"Sassiness meets protection in a love story." Alisha McQueen, a feisty and independent woman who relies on her stilettos and sassiness to keep her going, is struggling with nightmares and an inability to be close to men after a horrifying attack. When her relentless stalker resurfaces, she yearns for security and sanctuary. In her darkest hour, she turns to Cole Walker, an enigmatic man who becomes both her frustration and unexpected salvation. Cole guards his drama-free existence, shielding himself from the ghosts of his own past. Yet, from the moment they first crossed paths, he has been drawn to Alisha. As she proposes a daring exchange—her assistance to help him bond with his newfound teenage daughter in exchange for the safety of a second apartment he owns—Cole finds himself unable to resist. The deal sparks an uncontrollable passion between them. But as secrets and demons haunt their budding relationship, their love and strength are put to the test.

He has an opportunity to buy some land down home, but he has to come up with the money right quick. He wants to sell an old piano that has been in his family for generations, but he shares ownership with his sister and it sits in her living room. She has already rejected several offers because the antique piano is covered with incredible carvings detailing the family’s rise from slavery.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and winner of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play, this modern American classic is about family, and the legacy of slavery in America. August Wilson has already given the American theater such spell-binding plays about the black experience in 20th-century America as Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Fences. In his second Pulitzer Prize-winner, The Piano Lesson, Wilson has fashioned perhaps his most haunting and dramatic work. At the heart of the play stands the ornately carved upright piano which, as the Charles family's prized, hard-won possession, has been gathering dust in the parlor of Berniece Charles's Pittsburgh home. When Boy Willie, Berniece's exuberant brother, bursts into her life with his dream of buying the same Mississippi land that his family had worked as slaves, he plans to sell their antique piano for the hard cash he needs to stake his future. But Berniece refuses to sell, clinging to the piano as a reminder of the history that is their family legacy. This dilemma is the real "piano lesson," reminding us that blacks are often deprived both of the symbols of their past and of opportunity in the present.

How does a little boy from the London suburbs named Reginald Kenneth Dwight grow up to become one of the biggest pop stars of all time? A lot of talent and a lot of personality! Elton John, as he would later call himself, started playing piano at the age of three. Although he was trained to play classical music, Elton's real love was rock and roll. He cut his first album in 1969 and has dominated the airwaves ever since with songs like "Your Song," "Crocodile Rock" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Known for his outlandish stage costumes and giant glasses, Elton John continues to write songs for Broadway musicals, Hollywood soundtracks, and Top-40 hits.

"Ever since Ma Rainey's Black Bottom captivated Broadway audiences, August Wilson established himself as the most important American playwright of the last fifty years. His decade-by-decade cycle of ten plays about the African American experience in the twentieth century put Black life center stage, celebrating themes and voices that had been sorely missing from Broadway and regional theaters nationwide. His prolific body of work, as well as his advocacy for equity in the nation's theaters, paved the way for a new generation of African American playwrights. Wilson's life is the quintessential American story, a winding tale that took him from a two-room cold-water flat in Pittsburgh to the nation's most prestigious stages. His life is full of paradox as well as poetic justice. A precocious young man who dropped out of high school because of racism and intolerance, he went on to win a Tony Award and two Pulitzer Prizes for drama. He wrote flowery verse as a young aspiring poet but found his voice when he learned to listen to the people around him and tell their stories in their own words. He wrote often about fathers and sons but was raised by a single mother and never fully resolved questions about his biological father. His success was due in part to the guidance of his mentor, the acclaimed director Lloyd Richards, whom he referred to as "Pops," but the two men eventually parted ways in a tragic, acrimonious split. No one has written more brilliantly about the trials and triumphs of African American life than August Wilson -- from Fences to Jitney to Joe Turner's Come and Gone. A prodigious reader and autodidact, Wilson said he never did research but instead drew on what he called "the blood's memory," an uncanny reimagining of his own family history and, by extension, that of all African Americans. He ultimately achieved his oft-stated goal: to turn ordinary Black Americans into kings and queens. Author and theater critic Patti Hartigan knew Wilson and interviewed him many times. She conducted exhaustive research, including interviews with friends, colleagues, and family members, to tell the definitive story of a playwright who left his indelible imprint on American theater" --

I came to in the middle of it, like waking inside a horror movie, silent scream and all. Eyes wide open. I was standing at an open window, staring at the dizzying curve of Riverside Drive, five floors below. I’d stopped, somehow, poised, about to jump. Growing up the good girl in an Irish American family full of drinkers and terrible sleepers, Kathleen Frazier was twelve when her seemingly innocent sleepwalking turned dangerous. Over the next few years, she was a popular A+ student by day, the star of her high school musical. At night, she both longed for and dreaded sleep. Frazier moved to Manhattan in the 1980s, hoping for a life in the theater but getting a run of sleepwalking performances instead. Efforts to abate her malady with drinking failed miserably. She became promiscuous, looking for nighttime companionship. Could a bed partner save her from flinging herself down a flight of stairs or out an open window? Exhaustion stalked her, and rest and love were seemingly out of reach. This is the journey Frazier illuminates in her intimate memoir. While highlighting her quest to beat her sleep terrors and insomnia, this is ultimately a story of health, hope, and redemption.
