It's the legacy she's given up her life to protect. With the bank out of mercy and her options gone, her family's oldest enemy, the Adlers, will finally take the Conklin Fields for themselves. But a miracle arrives-one that could save Sunday, her neighbors, and the historic town of Elaine itself. There's just one problem: that miracle comes tangled up with the most infuriating man she's ever met... who belongs right back in Texas where he came from.<\/p>\n<p>SEVEN<\/p>\n<p>Seven Hardcastle can't believe his luck this Christmas, when he's assigned to a middle-of-nowhere Arkansas town. He's ready to return to his perfectly manicured life in Dallas with his wife and kids. All he needs is one signature-Sunday Conklin's. But when the town of Elaine strikes it big, Seven's fate is tied up with that of its most stubborn, maddening, and undeniably magnetic farm-owner. As the town's secrets unravel, and Sunday's fight becomes his own, Seven is handed a Christmas gift he never expected... one that forces him to question his past, his future, and where home truly is.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lula White is the pen name for Shannon Humphrey. She grew up on Confederate Boulevard not far from Sweet Home, Arkansas, fishing with her grandfather, baking with her grandmother, and riding her bicycle to Granite Mountain in her bare feet.<\/p>\n<p>Lula is the original creator of the fictional Black Hamptons with her first romance series, Sag Harbor Black Romances, using her fiction to open conversations on generational wealth and high society that were previously limited to history and sociology texts. In her follow-up, Explore Men of the Hamptons, Lula continued using her creativity to expand our collective self-perception.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She has continued telling the truth in ways that reexamine our potential in The Young and Luxurious, Who\u2019s Lovin\u2019 You and now, The Gift of Us.<\/p>\n<p>Her hunger for life and travel took her from college to Capitol Hill, law school, and now Los Angeles where she is a civil rights litigator and author of over thirty novels. Having traveled the turbulent road of success herself, she is uniquely positioned to fight for indigent families and create worlds where we can have our dreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When she dons her lawyer cape, Shannon is the 40th President of Black Women Lawyers Association of Los Angeles, Inc., a former Deputy District Attorney for the County of Los Angeles, and a former appellate lawyer whose advocacy secured the reversal of several trial courts at the California Court of Appeals.<\/p>\n<p>She was named one of the Top Forty Attorneys Under Forty for the National Bar Association, and is a graduate of the Los Angeles African American Women\u2019s Public Policy Institute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A 2018 writer-in-residence at the prestigious Hedgebrook for women writers in Seattle, whether she writes as Lula or Shannon, or the genre be romance, historical fiction, or science fiction fantasy, she weaves every plot to entertain, inspire, and illuminate our highest selves. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her stories are for every soul ready to claim their heaven on Earth now.

Stories where Black characters are allowed to be flawed, passionate, and deeply human.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a way to process emotions and channel creativity through her own healing journey, slowly evolved into something much bigger: an urge to create and share stories about love, healing, and the complicated paths of life that bring people together. <\/p>\n<p>Her stories often explore themes such as emotional healing, family dynamics, grief and growth, healthy Black love, the courage to begin again. Every story is planted in the belief that love, in all its forms, has the power to change us for the better.<\/p>\n<p>When she\u2019s not reading, Alexandrea can be found working her way through her own TBR, journaling or planning new creative projects, adding recipes to her personal cookbook, and listening to playlists that eventually inspire new stories.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of everything she creates is a simple hope: That readers will find pieces of themselves in her stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kindredstorieshtx.com\/products\/author-talk-the-gift-of-us-with-lula-white-november-6-7-pm\">https:\/\/kindredstorieshtx.com\/products\/author-talk-the-gift-of-us-with-lula-white-november-6-7-pm<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/event?eid=NTJoNG42a2s0Z3RwcTc5MGtrOXA4ZWpwODIgZGQwbzJ2a3Y1aG42MDI5ajE0MTFmb3MxZmdAZw&#038;ctz=America\/Chicago\" target=\"_blank\" >See more details<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li class=\"simcal-event simcal-event-has-location simcal-events-calendar-2353\" style=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\" data-start=\"1794013200\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simcal-event-details\"><h3><strong><span class=\"simcal-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">Film Screening: Dario Robleto, Ancient Beacons Long for Notice<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-date\" data-event-start=\"1794013200\" data-event-format=\"F j, Y\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-11-06T19:00:00-06:00\">November 6, 2026<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-time\" data-event-start=\"1794013200\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-11-06T19:00:00-06:00\">7:00 pm<\/span> - <span class=\"simcal-event-end simcal-event-end-time\" data-event-end=\"1794020400\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"endDate\" content=\"2026-11-06T21:00:00-06:00\">9:00 pm<\/span><br \/>\n <span class=\"simcal-event-address simcal-event-start-location\" itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Place\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Rice University Moody Center For The Arts, 6100 Main Street, 1827, 6100 Main MS-550 MS-480, Houston, TX 77005, USA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"address\" content=\"Rice University Moody Center For The Arts, 6100 Main Street, 1827, 6100 Main MS-550 MS-480, Houston, TX 77005, USA\" \/>Rice University Moody Center For The Arts, 6100 Main Street, 1827, 6100 Main MS-550 MS-480, Houston, TX 77005, USA<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"simcal-event-description\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>Lois Chiles Studio Theater | Free + Open to the Public\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/knk8gh9ab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001iHyUjwraK_YW_pRXpi04cGHilT0zfoL_O9hbY9E4o9p7gpiI_nSYHpDBSpHiKnKpPQ4mtNDkMeNE-9AS1WYOxWVZB5mPiM_AqoHoT2ZI8LH_X4uZX0S1XH8pWBsPEZAD5UxRmWttueFKTsVXauPcT9BDt4P6DHIebxQtXK-X0YeLoIFZKphk6fFb6ky365ys82gYRfjnAaO9ciCyRTf6fYgOkitPxloMde1FmlsW-9L0yZlYo_1QMA==&amp;c=qXHsU3krrB9S_DTNSgR-5FkyBb-ISXxnZ68PssF5mIcZxn4KajqdAQ==&amp;ch=0YRzRRH0nvanfqNkUrrpCU8iCfRH1tYbyI2uJivRPYjjuj5_NWq7Sw==\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Registration Appreciated<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Experience the third installment of a film trilogy by artist Dario Robleto that explores the history and legacy of the Golden Record.

But as scholar Kyle T. Mays insists in <em>When We Are Kin<\/em>, we can and should demand a kind of repair that goes beyond a white supremacist idea of what justice can be.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a series of short essays, Mays traces the history of alliances between Black and Indigenous movements; outlines the limitations of certain demands for reparations, including cash payments, that do not fundamentally critique racial-settler capitalism; and interrogates contemporary land back initiatives that fail to fully address decolonization.

On their new album The Last Balloon, the New Orleans-bred outfit channel those impulses into something celebratory yet profoundly human, exploring themes of frustration, resilience, and self-realization with equal parts raw emotionality and playful exuberance. A shapeshifting collective helmed by lead singer Tarriona \u201cTank\u201d Ball and multi-instrumentalist Norman Spence II, the globally beloved group completed the LP after winning a GRAMMY for 2024\u2019s spoken-word powerhouse The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, moving from incendiary poetry to a euphoric collision of soul and hip-hop and forward-thinking R&amp;B. As the final installment in a trilogy of albums that began with 2019\u2019s Green Balloon (a critical triumph that earned them a GRAMMY nomination for Best New Artist), The Last Balloon ultimately solidifies Tank and the Bangas\u2019 legacy as one of modern music\u2019s most steadfast voices of sublime exhilaration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/event?eid=YzhxajhkOWtjZ3NqNmI5Z2M0cm1jYjlrNmhnamViYjE2a3MzOGJiNTY4cm1jY2IzYzRvbWNkMzFjYyBkZDBvMnZrdjVobjYwMjlqMTQxMWZvczFmZ0Bn&#038;ctz=America\/Chicago\" target=\"_blank\" >See more details<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<\/dd>\n\t<dt class=\"simcal-day-label\" style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;\" ><span style=\"background-color: #000000; color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"simcal-date-format\" data-date-format=\"F j, Y\">November 22, 2026<\/span> <\/span><\/dt>\n<dd class=\"simcal-weekday-0 simcal-past simcal-day simcal-day-has-events simcal-day-has-1-events simcal-events-calendar-2353\" data-events-count=\"1\">\n\t<ul class=\"simcal-events\">\n\t<li class=\"simcal-event simcal-event-has-location simcal-events-calendar-2353\" style=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\" data-start=\"1795392000\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simcal-event-details\"><h3><strong><span class=\"simcal-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">AUTHOR SIGNING: The Thing About Falling with Tarriona &quot;Tank&quot; Ball<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-date\" data-event-start=\"1795392000\" data-event-format=\"F j, Y\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-11-22T18:00:00-06:00\">November 22, 2026<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-time\" data-event-start=\"1795392000\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-11-22T18:00:00-06:00\">6:00 pm<\/span> - <span class=\"simcal-event-end simcal-event-end-time\" data-event-end=\"1795399200\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"endDate\" content=\"2026-11-22T20:00:00-06:00\">8:00 pm<\/span><br \/>\n <span class=\"simcal-event-address simcal-event-start-location\" itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Place\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Kindred Stories, 2310 Elgin St #2, Houston, TX 77004, USA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"address\" content=\"Kindred Stories, 2310 Elgin St #2, Houston, TX 77004, USA\" \/>Kindred Stories, 2310 Elgin St #2, Houston, TX 77004, USA<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"simcal-event-description\" itemprop=\"description\"><p dir=\"ltr\">Celebrate Tarriona's latest poetry collection,\u00a0<em>The Thing About Falling<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><b><u><a href=\"https:\/\/kindredstorieshtx.com\/products\/author-signing-the-thing-about-falling-with-tarriona-tank-ball-november-22-6-pm?_pos=1&amp;_sid=fee0a74d0&amp;_ss=r\">Tickets &amp; More Info Here<\/a><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><b>EVENT DEETS<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">RSVP WITH BOOK\u00a0to reserve your seat and purchase a copy\u00a0The\u00a0<em>Thing About Falling<\/em>, supporting both the author and our store programming.\u00a0The book will be available for pickup at the event.<\/li>\n<li>RSVP WITH POETRY BUNDLE\u00a0to reserve your seat and purchase a copies of\u00a0The\u00a0<em>Thing About Falling and Vulnerale AF<\/em>, supporting both the author and our store programming.\u00a0The book will be available for pickup at the event.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><b>This event will include a live book signing and photo opportunity.
