This book was written by Connie White at the age of 15. Upon being reunited with her mother after nearly 10 years of separation, Connie, began to journal the life she experienced while living with her father. She takes you from the origins of child abuse and incest, which manifested suicidal ideation and ultimately, attempting to take the life of her oppressor, her father. For nearly 25 years, her journal sat. Not until after Connie had become a mental health practitioner and minister of the gospel was her mission revealed. Her life experiences would be used to understand and empower others in similar situations. Finding that people must process what is surpressed before healing can take place, this book is geared toward the abused, abuser, professionals who work with them and the bystander. This book is so unique because it was written, through the eyes of a child.

John Morrissey (1831-1878), also known as Old Smoke, was an Irish-born American who became a prominent figure of the 1850’s. Raised in New York State, Morrissey moved to San Francisco at the time of the California Gold Rush in the early 1850’s. There, he took up bare-knuckle boxing and, on his return to New York, challenged and defeated “Yankee Sullivan”, then recognized as the American boxing champion. Following his boxing career, Morrissey later became a professional gambler, owning gambling houses in New York City in the 1850s and 1860s. He then became a U.S. Congressman between 1867-1871, backed by Tammany Hall, but later fell out with the political machine and became an Anti-Tammany Democratic State Senator for New York between 1876-1878. Brandy For Heroes, first published in 1938, is sportswriter Jack Kofoed’s biography of John Morrissey. Kofoed draws on his fast-paced journalistic skills and takes the reader on an exciting journey of Old Smoke’s life: from his early years in the slums of Troy, New York, to his prize fights in California, defeating the likes of Hyer, Sullivan and Heenan, and concluding with Morrissey’s political career back in his home state of New York as Senator during the 1850’s-1860’s.

This volume presents fifteen chapters of biography of African American and black champions and challengers of the early prize ring. They range from Tom Molineaux, a slave who won freedom and fame in the ring in the early 1800s; to Joe Gans, the first African American world champion; to the flamboyant Jack Johnson, deemed such a threat to white society that film of his defeat of former champion and "Great White Hope" Jim Jeffries was banned across much of the country. Photographs, period drawings, cartoons, and fight posters enhance the biographies. Round-by-round coverage of select historic fights is included, as is a foreword by Hall-of-Fame boxing announcer Al Bernstein.
