Winner of the George Washington Carver Award, Mrs. Palmer's Honey (1946) tells the story of Honey Hoop, a Black maid focused mainly on supporting her family and making ends meet. When, during the war effort, she takes a job at a munitions factory, she gets exposed to the organized labor efforts of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, which her brother has joined, and becomes a social activist herself. While some critics called its programatic aspects "propaganda" in the time of this publication, today the novel stands as a document of the ways in which different sectors of American society came together to fight for justice, inclusion, and respect for Black Americans. "This novel deals very skillfully with Honey's transformation from a simple domestic servant into an ardent worker in the cause of equal social and economic opportunity for her race."-The American Mercury About the author: Fannie Frank Cook (1893 - 1949) was a writer and social activist who worked for the advanced of Blacks, Jews, women, and the working class. Born to a German-Jewish immigrant family, she began to write as a child, and after completing her bachelor's at the University of Missouri, received a master's degree in English from Washington University, where she also taught. In addition to raising her two sons and teaching literature, Cook became active in local politics, including as Chairman of the Education Committee of the League of Women Voters in St. Louis. In 1930, she became chairman of the Race Relations Committee of city's Community Council, and eventually helped organize the Committee for the Rehabilitation of the Sharecroppers, which bought land for resettlement in what became known as Cropperville. Her first novel, The Hill Grows Steeper, was published in 1938. Before dying of a heart attack in 1949, she published five more novels-all of them portraying social ills with the goal of using literature to influence public opinion and to increase awareness of racial in justice in the United States.

Buddhism & the Twelve Steps: HIGHER POWER is a gift for those who struggle with the Twelve Step program's focus on the need to surrender to a Higher Power. Taking a radical departure from traditional views of God, Western or Eastern, author Kevin Griffin neither accepts Christian beliefs in a Supreme Being nor Buddhist non-theism, but rather forges a refreshing, sensible, and accessible Middle Way. Griffin shows how the Dharma, the teachings of the Buddha, can be understood as a Higher Power. Karma, mindfulness, impermanence, and the Eightfold Path itself are revealed as powerful forces that can be accessed through meditation and inquiry.Drawing from his own experiences with substance abuse, rehabilitation, and recovery, Griffin looks at the various ways that meditation and spiritual practices helped deepen his experience of sobriety. His personal story of addiction is not only raw, honest and engrossing, but guides readers to an inquiry of their own spirituality. In doing so, he poses profound questions, including: - How can I understand God from a Buddhist perspective?- How can I "turn my will and my life over" as a Buddhist?- How can this idea of God "remove my shortcomings"?- How do I learn this God's "will"?
