work out. Lily will drink the blood of the village maidens -- and

"Whatever happens to Barnabas, you'll still have Quentin to reckon
with! Dr. Bentley sneered. "The werewolf? If Quentin tries to
interfere with me, I'll find a way to deal with him. Lily added,
"Better come over to our side, luv. "I'd rather die," Paula said

zombies, if you will. Then you could be truly useful to me."

moving through the shadows at her bedside. "Ellen!" Her name was
whispered hoarsely, but she recognized the voice. It was Aunt
Kate's. "What's wrong?" Ellen asked, getting out of bed. "Dying..."
Ellen sprang to her and eased her aunt down on the bed. "What is
it?" "Danger...vampire." Ellen found matches and lit the candle on
her bedside table. As she studied her aunt's death-like face in the
flickering light she was appalled. "I must rouse the others and get
a doctor." "Too late," Aunt Kate whispered. "I'm dying. Don't stay
here. Find Barnabas...leave tonight."

A companion to the author's "Success Factors of Young African
American Males" (1998), this study examines the historical,
sociological, and psychological adversity that African American
women have had to transcend. This volume contains case studies of
young African American women. The young women share their
experiences and insights and show how they have overcome
considerable obstacles and persevered in obtaining a college
education at an historically black college.The author compares,
contrasts, and analyzes the comments of both groups, male and
female, and their affect on each other.
The book includes first-person narrations of young women,
growing up in an inner city environment. From the voices and
perspectives of college students, readers will become aware of the
obstacles still plaguing black youth. Their individual interviews
include accounts of violence, murder, poverty, unwed motherhood,
prostitution, drug abuse, one-parent homes, and lack of role
models.
At a time when American society is desperately seeking to create
hope for inner city black youth, this study serves as a tool to
encourage those responsible for teaching and socializing young
African-American males, who may feel they have little chance for
success. The study involved 17 African-American male students at a
historically black college in Miami, Florida. These students had
great desire to achieve and did so despite daunting obstacles such
as neighborhoods plagued with drugs, gangs, and crime. Interviewing
students at the moment in their lives when they had successfully
advanced beyond their environment, the author helps them to analyze
their past in an honest manner.
The case studies of the individuals reveal that family is the
most relevant factor in the student's success; particularly, the
presence of one person who cares and encourages the young man is
vital. In President Clinton's speech to the NAACP in July 1997, he
remarked, I am tired of being told that children cannot succeed
because of the difficulties of their circumstances. All we do is
consign them to staying in the same circumstances. It is wrong.
Through the stories of these students who have overcome their odds,
this book can serve as an inspiration for younger African-American
males to prevail over their own hardships.
