Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia, when he told her he couldn’t move with her. Her marriage at an end, Harper began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the ensuing years, as Harper learned to become an effective ER physician, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter, she came to understand that each of us is broken—physically, emotionally, psychically.

Each of the patients Harper writes about taught her something important about recuperation and recovery. How to let go of fear even when the future is murky: How to tell the truth when it’s simpler to overlook it. How to understand that compassion isn’t the same as justice. As she shines a light on the systemic disenfranchisement of the patients she treats as they struggle to maintain their health and dignity, Harper comes to understand the importance of allowing ourselves to make peace with the past as we draw support from the present. In this hopeful, moving, and beautiful book, she passes along the precious, necessary lessons that she has learned as a daughter, a woman, and a physician.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780525537380 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-0\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"873\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-about-the-book\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-about 9780525537380 isbn-related seemoreenable show opened\" id=\"seemore-1\" height-fold=\"377\" target-height=\"925.463\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"overview\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\" id=\"listenToAClip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN-13:\u003cspan\u003e 9780525537397\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e Riverhead Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublication Date:\u003cspan\u003e June 29, 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN-13:\u003cspan\u003e 9780525537380\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher:\u003cspan\u003e Riverhead Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublication Date:\u003cspan\u003e July 7, 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"mobile-listen-to-a-clip\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"slot product-listen show\"\u003e\n\u003ca name=\"#listen-to-a-clip\" id=\"listenToAClip\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":36222677287075,"sku":"9780525537397","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40845882556579,"sku":"9780525537380","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/products\/thebeautyinbreakingpb.png?v=1679841110"},{"product_id":"parable-of-the-talents-octavia-e-butler","title":"Parable of the Talents","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginally published in 1998, this shockingly prescient novel’s timely message of hope and resistance in the face of fanaticism is more relevant than ever.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2032, Lauren Olamina has survived the destruction of her home and family, and realized her vision of a peaceful community in northern California based on her newly founded faith, Earthseed.

Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave-owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South’s slave market. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave-owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave-owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--\ntd {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":37117446389923,"sku":"9780300251838","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0471\/2156\/3811\/products\/theywereherproperty.png?v=1679839836"},{"product_id":"all-about-love-new-visions-bell-hooks","title":"All About Love","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ebestseller and enduring classic,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll About Love\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the acclaimed first volume in feminist icon bell hooks' \"Love Song to the Nation\" trilogy. \u003cem\u003eAll About Love\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereveals what causes a polarized society, and how to heal the divisions that cause suffering.

Angela Davis provides the historical, social, and political contexts with which to reinterpret the performances and lyrics of Gertrude “Ma” Rainey, Bessie Smith, and Billie Holiday as powerful articulations of an alternative consciousness profoundly at odds with mainstream American culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe works of Rainey, Smith, and Holiday have been largely misunderstood by critics. Overlooked, Davis shows, has been the way their candor and bravado laid the groundwork for an aesthetic that allowed for the celebration of social, moral, and sexual values outside the constraints imposed by middle-class respectability. Through meticulous transcriptions of all the extant lyrics of Rainey and Smith—published here in their entirety for the first time—Davis demonstrates how the roots of the blues extend beyond a musical tradition to serve as a conciousness-raising vehicle for American social memory.
