Excerpt from The Many Lessons of the Mother Prophet:
​
“A silhouette of a wolf stood high in the sky.
The earth shook as the upturned head of the red-eyed animal howled. The moonlit night gave little clue that life existed upon the land. Fog blanketed the earth’s surface, allowing no glimpse of it. On a night that loomed bleak and dreary, the bones of the dead, rattled deep down inside dark graves as they rose to sit upon the earth. A golden-eyed owl perched high on the limb of a leafless tree. Its bright eyes shone for all that journeyed forth in the dead of the night. Winged fowls flew through the night air in answer to the wolf’s call.
​
Marine life swirled around in every body of water. Silent footsteps moved across the land as the spirits of animals, large and small, howled in their voices, acknowledging this long-awaited gathering.
​
It was the night of the rebirth of the Mother Prophet to walk upon the earth again.”

Sex, love, violence, and hate are the table seasonings of this world, says author Helen Collier with Meow at The Helm. With these seasonings in hand, she penned Ms. Anna and the Tears from the Healing Tree, a romance that works to shed social stigmas associated with interracial relationships.
Romance, mystery, and fantasy woven together in a story that takes many surprising twists all the way to the end. As the characters dip into new relationships, Collier challenges stereotypes and explores the intricacies of interracial romances.
The political and cultural explorations of race and stereotypes are featured prominently in the story, but Collier also uses elements of fantasy to reveal the spiritually charged motivations of her characters.
Excerpt:
Anna's heart staggered. She looked at the scar just below his hairline and wondered how it happened. This man was the only part of her past still intact, thanks to the Old Head. Tucked away safe in her dreams where not even her mother could hurt them. Finding him in that apartment near death had shattered her heart. Seeing him struggle to rise and feeling his body tremble and his tears flow when nightmares shook him, touched her in a way she could not explain. Lying in bed with her arms wrapped around him, she assured him that she would never leave him.

Mrs. Johnnie Bea is one of those women, but it is what she does with the other hours of her day that are important. Her story is one of history, change, legacies, beans, and a better future through community.
