Hardback. Condition: Fair. "This is an excellent examination of the ways wealth, gender, and color can shape and at times create mental and emotional fractures. Verdict: A great title for public and high school libraries looking for books that offer a ­nuanced look at patriarchy, wealth, and gender dynamics." --School Library Journal (starred review) "Bromfield may have made a name for herself for her role on Riverdale, but with this debut, about a volatile father-daughter relationship and discovering the ugly truths hidden beneath even the most beautiful facades, she is establishing herself as a promising writer.this is a must." --Booklist (starred review) In this sweeping debut, Asha Bromfield takes readers to the heart of Jamaica, and into the soul of a girl coming to terms with her family, and herself, set against the backdrop of a hurricane. Tilla has spent her entire life trying to make her father love her. But every six months, he leaves their family and returns to his true home: the island of Jamaica. When Tilla's mother tells her she'll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him. In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise--all in the midst of an impending hurricane. Hurricane Summer is a powerful coming of age story that deals with colorism, classism, young love, the father-daughter dynamic--and what it means to discover your own voice in the center of complete destruction.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Change America could believe in had arrived. Hailed as the most promising political figure in a generation, Barack Obama rode the emotion of the words, Yes, We Can, into the Oval Office. America's first black President. He was the undisputed winner in a historic election. A man poised to usher America into a new era. After eight years as leader of the free world, did his promise match the reality? - Is America better off? - Did the country move into a new era? - Were the lives of his most ardent supporters, African-Americans, better under their President? In this insightful review of the Obama Era, African-American writer, Kiara Ashanti delves into the Obama Presidency to answer those questions. Written from the point of view of a black man, Ashanti details the policy mis-hits, economic mistakes, and partisan insistence that crippled the country's first black President. A focused and pointed read, Commander-in-Failure, zeroes in on the end results of Obama's decisions, not the rhetoric. It conveys the frustrations of a fellow African-American, as he watched the promises made to America and blacks never materialize. How did Yes, We Can turn into No, We Didn't? Easy to read and laser targeted on the top issues, Commander, explains what went wrong, why, and how the failures of America's first black President, possibly lead to the country's most polarizing President; Donald J. Trump.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Pauli Murray was a trailblazer who spent her life fighting for civil rights and women's rights. Writer, lawyer, activist, priest, Pauli was a champion for justice. Her extraordinary life is immortalized in this riveting biography told in verse. "Pauli Murray was brilliant, outspoken, and committed to achieving dignity and equality for all under the law. Rising from poverty, Murray challenged pervasive race and sex discrimination and helped launch the two most important movements of the Twentieth Century: civil rights and women's rights. This new biography capsulizes important events and accomplishments of an iconoclast who would not take 'No' for an answer. Young readers will be drawn to the story of Pauli's bravery and pivotal role in history." -- Christian F. Nunes, President, National Organization for Women "This is a compelling biography of an 'unsung force'-an inspiring and transformative figure who broke barriers pivotal to both the civil rights and women's movements."--Horn Book Magazine "This inspiring biography in verse aims to promote the life and work of the lesser-known yet influential Black civil rights activist and feminist."--Booklist Reviews Pauli Murray was a thorn in the side of white America demanding justice and equal treatment for all. She was a queer civil rights and women's rights activist before any movement advocated for either--the brilliant mind that, in 1944, conceptualized the arguments that would win Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka; and in 1964, the arguments that won women equality in the workplace. Throughout her life, she fought for the oppressed, not only through changing laws, but by using her powerful prose to influence those who could affect change. She lived by her convictions and challenged authority to demand fairness and justice regardless of the personal consequences. Without seeking acknowledgment, glory, or financial gain for what she did, Pauli Murray fought in the trenches for many of the rights we take for granted. Her goal was human rights and the dignity of life for all. Fortson, Ashanti (illustrator). …
