Resumen del Editor
In this inspiring memoir, the award-winning playwright and best-selling author of What Looks like Crazy on an Ordinary Day reminisces on the art of juggling marriage, motherhood, and politics while working to become a successful writer.
In addition to being one of the most popular living playwrights in America, Pearl Cleage is a best-selling author with an Oprah Book Club pick and multiple awards to her credit. But there was a time when such stellar success seemed like a dream. In this revelatory and deeply personal work, Cleage takes listeners back to the 1970s and '80s, retracing her struggles to hone her craft amid personal and professional tumult.
Though born and raised in Detroit, it was in Atlanta that Cleage encountered the forces that would most shape her experience. Married to Michael Lomax, now head of the United Negro College Fund, she worked with Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first African American mayor. Things I Should Have Told My Daughter charts not only the political fights but also the pull she began to feel to focus on her own passions, including writing - a pull that led her away from Lomax as she grappled with ideas of feminism and self-fulfillment. This fascinating memoir follows her journey from a columnist for a local weekly to a playwright and Hollywood scriptwriter, an artist at the crossroads of culture and politics whose circle came to include luminaries like Richard Pryor, Avery Brooks, Phylicia Rashad, Shirley Franklin, and Jesse Jackson. By the time Oprah Winfrey picked What Looks like Crazy on an Ordinary Day as a favorite, Cleage had long since arrived as a writer of renown.
In the tradition of greats like Susan Sontag, Joan Didion, and Nora Ephron, Cleage's self-portrait raises women's confessional writing to the level of great literature.

Hip-hop artist Tip "T.I." Harris has received every acclaim the music world has to offer. Now, working with bestselling celebrity collaborator David Ritz, T.I. applies all his talent and experience to the world of fiction by creating the epic love story of Power and Beauty. After the death of his mother, Charlotte, Paul “Power” Clay allows himself to be guided by Slim, a local businessman. Slim always has the best of everything, and Power is sure that if he learns Slim's ways, he'll make something of himself - and perhaps be worthy of Tanya “Beauty” Long.

Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, and all-around diva, Porter was a young boy who didn’t fit in.

Historia
In the Technicolor glow of the early 70s, Jessica B. Harris debated, celebrated, and danced her way from the jazz clubs of the Manhattan's West Side to the restaurants of the Village, living out her buoyant youth alongside the great minds of the day - luminaries like Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison. My Soul Looks Back is her paean to that fascinating social circle and the depth of their shared commitment to activism, intellectual engagement, and each other.

It’s easy to be yourself when who and what you are is in vogue. But growing up Black and gay in America has never been easy. Before Billy Porter was slaying red carpets and giving an iconic performance in the celebrated TV show Pose; before he was the Tony Award-winning star of Broadway’s Kinky Boots; and before he was an acclaimed recording artist, actor, playwright, and all-around diva, Porter was a young boy who didn’t fit in.

journaling
while I've never been one to have long term devotion it takes, I've heard of people who do and always wondered about the care and maintenance of the collection they must become over decades, now I have an inkling. I could just see the handwriting change as the maturity and the experiences affected the mood and feelings of each entry and if course the letters, notes, pictures and such that get stuck in the pages for memory sake. creative point of view.

A Treasure!
I really loved this book, am very grateful that I started it, completely unaware of the treasure I was unearthing. I was drawn by the title and swept into a life and time and place so vividly expressed that I felt I was there almost every step of the way. I appreciated the personal descriptions of music, film, political life of the particular times, of friendship and family and love, but I really felt into Pearl Cleage’s writing about writing ~ my only regret is that in listening to an audio version, mostly on my dog walks, I didn’t have a chance to jot down the many quotes that most resonated. Will seek out the written book so I can again feel the thrill of recognition, of “yes! - that’s it, that’s how it feels!” ~ shared with someone whose life is so different from my own, a tiny point of connection, communion.

Love hate relationship with this book
This book was recommended by I don't recall who. It is the first book I read that is like this. I did not like it for many parts but then I did love other sections. Its very interesting to be able to be part of someones life this way. I did not know who Pearl Cleage was until I got frustrated and googled her when I was half way in this book, I will read another one of her books and make my mind up then.
I do believe that this author / artist has a very strong mind and make a lot of sense and I respect her and think she is a great role model for girls/young women.
