Katharine Lee Bates, an esteemed poet and author known for her iconic composition of "America the Beautiful," draws from her own experiences and deep appreciation for both literature and landscape.

    The history of African-Americans has been complicated and controversial. While some will fight against racism, others deny the severity of it throughout the ages. Whether or not the issue is as serious as it used to be, is a separate topic for debate. 
In this guide, you will not read much about opinions but about facts. Society has come a long way since the inauguration of slavery and suppression of the minority in the United States. As leaders stood up and laws have been adjusted one by one, more freedoms have been secured to what nowadays constitutes about 10-20% of the population. Whether it’s enough, is another question that divides political enthusiasts. 
You will learn more about the first slavery, the rise of the cotton market in the southern states, the abolitionism of slavery, the separation, and individuals like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X who have made a significant impact on the common perspective on these issues.

    This book is for those navigating significant life transitions, those who are Crossing Between Worlds. This book is your guide.  
These periods of change, often prompted by loss, crisis, or a desire for personal growth, can be unsettling. Yet this is an invitational season, waiting for you to become who you really are, to come fully alive.  
Instead of forcing ideas that were not designed specifically for you, this book challenges conventional wisdom and examines 15 paradoxes to help you find your own unique path, depending on the specific season of your life. Crossing Between Worlds provides the much needed scaffolding to align your natural tendencies, nurture your unique gifts and allow yourself to move, and be moved, towards a new world so that you get to share this gift with others. 
Drawing from his teaching and clinical experience, Daryl provides a personalisable roadmap filled with poignant anecdotes, practical wisdom, and persuasive strategies for navigating life’s seemingly contradictory forces (e.g., Should I focus on the present, or the future? Should I learn to say “Yes,” or “No”).
