A riveting, coming-of-age memoir about three Black girls from the storied Bronzeville section of Chicago that offers a penetrating exploration of race, opportunity, friendship, sisterhood, and the powerful forces at work that allow some to flourish...and others to falter. When her sister was born, fiery and willful from the start, three-year-old Dawn Turner understood that Kim would always be both an ally and adversary. She had a similar feeling when she became friends with pretty Debra Trice in third grade. Dawn was instantly captivated by Debra's bold and rambunctious spirit, so opposite to her own. The three girls formed an indelible bond as they spent their years growing up together daydreaming about their futures: Dawn, a writer, Debra a doctor, and Kim, a teacher. Then they came to the precipice, a fraught rite of passage for all girls when the dangers and harsh realities of the world burst the innocent bubble of childhood, when the choices they made could--and would--have devast

In popular, legal, and academic discourses, the term "human rights" is now almost always discussed in relation to its opposite: human rights abuses. Syllabi, textbooks, and articles focus largely on v
In so-called Christian countries an increasing number of people openly reject Christian morality. It is a commonplace that they do this for values that can be shown to be Christian. How did this state of affairs come about? An examination of the beginning of Christian ethical thought shows that, within great personal variety, certain patterns or concepts remain constant. Righteousness, discipleship, faith and love are traced in this book from the New Testament through to Augustine. There is a necessary tension between high ideals and practical performance, or between perfection and contingency. When this tension is lost, Christian ethics can easily go wrong. The amoral perfectionism of second-century Gnostics is remarkably similar to the mysticism of communal movements; the opposite threat of legalism has always been present in conservative forms of Christianity. Dr Osborn is concerned to explain rather than to defend, to look at the way conclusions are reached, and to show the rich d
