MESSAGE FROM THE CEO:

We understand that some of you purchasing copies of our books in bulk feel you are taking a risk on us – the publisher and the author. You might not know whether you’ll sell 1 copy, 100 copies, 1,000 copies or a million! We didn’t either when we invested all the time, money, heart, and effort into the publication of our books. And allowing anyone to take a “risk” with a large order that can be returned and refunded, that could bankrupt our company, is not a risk we – as a for-profit business with a goal to create classic stories (forever) that can change the world (forever) – want to take. So, we ask that everyone orders wisely. Order smart. Know your audience, demographics, and the value proposition of our books to your readers and customers

We’re not asking you to take a risk on us. We’re simply asking you to take a chance.

Thank you for your order, and thank you for your understanding.


Book Summary

Awakening To Racial Injustice

Zenetta Henchman awakens to the racial injustices rooted in her small town when she witnesses a Black neighbor’s fatal shooting. The lack of justice delivered by the police, along with the lack of attention the shooting receives from those in authority in her community, outrages her and causes her to question the need to respect an authority that can’t protect you.

The Price of Her Silence

When she and her best friend find themselves on the receiving end of racially motivated police brutality, however, they’re given a choice: keep their mouths shut or let their families pay the price. Her silence buys her family’s safety, but when someone dies because of it, Zenetta’s confronted with a terrible truth: there’s a price to be paid for silence, too.

A False Accusation

Now the same cops that demanded her silence are falsely accusing her father of a crime she knows he didn’t commit. Will justice prevail or will her father be wrongly convicted by the system he swore his life to serve?
