“What is it, Minister Andre?” Andre tried to figure out how to tell him without sounding ridiculous. “Pastor, I have fallen in love with the young lady I was telling you about.” Pastor Seavers was surprised, “You mean the lounge singer?” Andre waited a bit and then said, “She is not a lounge singer, pastor. She sings with her family on stage all over the world. She also sings gospel at times.” Paul just stared out the window. His eyes were red, and his hands were shaking like a leaf. Will looked at his long-time friend, shook his head, and said, “Man Paul, you know she can press charges? How could you attack her like that?” Paul closed his eyes, and rubbed his eyebrows, “She just kept talking, Will. Plain silly! I lost it. Man, for a minute there, I wanted to choke the living daylights out of her. This guy does not have a pot or a window!” “What?” Will asked. Paul looked at him. “He has nothing! And here she is just repeating that he is the only man for her. What got into her, Will? What in the world happened to her? She is the smartest child I have. She just lost her mind, man.” Will shook his head. “Love got into her Paul. It is love.”

They share a passionate physical relationship, yet Cerina really desires an emotional connection with Temple—a connection he is not willing to give. Eventually Cerina discovers Temple has fallen in love with Daryl and her obsession plummets out of control. Meanwhile, Kevin realizes that he can run, but there is nowhere to hide from a scorned lover. He finds himself a target of a forgotten lover, who tracks him down from thousands of miles away, and will stop at nothing to ensure total destruction of his life. With gripping detail, A Deeper Blue intertwines love, hate, jealousy, infidelity, revenge, and ultimately, murder.

Sophie Tucker appeared in only seven American stage musicals and appeared only twice on Broadway but, then, it was difficult to cast her in a show. A buxom and ebullient performer, she--and her audiences--quickly found that playing herself was most effective. This is a biography of a vaudeville and cabaret performer who saw herself as one of the first liberated women and one of the last "red hot mamas." It tells the story of her birth as her mother traveled to Boston from Russia, her childhood in Boston, and her first public performance at Poli's Vaudeville Theatre at the age of 13. It also tells the story of her troubled marriage to Louis Tuck and the birth of their son, her meeting with Willie Howard, a vaudeville veteran who encouraged her to go to New York and pursue a stage career, her discovery by Flo Ziegfeld (of the Ziegfeld Follies), and her rise to headliner status under the guidance of her agent William Morris. She was best known for appearing on stage with just a piano player, and openly discussing her life and Jewish upbringing.

How religion, gender, and urban sociality are expressed in and mediated via television drama in Kinshasa is the focus of this ethnographic study. Influenced by Nigerian films and intimately related to the emergence of a charismatic Christian scene, these teleserials integrate melodrama, conversion narratives, Christian songs, sermons, testimonies, and deliverance rituals to produce commentaries on what it means to be an inhabitant of Kinshasa.
