Reading and signing by Barbara Summers, editor of Open the Unusual Door: True Life Stories of Challenge, Adventure, and Success by Black Americans, a new young adult anthology.

Come hear inspiring stories of successful African Americans, share your story of success and learn how to enter the Open the Unusual Door Essay Contest for a chance to win cash prizes! Bring the young people in your life to experience the world of books and reading!

Open the Unusual Door: True Life Stories of Adventure, Challenge, and Success by Black Americans (Houghton Mifflin, November 2005) is an inspiring anthology aimed at youth ages 13 and up. Barbara Summers, educator, former Ford model, and author of Black and Beautiful: How Women of Color Changed the Fashion Industry, culled sixteen autobiographical essays from a diverse group of African Americans—some famous and others perhaps less well known but equally well respected in their fields—and collected them in this inspirational and thought-provoking anthology that demonstrates how to recognize the many faces of opportunity.

OPEN THE UNUSUAL DOOR ESSAY CONTEST
To harvest literary excitement among teens and emphasize the vital connection between reading and writing, Barbara Summers, in association with Graphia/Houghton Mifflin, is sponsoring the Open the Unusual Door Essay Contest. “Nothing is more fascinating than true life stories”, says Barbara Summers, “what's yours?”

A first, second and third prize of $500, $300, and $200, respectively, will be awarded to the most compelling and best written essays by young people from ag es 13 to 18. For more information on how to enter, visit http://www.opentheunusualdoor.com/contest.htm.
