Publisher's Notes
Sam Fine moved from Chicago to New York at the age of seventeen, determined to pursue a career in fashion illustration. To finance his education, he worked behind a cosmetic counter in a midtown department store. There, Sam found he had entered the "real school of beauty." Instructing and advising his customers, Sam discovered his gift, and soon he was assisting New York's best makeup artists. Today, at the age of twenty-eight, Sam is a star in his own right and the first black makeup artist to be hired as a Revlon spokesperson. When the biggest names in the beauty industry need to look their best, they demand Sam Fine. He works regularly with supermodels Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, Veronica Webb, and Iman, as well as superstars like Vanessa Williams, Patti LaBelle, and the young R&B sensation Brandy. Now, Sam shares his beauty secrets with African-American women everywhere in Fine Beauty. This lavishly illustrated book offers tips on all the beauty fundamentals-blush, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, etc.-with clear, step-by-step instructions. In addition, Sam provides a section of phenomenal makeovers, which he uses to show how his techniques work on real people, too. Also included is a scrapbook section of behind-the-scenes peeks at Sam on location with the superstars. There are examples of the finished shots they were preparing for, as well as handwritten notes and candid Polaroids. While fashion and popular culture have experienced a color revolution in the last decade, a beauty guide specifically for women of color is woefully overdue. As this celebrity-filled book proves, Sam Fine is the man to teach every black woman how to look her most beautiful.

Jackie Collins' "American Star" is a love story for the nineties. At its heart are two extraordinary lovers, separated by tragic circumstances, yearning for each other, yet seemingly never able to be together again. Nick and Lauren can never forget each other. Teenage small-town lovers-- he from the wrong side of the tracks, she the prettiest girl in town-- their love was the town scandal, forbidden, sizzling and unforgettable, ending abruptly in a tragedy that sent them into separate orbits. Nick pursues his dream of acting, and after a series of wild adventures begins the slow rise that will make him one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Lauren goes to New York and enters the modeling world, surprising everyone with a career that takes off in a direction she never expected.

Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle
by Nora Deloach
Mamas back on the case, sniffing out dark, tragic secrets...and a killer.Not much happens in Otis, South Carolina (pop. 5,000) that Mama, a caseworker for the Department of Social Services, doesnt know about. Mamas given name is Grace Covington, but everyone calls her Candi--for the honeyed color of her complexion, not her cooking (which is second to none from Otis all the way to Atlanta, where I work as a paralegal). I usually go home when I need some truly soul-satisfying eating. But this time I was heading back to Otis to help Mama after her bunion operation. I had no idea wed end up knee-deep in somebody elses trouble....It all seemed to start when Mama and I were shopping for groceries and crazy old Miss Birdie stole Cricket Childs tiny baby, causing a scene between the two women everyone in town heard about. It wasnt twenty-four hours later that Cricket, known as a lady who liked wild times and wilder men, turned up murdered in a fellows bed. Even worse, Crickets baby had vanished.To add to the chilling events, my Daddys wandering dog Midnight dug up something shocking: an infants skull. And not long after Mama rushed it over to Sheriff Abes office, Midnight brought home another. Naturally, he couldnt tell us where he got them...and the mystery deepened.So no way Mama wasnt going to start snooping. And with the doctor ordering her off her feet, I ended up doing some legwork. But its a good thing I still had two good feet, because before long, I was running for my life...as babies cries and women's tears mingled in a crime fueled by motives as ancient as human memory--greed, jealousy, and old-fashioned revenge.In Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle, Nora DeLoach captures the warmth of family life in the deep South...and the icy tingling of superb suspense. And in Mama she has created a woman sleuth as filled with compassion as courage, wise in the ways of the human heart--and the criminal mind.
