With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alysia Burton Steele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 145556284X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781455562848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Center Street\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEssence\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015 pg. 60","brand":"Alysia Burton Steele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072979103999,"sku":"9781455562848","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77be2f02-0132-4758-b361-f7c449912d26.jpg?v=1685445079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/delta-jewels-alysia-burton-steele-9781455562848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
