Sisters and Secrets. Eighteen years ago, Cass Deason Myers ran away
from home and heartbreak. Now she's running away again, this time
to the home she left behind. A preacher's wife, Cass finds herself
questioning her faith and her marriage. Her sister's phone call
asking for help with their mother provides the perfect opportunity
to escape. Anna Deason-Fite-Turner doesn't want or need help for
herself or her three daughters. But her mother is another story all
together. Calling Cass is a last resort. But when Anna finds the
bottle of pills in Momma's dresser drawer, she knows she has to
call her sister. Unfortunately, Anna knows once Cass is home the
whispers will start, and once again, everyone in town will compare
perfect Cass to her failure of a sister, even though she's the one
who stayed behind. Grace is Enough: a story about family, faith and
the redemptive power of love.
This volume is designed to illuminate the educational experiences
of Black women, from the time they earn their high school diplomas
through graduate study, with a particular focus on their doctoral
studies, by exploring the commonalities and the uniqueness of their
individual paths and challenges. The chapters of this volume newly
identify key factors and experiences that shape Black women's
engagement or disengagement with higher education. The original
research presented here - using an array of theoretical lenses, as
well as qualitative and quantitative methods - not only deepens our
understanding of the experiences of African American women in the
academy, but also seeks to strengthen the academic pipeline, not
only for the benefit of those who may have felt disenfranchised in
the past, but for all students. The contributors eschew the
deficit-focused approach - that implies a lack of social and
cultural capital based on prior educational experiences - adopted
by many studies of non-dominant groups in education, and instead
focus on the strengths and experiences of their subjects. Among
their findings is the identification of the social capital that
Black women are given and actively acquire in their pre-collegiate
years that enable them to gain greater returns on their educational
investments than their male peers. The book further describes the
assistance and the interference African American women receive from
their peers during their transition to college, and how peer
interactions shape their early college experiences, and influence
subsequent persistence decisions. Whether studying how Black women
in the social and natural sciences navigate through this often
rocky terrain, or uncovering the extent to which African American
women doctoral students access postsecondary education through
community colleges, and their special needs for more mentoring and
advising support, this book provides researchers and graduate
students with rich information on how to successfully engage and
succeed in the doctoral process. It also demonstrates to women
faculty and administrators how they can become better navigators,
guides, and advocates for the African American women who come after
them.
