(Or call AuthorHouse toll-free at 1-888-280-7715.) Media only: To review this book, send your name, the name of your publication or media outlet, address, and phone number to the publicist. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, W. E. B. Du Bois, Sojourner Truth, Booker T. Washington, Harriet Tubman, Thurgood Marshall, Mary McLeod Bethune, and Fredrick Douglass are all names synonymous with the celebration of African American History; and, each one of them is deserving of our highest praise. However, in Words Of Comfort, E. D. Arrington’s first collection of poems and inspirational writings, she takes the opportunity to pay homage to the least likely of our ancestors. Lest We Forget…Every Life Counts! emblazoned on a golden scroll on the last page, bringing to a close this heartfelt book, sums up the theme that weaves its way throughout this body of work. “Every word,” Arrington says, “was written in tribute to people, all of whom I cherished. People, none of whose names are famous, or, to most, not even recognizable. People who possibly never fathomed being placed in the spotlight of my life…a life that they each helped to shape into the person I am today. My only hope is that by some small measure, I have made them proud.” (68 color pages. Soft cover only.)
