In the waning days of the Civil War, brothers Prentiss and Landry—freed by the Emancipation Proclamation—seek refuge on the homestead of George Walker and his wife, Isabelle.

Story
This story starts with a family. For now, it is a father and a mother with two sons, one with his father’s violence in his blood, one with his mother’s artistry. One leaves. One stays. They will be joined by others whose deeds will determine their fate. It is a beginning. Their stories will intertwine and evolve over the course of 2,000 years. They will meet again and again at different times and in different places. From Palestine at the dawn of the first millennium and journeying across 50 countries to a life among the stars, their destinies remain the same....

This remarkable novel begins in 1850s Louisiana, where Gilda escapes slavery and learns about freedom while working in a brothel. After being initiated into eternal life as one who "shares the blood" by two women there, Gilda spends the next 200 years searching for a place to call home. An instant lesbian classic when it was first published in 1991, The Gilda Stories has endured as an auspiciously prescient book in its explorations of blackness, radical ecology, re-definitions of family, and yes, the erotic potential of the vampire story.

All theater romances are tragedies. Ella Blythe knows this. Still, she cannot help but hope her own story may turn out different than most - and certainly different than the tragic story of the Ghost of Craven Street Theater. Yet as she struggles to maintain her tenuous place in the ever-shrinking ballet company, win the attentions of principal dancer Philippe, and avoid company flirt Jack, Ella cannot deny the uncanny feeling that her life is mirroring that of the dead ballerina.

The killing - on Park Avenue in broad daylight, on Friday the 13th - shook the city.

Too Much Profanity!! Sad
- By Amazon Customer on 05-22-21
By: Kristen Harnisch
Publisher's summary
Based on a true story, Exile Child conveys the pain, heartache and inner strength of Sarah Bartmann (the Hottentot Venus) in a way that will leave you feeling both angry at the less glorious side of history and also humbled by a sense of wonder at how anyone could tolerate a life of slavery without losing that most precious of human needs...hope.
"Exile Child is a historically correct flesh-and-blood portrayal of one of our most tragic heroines." (The Sowetan Newspaper)
"Expect to feel anger and indignation as you realise the inhumanity Sarah had to ensure, but Franco's account, although hard-hitting, is thoughtful and sympathetic." (The Cosmopolitan Magazine)
"Exile Child gives a harrowing and absorbing account of Sarah's incredible life." (The Herald Newspaper)
“Exile Child tells the sad and tragic true story of Sarah Bartmann, a young Khoisan woman living in the 1800’s, who involuntarily became the most terrible victim of colonialism and racism, simply because of her physical attributes.” (African Reporter Newspaper)
"Exile Child collates all that is imaginable and creates a story that is highly emotive." (City Press Magazine)
“Exile Child gives readers a window into the depths of prejudice and racism, and a very real depiction of this heroine who lived more than a lifetime ago. A truly inspiring read.” (Proud Magazine)
"Exile Chid does Sarah justice to be given a female and personal voice. This book offers a blend of history that will not disappoint.” (Big Issue Newspaper)
"The story of Sarah Bartmann, through Exile Child is in safe hands." (The Thabo Mbeki Foundation)

Story
Written in the then fashionable style form of letters between the characters in the book, Jane Austen tells the story of the beautiful widow Lady Susan. Lady Susan has an eye toward re-marrying well, and marrying off her teenage daughter. To achieve her objectives, she spins a tale of Victorian humor and manipulation. In the end, she outsmarts even herself. Jane Austen's earliest known serious work, Lady Susan is a short, epistolary novel that portrays a woman bent on the exercise of her own powerful mind and personality to the point of social self-destruction.
