Which End Is Up?
Grace Campisi had lived her whole life according to plan, but her sister Perry--aka "The Screwup"--was more of a live-for-the-moment kind of girl. Which could explain how she showed up nine months pregnant, sans husband, boyfriend or money. The question was, what was Grace, her type A attorney sister (on the partner track), going to do about it?
What, indeed, as it fast became clear to Grace that Perry was not cut out for motherhood--especially when she ran off, leaving a six-week-old baby girl behind. So in order to stick to her plan, Grace could either A) track down her wayward sister, or B) put her niece up for adoption.

Winnie All Day Long with Book by Leda Schubert, ISBN 0763607746
A man who cannot swim leaps off a slave ship into the dark water. A girl difies the law by secretly learning to read and write. A future abolitionist regains his will to live by fighting off his captor with his bare hands: "I will not let you use me like a brute any longer, " Frederick Douglass vows.
Drawing from authentic accounts, here is a chronology of resistance in all its forms: comical trickster tales about outwitting "Old Marsa"; secret "hush harbors" where Africans instill Christian worship with their own rituals; and spirituals such as "Go Down Moses, " whose coded lyrics signal not just hope for deliverance, but an active call to escape.
Boldly illustrated with extraordinary oil paintings by award-winning artist Shane W. Evans, and meticulously researched by Doreen Rappaport, this stunning collection -- spanning the period from the early days of slavery to the Emancipation Proclamation -- is an invaluable resource for teachers, parents, libraries, students, and people everywhere...

The more-than-merrier ensemble includes Richard Mulligan ("Soap", "Empty Nest") as a nutcase warden named Mongo, John Vernon (the sinister Dean Wormer of "Animal House"), Jimmy Walker ("Good Times"), Colleen Camp ("Valley Girl"), veteran movie tough guy Mike Mazurki and the champ himself: Muhammad Ali, giving a rousing ringside pep talk at the inevitable prison boxing match! When "Animal House" meets the big house, you'll discover that humor is the greatest escape of all. Set aside time for "Doin' Time.
