In The Soul Grind, bestselling author Jaydee Graham traced her journey from idyllic childhood to an addiction-shattered family, residential treatment and into the arms of an abusive boyfriend. And in The Soul Grind II, Graham returns with the same fearlessness and candor to deliver an incredible sequel to that story: her journey out of abuse and addiction and into motherhood. Upon finding out she was pregnant while in the midst of an abusive relationship, Graham decided to go cold turkey and leave her alcohol and drug-fueled lifestyle behind to protect her newborn son-though she didn't expect that her healthy decisions would put her on a collision course with all the dark forces and relationships trying to hold her back. Struggling to survive and heal, Graham explains how she built her own life as a single mother while getting a Master's degree in social work and becoming a speaker and advocate for herself and others. As ever, she exposes her own hard truths of pain, fear and guilt along the way-only to transform them via hope and her redemptive love for her beloved son. Through raw reflections, heart-rending stories, letters to her infant son and awe-inspiring lessons on how to keep going, Graham fills in the gaps left in The Soul Grind with gritty new insights and details-and offers a messy and authentic roadmap out of the trenches once and for all, both for herself and others. For any women struggling to find purpose, single mothers or survivors of addiction and abuse, The Soul Grind II proves once again that Graham is an essential, rising voice in the world of recovery and self-healing.

Jaydee Graham had a golden, idyllic childhood-the youngest child, adored by her parents, her future unlimited. Then a business deal gone wrong plunged the family into difficulties, pushing her father into an addiction that shattered her childhood. When her wild and free spirit clashed with the iron control of family and church, Jaydee went through a series of therapists and hospitals, eventually ending up in long-term residential treatment-all of which alienated her further from her family and drove her into the arms of an abusive boyfriend. Then, when all hope seemed lost, she found a surprising and miraculous source of love that became the ladder out of the hole her life had become. Endlessly surprising, startling and yet oddly hopeful, The Soul Grind tells the tale of a fierce and passionate soul grasping to make sense of a senseless world. A must-read for anyone who's survived trauma, addiction or perhaps just adolescence, this book heralds the addition of a thrilling new voice to the recovery canon.

Farming While Black is the first comprehensive "how to" guide for aspiring African-heritage growers to reclaim their dignity as agriculturists and for all farmers to understand the distinct, technical contributions of African-heritage people to sustainable agriculture. At Soul Fire Farm, author Leah Penniman co-created the Black and Latino Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program as a container for new farmers to share growing skills in a culturally relevant and supportive environment led by people of color. Farming While Black organizes and expands upon the curriculum of the BLFI to provide readers with a concise guide to all aspects of small-scale farming, from business planning to preserving the harvest. Throughout the chapters Penniman uplifts the wisdom of the African diasporic farmers and activists whose work informs the techniques described--from whole farm planning, soil fertility, seed selection, and agroecology, to using whole foods in culturally appropriate recipes, sharing stories of ancestors, and tools for healing from the trauma associated with slavery and economic exploitation on the land. Woven throughout the book is the story of Soul Fire Farm, a national leader in the food justice movement.--AMAZON.
