"Just after WWII, when America is under the arduous task of redefining itself both domestically and abroad, Esther Allen embarks on a profound spiritual journey to redefine herself as an African American and as a woman. Set in a rural East Texas town in the early 1950s, Esther's journey of self-discovery takes place during a volatile time before the Civil Rights Movement and during a countrywide transition and upheaval. When Esther goes to work for her new employer, Taylor Payne, a predictable and professional friendship ensues. However, when that friendship leads to romance, their budding connection will have to contend with the shifting roles of relationships and expectations in an ever-changing world. Solomon's Blues is a dramatic novel about the complex relationship journey that takes place between two people in a mercurial era in American history. By bringing forth the challenges of living a faithful life and how hard it is to learn to trust people, this captivating book sheds light on the difficulties that all people face when adapting to change. Esther's remarkable task of accepting and redefining herself amidst the emotional, social, and physical circumstances that bring about a change in roles and responsibility takes readers on a thought-provoking and dramatic ride through one woman's difficult period in life. The unique exploration of the ambivalent feelings shared by many black Americans who love a country that they don't feel values them is an engaging background to Esther's remarkable spiritual journey.

- All blood runs red : the legendary life of Eugene Bullard -- boxer, pilot, soldier, spy / by Keith, Phil,1946-author.(CARDINAL)656915; Clavin, Tom,1954-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 331-335) and index.The runaway -- The fighter -- The pilot -- The impresario -- The spy -- The pioneer.The incredible life story of Eugene Bullard, the first African American military pilot in WWI, who went on to become a self-taught jazz musician, a Paris nightclub impresario, a spy in the French Resistance and an American civil rights pioneer. Eugene Bullard lived one of the most fascinating lives of the twentieth century. The son of a former slave and an indigenous Creek woman, Bullard fled home at the age of eleven to escape the racial hostility of his Georgia community. His five-year journey led him to a tramp steamer bound for Europe. There he discovered boxing, climbed the ranks and garnered worldwide fame as the "Black Sparrow." At eighteen he settled in Paris as a beloved celebrity and bon vivant. A year later World War I broke out. Bullard joined the French Foreign Legion, where he went on to become the first African American fighter pilot in history. After the war, Bullard returned to Paris a decorated war hero and leveraged his celebrity to become a fixture of Parisian nightclub society. Hemingway and Fitzgerald drank champagne at his club. A young Langston Hughes worked as a busboy. He counted Picasso, Josephine Baker and Man Ray as friends. He married a French countess and they had two daughters. At the dawn of World War II, with echoes of Casablanca, Bullard became a French spy, drawing Nazi soldiers to his club and conducting crucial surveillance for the Allies. After fleeing Paris he joined the Resistance before being safely smuggled onto a ship bound for America. He lived out the rest of his life in Harlem with his daughters, working as an assistant for Louis Armstrong. This is the dramatic untold story of an American hero, a thought-provoking survey of the twentieth century and a portrait of a man who came from nothing and by his own courage, determination, gumption, intelligence and luck forged a legendary life.- Subjects: Biographies.; Bullard, Eugene Jacques, 1895-1961.; African American fighter pilots; African American fighter pilots; African American boxers; Fighter pilots; World War, 1914-1918; World War, 1939-1945; Race discrimination;
