Douglass' Women Jewel Parker Rhodes diskuterar Douglass' Women : A Novel.Does having a mistress and a wife diminish the contributions of Frederick Douglass to American History? You decide. Meet the author at the Fredrick Douglass Branch Library in Detroit Public Library Douglass' Women A Novel By Jewell Parker Rhodes Frederick Douglass, the great African-American abolitionist, was a man who cherished freedom in life and in love. In this ambitious work of historical fiction, Douglass' passions come vividly to life in the form of two women: Anna Murray Douglass and Ottilie Assing. Douglass' Women is an imaginative rendering of these two women -- one black, the other white -- in Douglass' life. Anna, his wife, was a free woman of color who helped Douglass escape as a slave. She bore Douglass five children and provided him with a secure, loving home while he traveled the world with his message. Along the way, Douglass satisfied his intellectual needs in the company of Ottilie Assing, a white woman of German-Jewish descent, who would become his mistress for decades to come. How these two women find solidarity in their shared love for Douglass -- and his vision for a free America -- is at the heart of Jewell Parker Rhodes' extraordinary, epic novel. Meet the author Wednesday, February 25, 2009, 6 PM at the Frederick Douglass Branch of the Detroit Public Library, 3666 Grand River north of Trumbull in the Woodbridge area of Detroit.

Yellow Moon - Jewell Parker Rhodes, author reading and signing
Jewell Parker Rhodes—Yellow Moon Jewell Parker RhodesMarie Levant, the great-great grandaughter of the Voodoo Queen, Marie Leveau, knows better than anyone New Orleans’s brutal past—the legacy of slavery, poverty, racisim and sexism—and as an ER doctor, she treats its current victims. When she sleeps, she dreams of blood. Rain, never ending. The river is rising and the yellow moon warns of an ancient evil, a spirit created by colonial oppression. Echoing with the heartache and triumph of the African-American experience, the soulful rhythms of jazz, and the horrors of racial oppression, Yellow Moon is part two of the New Orleans trilogy that began with Voodoo Season—a magical realist fiction of the legend of voodoo priesess Marie Leveau—into present day.
