Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION A brilliant, haunting and unforgettable memoir from a stunning new talent about the inexorable pull of home and family, set in a shotgun house in New Orleans East. In 1961, Sarah M. Broom’s mother Ivory Mae bought a shotgun house in the then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East and built her world inside of it. It was the height of the Space Race and the neighborhood was home to a major NASA plant—the postwar optimism seemed assured. Widowed, Ivory Mae remarried Sarah’s father Simon Broom; their combined family would eventually number twelve children. But after Simon died, six months after Sarah’s birth, the Yellow House would become Ivory Mae’s thirteenth and most unruly child. A book of great ambition, Sarah M. Broom’s The Yellow House tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of America’s most mythologized cities. This is the story of a mother’s struggle against a house's entropy, and that of a prodigal daughter who left home only to reckon with the pull that home exerts, even after the Yellow House was wiped off the map after Hurricane Katrina. The Yellow House expands the map of New Orleans to include the stories of its lesser known natives, guided deftly by one of its native daughters, to demonstrate how enduring drives of clan, pride, and familial love resist and defy erasure. Located in the gap between the “Big Easy” of tourist guides and the New Orleans in which Broom was raised, The Yellow House is a brilliant memoir of place, class, race, the seeping rot of inequality, and the internalized shame that often follows. It is a transformative, deeply moving story from an unparalleled new voice of startling clarity, authority, and power.

Book Description
First you marry a man who does not want children. He cheats and you divorce him. Then you marry the love of your life and find out he does not want to have children with you either. The three he has are more than enough. Although you always wanted to be a mother, you decide he is worth the sacrifice, expecting to have a long happy life together. But that's not what happens. This is the story of how a woman becomes childless by marriage and how it affects every aspect of her life. This is the book of my heart, the one I had to write. Ever since I realized I was not going to have children, I have felt recurring grief and an emptiness in my heart. I am different from most women, but I have found that I am not alone. There are many of us childless women, and I think it's important to share our stories about what it's like when you don't have children in a world where most girls grow up to become mothers. I hope this book offers comfort to those who are childless and understanding to those who are not. If it makes you smile here and there, even better.

Book Description
This book analyzes stories of university early childhood faculty members, community activists in southern California, and children and the early childhood teacher education students working with them. The grounding of this research is reconceptualization of postmodern narrative theoretical influences. Through narrative inquiry, the book connects ongoing research to ongoing pedagogy. It explores the following research questions: (1) How do learners across generations create, build upon, and reinvent each other’s stories to make new meanings through consideration of family history, multigenerational knowledge, and experiences?; (2) How do learners’ stories offer new possibilities through leadership that connects Global South knowledge with Global North contexts?; (3) In what ways is it possible to use this framework and methodology in Higher Education to promote systemic consistency in promoting social justice that is generatively inclusive? More than half of the research participants have truly lived bi-culturally, many of the children in the early care and education programs in the USA are from Mexico and Central America. These collaborators truly carry their roots with them as they strive for justice and authenticity in early childhood teacher education and community activists working with families and children.

Book Description
It is a story about the life of one man, his family, and his friends as they lived out these changing times. It is a sometimes humorous but romantic saga, some history with slices of gallantry, heroism, and bigotry, but in the end, huge amounts of love. And while this is an autobiography, it also tells facts—not fiction—about the times and happenings during this period in our country. Maybe you’ll see something that brings back your own personal memories. Follow the life of this ordinary man, as he lived it. According to Harry

Book Description
"The Auntie Sewing Squad Guide to Mask Making, Radical Care, and Racial Justice is a community manifesto of essays, poems, recipes, and art describing people who stepped up in the absence of government leadership. In March 2020, when the US government failed to provide personal protective equipment in the face of COVID-19, the Auntie Sewing Squad emerged to meet a critical need--sewing masks--and to critique the US government failure to protect the public's health. Led primarily by Asian American women and other women of color, including some who learned to sew from refugee mothers and grandmothers working in sweatshops, the Auntie Sewing Squad openly tells a history of exploited immigrant labor, while turning it on its head. The Auntie Sewing Squad became a cadre of dispersed mask-sewers who nimbly funneled masks to asylum seekers, indigenous communities, incarcerated people, and many others in need of protection. Sewing masks became a way not only to meet a public health need, but also to come together in mutual aid and to support cross-racial solidarity and political action in a moment of social upheaval"--

Book Description
The only limits to what you can do are the ones you impose on yourself. From fond memories of growing up in her native Romania and the social changes of the communist regime of Nicolae Ceausescu to shocking captivity and abuse at the hands of her father in the United States, Dr. Kiprono details her eventual escape to freedom, independence, and success. Once free of her father, Dr. Kiprono’s hard work, determination, and positivity allowed her to overcome circumstances that most people cannot imagine. Dr. Kiprono’s message of hope and positivity to all women is that they are worthy, their goals matter, and the only limit on them are the ones they impose on themselves. As proof of this, Dr. Kiprono fulfilled her life-long dream of becoming a doctor and now specializes in high-risk pregnancies. She now shares the knowledge and wisdom she gained with the world and women—especially women who have felt the weight of evil and isolation. Her memoir and debut work will stun and inspire readers in equal measure. “We may be marked by our past, but we are not defined by it . . .Dr. Luissa K relentlessly pursued her own pathway. Now, she realizes a magnificent reality of doing something for others . . . Accept her invitation to stop sifting through the ashes of events of your life and follow her as a reliable guide to the construction of a new you. Her heroism and bravery are infectious. Catch them!” —Scott Wiggins, Brigadier General, USAF (Ret) “Luissa’s inspiring story invites us to follow the life of a young and beautiful woman who is both tested and encouraged . . . “ —Amy Cathey, Ph.D. Dean, Graduate & Executive Education, Haslam College of Business, University of Tennessee, Knoxville “ . . . Her journey provides a roadmap to all who suffer and offers a way out through a deep commitment to an inspirational vision.” —Roger Saillant, Ph.D. Author of The Power of Being Seen, Entrepreneur, Executive Leader “Push, Then Breathe challenges and inspires readers with its unflinching honesty and heartfelt grace . . “ —Brian Lawrence, PhD. MEd, MA, Keystone School, San Antonio, TX From Push, Then Breathe "... the walls I had raised within my soul were built out of something stronger than brick and mortar and meant to protect the single most beautiful seedling left: hope. A belief that one day I could achieve the only dream left unbroken, unspoiled, unhurt. These walls were built out of my beautiful childhood and adolescence in Romania, the daily normalcy, the simple truths, the sun’s bright light, the wishes made with every New Moon—Craiul Nou. The multicolor of the fragrant roses I strolled by, the green of the trees I rested under, the dewy grass I walked on barefoot by the riverbanks of the Danube, the church mass songs I prayed, the Habanera aria I hummed, the carefree laughs, and the peaceful dreamy nights. All these experiences intertwined with the love poured over me for the first eighteen years and eleven months of my life in Romania to keep me from crumbling. And once everything seemed lost, I created anchors in my new life: the 59-second lifelines with Mom, the letters, the recipes, the college classes, my little Suzette, the two brief trips home. These experiences continued to feed my living walls to keep me sane, focused, and hopeful. This was meant to be my walk through the valley of the shadows, and I would make it to the other side.” Luissa Kiprono is passionate about helping women believe in and achieve goals that seem impossible to reach. She is a physician and high-risk pregnancy specialist, as well as the founder of World Gateway Perinatal Consultants & TeleMed MFM, which provides virtual medical care for high-risk pregnancies. Luissa is the founder and CEO of Dr. Luissa K humanitarian foundation. She is on a mission to Empower Women Everywhere to find their voice and fight against inequality, violence and abuse, and prevail against injustice. She is an avid triathlete, multiple long-distance Ironman® races finisher, and mother of two. Luissa lives In Texas with her husband, mother, two sons, and their two cats, Skylar and Tigress.
