Five Smooth Stones: A Novel (Rediscovered Classics) by Ann FairbairnChicago Review PressThis gripping bestseller, first published in 1966, has continued to captivate readers with its wide-ranging yet intimate portrait of an America sundered by racial conflict. David Champlin is a black man born into poverty in Depression-era New Orleans who makes his way up the ladder of success, only to sacrifice everything to lead his people in the civil rights movement. Sara Kent is the white girl who loves David from the moment she first sees him, and who struggles against his belief that a marriage for them would be wrong in the violent world he has to confront. And the five smooth stones” are those the biblical David carried against Goliath. By the time this novel comes to its climax of horror, bloodshed, and hope, readers will be convinced that its enduring popularity is fully justified.

Skin Care Secrets of Women Who Don't Look Their Age - 13 Easy Ways to Have Smooth and Glowing Skin No Matter How Old You Are Now by Tanna SettleMakeRight PublishingIf you want to quickly and easily make fine lines, wrinkles and acne virtually disappear... even if skin care problems run in your family and you're in your upper 30's, 40's, 50's or 60's now... then this brand new book shows you how.
Here are some of the secrets inside:
- Why even many so-called "healthy" skin care products found in retail stores are murdering your appearance and adding more lines and wrinkles to your face.
- A "master list" of ingredients (found in skin care products you are probably using right now) that have proven to be extremely toxic.
- How to "slow" the signs of aging on your body and face.
- A substance found in almost every shampoo and sudsing cleanser that literally strips natural oils off your face leaving it dry and irritated. (It basically does to your skin what stripping tile floors of wax does to a floor!)
- How American cosmetics companies (especially the ones waving the "natural" cosmetics flag) get away with selling you products with ingredients that are banned in Canada and the EU.
- The "hidden" reason why so many women suffer from acne, skin rashes, inflammation and other skin problems. (HINT: This has nothing to do with the products you buy.)
- One thing you MUST do before going to bed if you want to prevent ugly blackheads or whiteheads.
- Exactly how much water you should drink for healthy, radiant skin.
- (Even "health nuts" get this wrong, which is why most of them suffer from the same unsightly skin problems you do!)
- How watching TV can make your skin problems feel worse.
- A special kind of doctor (NOT a dermatologist or surgeon) that can help eliminate many of your skin problems without causing you any pain or discomfort.
- What ancient Greeks used to naturally look (and feel) more youthful that anyone can do today (no matter where you live).
- A common skin care product ingredient found in many lotions (and even baby care products) that can cause black heads, big pores and trapped toxins. (If you see this ingredient on the bottle -- run!)
- The #1 cheapest and most simple way to begin anti-aging your face, body and skin.
- How to "rub away" wrinkles on your face. (Doing this will almost certainly make you look more relaxed and less wrinkled. It's not a quick fix, but it works like crazy!)
- How taking a nap can make your skin naturally look fresh.
- An ancient Chinese herb (that's dirt cheap to buy) that has been used for centuries to maintain youthful hair color, skin appearance and even help get rid of dull complexions, wrinkles, a sagging face, eye bags and dark circles.
- Michelle Obama's skin care secret. (Whether you like her or agree with her politics or not, there's no arguing she has beautiful skin -- here's one of her secrets.)
- How to "force" your body to produce its own anti-aging hormones.
