The first novella of the trilogy that introduces our main character and protagonist, Jacob Peter Manor, in his formative years.

Join the Manor children, Big Brother, Jacob, Elsie and Dabney as they embark upon a brand new city adventure.

The blog post this week is directed toward the consumers,  yes, the customers. We have a tendency to be very hard on the merchants in our community. We place more stringent rules and guidelines for patronage on our local merchants than on the larger stores and mall merchants we often frequent.

While we often hear of late breaking stories on the local news and media channels, we want to post late breaking news and accomplishments of the people who make up the communities (our villages) who are not always afforded the opportunity to be recognized.

On August 15 we will launch the new forum hosted by Jacob's Rite of Passage entitled, "The Village Spotlight." In keeping with the theme of "It STILL takes a village to raise a child. It's time to reclaim the village," we have decided to spotlight some of the people in our community, with a focus on our young people.

If you want to recommend a Village Spotlight, please go to our submissions page and submit your story. After editorial review we will contact you with the date it will be published to our blog.

Instructions. Please submit the following:

• • • A written piece, 500 words or less, to include
      • the name, age and relevant information about the nominee
      • why you are nominating them as the village spotlight.
    • A photo.

The distribution of your written piece, if approved, will be included on the website, in our monthly newsletter, and on our facebook page. Your email address is required so we can notify you.

Let's make a difference! Be a part of reclaiming our village. Nominate a village spotlight! 

In keeping with our theme of the village, it is my pleasure and unique honor to spotlight this amazing visionary, Hope Hollinsworth Coaxum. We met intially when she inquired about some of our design services for her second novel and have been sister-friends and business associates ever since.  I am so blessed by her testimonies of overcoming and willingness to reach out and reach back and help others overcome.

Hope is really a remarkable young woman who hosts a broad range of talents and interests. She wears all of her multiple hats quite well, woman, wife, mother, activist, author, playwright, director, employer, publisher, just to name a few. She is also active in her local church and community, and spearheads many outreach initiatives in the Yonkers area. 

We want to thank her for allowing us to spotlight her. I pray that her sharing will spill over into the lives of others, that they too may be inspired.

"Where there's a need for hope, is where you'll find Hope."

As Editor-in-chief it is my distinct pleasure to uphold our mission and maintain our standard of excellence and integrity.

Our mission is to publish literary works that reinforce the foundation and priorities of GOD, FAMILY and COMMUNITY. Through all creative avenues of written expression, we aim to touch individual lives that shape families, reclaim our communities, and impact nations.

Thank you all for your contributions and support around our vision.
