Completed shortly before her tragic death in 19665, Everything and Nothing recounts her rags-to-riches-to-rags story form her personal point of view. Dandridge recalls her humble beginnings in Depression-era Cleveland, Ohio, her rise to fame and success as the first African American to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination (for her role in Carmen Jones), the disappointments and pain of her childhood and family life, and her downward spiral into alcoholism and financial troubles, Everything and Nothing is a mesmerizing and harrowing journey through the life and times of one of Hollywood's most unforgettable stars.

Written by Earl Conrad and originally published by Carter G. Woodson and the The Associated Publishers in 1943 and 1990, General Harriet Tubman is a well-researched and documented biography. It draws on the accounts of Tubman's living relatives and others with expert knowledge of the period in which she lived. Perhaps, for this reason, in his Acknowledgements for the first edition, Conrad likened the book to Tubman herself: "Scores of people have contributed to the information, the understanding, and diverse other assistance that has been necessary in effecting this complete life of Harriet Tubman. I could not possibly call it my own. It is as much the property of others, and of the Negroes in particular, as Harriet herself was the claim of her people and her country.

This is Haywood Patterson's own story of the infamous Scottsboro case and its aftermath Earl Conrad tells it in the simple, direct, and powerful words of Haywood Patterson himself - the recently escaped prisoner, the Scottsboro boy who is even now being hunted for a crime he did not commit. On March 25, 1931, nine Negro boys, unemployed and looking for work, were riding on a train that was passing through a Southern town. They got into a fight with some white hobos and knocked them off the train. To get even, the white s reported that the Negro kids had raped two white prostitutes whom they knew to be riding on that same freight train. That was the beginning.
