indebted to rockabilly, reggae, Memphis soul, cowboy justice, and '60s protest, the overtly political band railed against war, racism, and a dead-end economy, and in the process imparted a conscience to punk. Their eponymous first record and London Calling still rank in Rolling Stone's top-ten best albums of all time, and in 2003 they were officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Joe Strummer was the Clash's front man, a rock-and-roll hero seen by many as the personification of outlaw integrity and street cool. The political heart of the Clash, Strummer synthesized gritty toughness and poetic sensitivity in a manner that still resonates with listeners, and his untimely death in December 2002 shook the world, further solidifying his iconic status. Salewicz was a friend to Strummer for close to three decades and has covered the Clash's career and the entire punk movement from its inception. He uses his vantage point to write Redemption Song, the definitive biography of Strummer, charting his enormous worldwide success, his bleak years in the wilderness after the Clash's bitter breakup, and his triumphant return to stardom at the end of his life. Salewicz argues for Strummer's place in a long line of protest singers that includes Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, and Bob Marley, and examines by turns Strummer's and punk's ongoing cultural influence.

An artist's book/zine of images by Theo Strasser, consisting of collaged black and white artwork overprinted on the title page and many other pages drawn from a copy of the London publisher Pickering & Inglis' hymnal "Redemption songs: a choice collection of one thousand hymns and choruses for evangelistic meetings, soloists, choirs, the home" (dating from the late 19th or early 20th century). The use of a religious work as a base for an altered photographic book may have been suggested by Adam Broomberg & Oliver Chanarin's "Holy Bible" (2013), although Theo Strasser's Redemption Songs is a more oblique and personal selection, presented in a small stitched booklet with black card covers (the same size as the original, though with fewer pages), with the title stamped in silver and a cross stamped in red on the cover.

Based on true events. When the remains of a gifted songstress and house servant named Danielle, is found in the wall of an abandoned Louisiana mansion on the Soileau Plantation in 1932, it sets off a media frenzy in the French and English-speaking parish of Lafayette. Through her younger sister, Alette, who travels from Chicago to identify the body, reporters learn the nature of Danielle's life on and off of the sugar plantation as a former child companion of the master's daughter. Known for her proficiency in herbal remedies, beauty, and likeness on the Soileau & Sons' rum and sugar product art, Danielle is flawed, yet favored by her lustful master, Demetre Soileau, and despised by his wife, Etiennette. Exposed to the society of Louisiana Creoles of color and free Blacks, regarded as the gens libre de couleur, Danielle catches the tender eye of a free mariner and business owner, Alphonse Santee, who is instrumental in her thirst for freedom, love, and her desire to mend her broken family torn apart by turmoil and Demetre. While Alphonse presents to her a love she never knew existed, Danielle reconsiders the fairy-tale lifestyle that she imagined she could acquire since childhood. When Danielle becomes pregnant, Etiennette threatens to torture the slave and her family if she learns that the child was truly conceived with Demetre, who, like Etiennette, is unaware that Danielle is involved in a love triangle.Song of Redemption is filled with the rich culture of multi-parishes west of the Mississippi River. It opens a window to aspects of pre-Civil War life rarely discussed in detail, such as the role and limitations of mariners of color, the use of African-American sign language, and the process and laws regarding marriage for enslaved or free southern Blacks. Malika Stevely's unique debut novel combines unforgettable storytelling with historical accounts, giving homage to those who were once voiceless, and inspiring generations to come.
