For Krista Campbell, growing up brought her two things: confusion and fear. She was born with a degenerative illness that nullified her sense of joy in the world and caused her constant physical pain, but then after coming to find out certain..."facts" about her past, Krista was left with not knowing what was real and what was not about who she really was. If this wasn't enough, something far more sinister had crept up on her without even being identified: a relationship that would suck the emotional marrow out of her for years. Only through the power of belief in herself and a sense of self-worth did she come to realize she wasn't a glass girl. She was made of the finest armor any of us can have in life: Esteem. Truly one of the most powerful books possibly ever written on what it means to live with disease and be in a dysfunctional relationship at the same time, The Glass Girl is a book that reminds you not to get too comfortable in a relationship...it could take away years of life or even your life itself.

Sharday Cage has given the world a gift. Her debut book of poetry, entitled "Death of a Black Star," offers a beautiful perspective on the duality of culture. Drawing from her African heritage and pulling from her Chicagoan upbringing, Sharday provides passionate prose and rhymes about what it's like to be black and living in America while having dreams of Africa. Along with this, her words debate what it means to be troubled by life, to be inspired by love, and most of all, to shine bright as a black star. Sharday Cage began reciting her poetry at Saint Xavier, whereat she reached a pivotal moment: reciting her poem “Forgiveness” to Sister Helen Prejean, who has become a leading American advocate for the abolition of the death penalty and who was played by Susan Sarandon in the film based on her life, Dead Man Walking. What has been said about "Death of a Black Star:" "Her poems are wise, edgy, funky, relevant, and universal. Best of all, to steal a phrase from the old jazzmen, her poems “swing.” She has impeccable pace, rhythm, and timing. Sharday’s poetry is a joy to read." - Milo Samardzija "Her poems are the voice of African Americans living in a new century that is still trying to deal with an enormous amount of change and acceptance of culture. I prefer to look at these poems as letters from the front line of these changes for all people, African or otherwise." ---Dan Picone, Poet and author of "Lost Evidents," which is also available on Sakura Publishing at http://www.sakura-publishing.com

FROM THE BACK COVER: We've all seen and heard stories about the Vietnam War. Mostly, it's always been from an American perspective, but what about from those who lived in Vietnam during that terrible time in history? Author Dieu Bao was just a child living in the rural village of Son Tung when war came to her country. She tried desperately to live a normal life in the serene countryside, but too many times bombs rained down from the sky. Too many times the people she loved, including her own family, were killed because of the battles being fought all across Vietnam. Along with this, Dieu endured many other kinds of battles that weren't fought with guns or planes, but with lying abusive husbands. There seemed to be nowhere in Vietnam that she could escape from violence. Yet through her passion for life and her devotion to Buddha, Dieu managed to find a way out from the madness in Vietnam. Sakura Publishing is proud to publish this incredible true story about a young Vietnamese girl who becomes a woman, searches for love and seemingly impossible peace, and eventually finds it in the most unexpected of places.
