Suffrage: Women's Long Battle for the Vote
by Ellen Carol Dubois
Distinguished historian Ellen Carol DuBois begins in the pre-Civil War years with foremothers Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Sojourner Truth as she explores the links of the woman suffrage movement to the abolition of slavery. After the Civil War, Congress granted freed African American men the right to vote but not white and African American women, a crushing disappointment. DuBois shows how suffrage leaders persevered through the Jim Crow years into the reform era of Progressivism. She introduces new champions Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, who brought the fight into the 20th century, and she shows how African American women, led by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, demanded voting rights even as white suffragists ignored them.
DuBois explains how suffragists built a determined coalition of moderate lobbyists and radical demonstrators in forging a strategy of winning voting rights in crucial states to set the stage for securing suffrage for all American women in the Constitution. In vivid prose DuBois describes suffragists’ final victories in Congress and state legislatures, culminating in the last, most difficult ratification, in Tennessee.
DuBois follows women’s efforts to use their voting rights to win political office, increase their voting strength, and pass laws banning child labor, ensuring maternal health, and securing greater equality for women.

Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815-1897
by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences 1815–1897
, is one of the great American autobiographies. There is really no other American woman’s autobiography in the nineteenth century that comes near it in relevance, excellence, and historical significance.
In 1848, thirty-three-year-old Stanton and four others organized the first major women’s rights meeting in American history. Together with Susan B. Anthony, her partner in the cause, she led the campaign for women’s legal rights, most prominently woman suffrage, for the rest of the century. In those years, Stanton was the movement’s spokeswoman, theorist, and its visionary. In addition to her suffrage activism, she was a pioneering advocate of women’s reproductive freedom, and a ceaseless critic of religious misogyny. As the mother of seven, she also had pronounced opinions on women’s domestic responsibilities, especially on raising children.
In
Eighty Years and More
, Stanton reminisces about dramatic moments in the history of woman suffrage, about her personal challenges and triumphs, and about the women and men she met in her travels around the United States and abroad.
Stanton’s writing retains its vigor, intelligence, and wit. Much of what she had to say about women, their lives, their frustrations, their aspirations and their possibilities, remains relevant and moving today.

The Leprechaun's Big Pot of Gold
by Patricia Reeder Eubank
A shamrock-shaped board book by the author and illustrator of ABCs of Halloween, just in time for Saint Patrick's Day. What good is a pot of gold if you can't remember where you buried it? That is the precise question on the mind of this frustrated little leprechaun, whose mood could not be more glum as a result. He follows rainbows in vain each afternoon and fiddles sad songs alone in his cottage at night. But in the midst of his frantic searches for his pot of gold, he happens upon a big, fluffy dog he names Goldie and then a beautiful cat, Rainbow. What he discovers along the way is something much more precious than gold — true friendship, what he has really been searching for all along. This sweet tale of friendship and luck is illustrated with the detailed, lush paintings of Patricia Reeder Eubank.

Writers and Lovers
by Lily King
(signed copies available!)
Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death, and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she’s been writing for six years. At thirty-one, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life. When she falls for two very different men at the same time, her world fractures even more. Casey’s fight to fulfill her creative ambitions and balance the conflicting demands of art and life is challenged in ways that push her to the brink.
Writers & Lovers
follows Casey—a smart and achingly vulnerable protagonist—in the last days of a long youth, a time when every element of her life comes to a crisis. Written with King’s trademark humor, heart, and intelligence,
Writers & Lovers
is a transfixing novel that explores the terrifying and exhilarating leap between the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another.

The Yellow Bird Sings
by Jennifer Rosner
In Poland, as World War II rages, a mother hides with her young daughter, a musical prodigy whose slightest sound may cost them their lives.
As Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town, Róza and her 5-year-old daughter, Shira, flee, seeking shelter in a neighbor’s barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night, Shira struggles to stay still and quiet, as music pulses through her and the farmyard outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time, Róza tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden:
The girl is forbidden from making a sound, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo; low-throated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom.
In this make-believe world, Róza can shield Shira from the horrors that surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no longer safe, and Róza must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side or give her the chance to survive apart.
Inspired by the true stories of Jewish children hidden during World War II, Jennifer Rosner’s debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting,
The Yellow Bird Sings
is a testament to the triumph of hope—a whispered story, a bird’s song—in even the darkest of times.

Cherokee America
by Margaret Verble
It’s the early spring of 1875 in the Cherokee Nation West. A baby, a black hired hand, a bay horse, a gun, a gold stash, and a preacher have all gone missing. Cherokee America Singer, known as “Check,” a wealthy farmer, mother of five boys, and soon-to-be widow, is not amused.
In this epic of the American frontier, several plots intertwine around the heroic and resolute Check: her son is caught in a compromising position that results in murder; a neighbor disappears; another man is killed. The tension mounts and the violence escalates as Check’s mixed race family, friends, and neighbors come together to protect their community—and painfully expel one of their own.
Cherokee America
vividly, and often with humor, explores the bonds—of blood and place, of buried histories and half-told tales, of past grief and present injury—that connect a colorful, eclectic cast of characters, anchored by the clever, determined, and unforgettable Check.

The Nation City: Why Mayors Are Now Running the World
by Rahm Emanuel
At a time of anxiety about the effectiveness of our national government, Rahm Emanuel provides a clear vision, for both progressives and centrists, of how to get things done in America today—a bracing, optimistic vision of America's future from one of our most experienced and original political minds.
In
The Nation City
, Rahm Emanuel, former two-term mayor of Chicago and White House Chief of Staff for President Barack Obama, offers a firsthand account of how cities, rather than the federal government, stand at the center of innovation and effective governance. Drawing on his own experiences in Chicago, and on his relationships with other mayors around America, Emanuel provides dozens of examples to show how cities are improving education, infrastructure, job conditions, and environmental policy at a local level.
Emanuel argues that cities are the most ancient political institutions, dating back thousands of years and have reemerged as the nation-states of our time. He makes clear how mayors are accountable to their voters to a greater degree than any other elected officials and illuminates how progressives and centrists alike can best accomplish their goals by focusing their energies on local politics.
The Nation City
maps out a new, energizing, and hopeful way forward.

Chain of Gold
by Cassandra Clare
Cordelia Carstairs is a Shadowhunter, a warrior trained since childhood to battle demons. When her father is accused of a terrible crime, she and her brother travel to London in hopes of preventing the family’s ruin. Cordelia’s mother wants to marry her off, but Cordelia is determined to be a hero rather than a bride. Soon Cordelia encounters childhood friends James and Lucie Herondale and is drawn into their world of glittering ballrooms, secret assignations, and supernatural salons, where vampires and warlocks mingle with mermaids and magicians. All the while, she must hide her secret love for James, who is sworn to marry someone else.
But Cordelia’s new life is blown apart when a shocking series of demon attacks devastate London. These monsters are nothing like those Shadowhunters have fought before—these demons walk in daylight, strike down the unwary with incurable poison, and seem impossible to kill. London is immediately quarantined. Trapped in the city, Cordelia and her friends discover that their own connection to a dark legacy has gifted them with incredible powers—and forced a brutal choice that will reveal the true cruel price of being a hero.

The Velvet Rope Economy: How Inequality Became Big Business
by Nelson D. Schwartz
You hear the phrase income inequality all the time but this was a very interesting look at how business is actually adapting to this new normal and some of the long-term consequences that may entail. The author and I agree that the Great Recession and slow recovery was the immediate catalyst for many of the trends he documents, though we disagree about the policies that caused/will prevent another recession. Recommended for anyone interested in business or the economy.

Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury
I don't know how I went so long without reading this, but wow, what an incredible book. I'm generally not a huge dystopian fan, but
Fahrenheit 451
is absolutely brilliant. Set in a world where books are illegal and firefighters set fires instead of putting them out, this book is one that sticks with you long after you read the final page. It's filled with parallels of our world today, and is such a thought-provoking exploration of technology, privacy, desensitization and censorship. A fascinating book that I think everyone should read.

Bells for Eli
by Susan Beckham Zurenda
Zurenda’s debut is a Southern novel in every sense: a secret-filled small town, tormented characters, surprise plot developments. She brings to life the very believable romance between first cousins Eli and Adeline. The two develop a strong bond after Eli has a life-threatening accident at a very young age. Zurenda writes convincingly against the backdrop of the happenings of the 60s and 70s, including the Vietnam War and the emerging drug culture of that time. This is a strong novel, and hopefully we will read much more from Zurenda in the years to come.

You Are Not Alone

I am speechless. I cannot believe that Greer and Sarah have written a thriller better than their first two combined. Shay is a nice, normal young woman who just can’t seem to get a break. She is on her way to the subway one morning and stops and takes time to put her hair up in a ponytail. 22 seconds is all it takes but that is enough for her to arrive at the subway platform just as the train pulls away. It is then that she sees another woman who also just missed the train. As the next train approaches she watches in horror as the woman jumps to her death. 22 seconds is all it takes for Shay’s nightmare to begin; only she doesn’t yet know what a nightmare it will become. You will not be able to put this one down so don’t start it until you have time to read it straight through

This one is part travelogue, part religious history and all adventure. As we have grown accustomed to, Cotton Malone brings us into a story full of intrigue, exciting twists and edge of your seat anticipation as Cotton becomes entwined in a plot that threatens to disrupt the Polish government in a way that could have dire implications to Europe and threaten serious implications between Russian and American interests. The cleverly conceived plot is at the same time preposterous, yet somehow compellingly possible.

by Brian Panowich
This is a compelling story that hooks you from page 1 and is hard to put down. Brian Panowich has put together a visceral and at times disturbing tale set in the North Georgia backwoods. The story centers around Clayton Burroughs, the County Sheriff who is dealing with a deep set of problems that have him on the very edge both personally and professionally. Complex and cleverly plotted, the author shows us the human side of Clayton and how he must deal with inner demons and external forces that threaten to tear apart his life and family. I found this one before reading his debut Bull Mountain, but immediately after finishing

Michael Gannon is definitely a guy you want on your side, widowed with a son he does not get to see enough, he ekes out a living as a dive instructor in the Bahamas. Out one night on a solo fishing trip he witnesses the crash of a small jet. A good samaritan attempt at rescue and a questionable decision net him enemies too powerful to imagine. They will stop at nothing, literally nothing, to stop him. Unfortunately for then Gannon was not always a beach bum moonlighting as a dive instructor. Ancillary characters are so well developed I hope to see many of them again in the series.

After Sundown
by Linda Howard and Linda Jones
I have been reading, and loving, Linda Howard books for over twenty years. This plot is a departure from many of her previous books, but so beautifully crafted it is hard to put down. A natural disaster that none of us believe could happen does, and the power grid is gone. Sounds bad, right? Actually worse that we could ever imagine. This book chronicles the journey of one small Tennessee mountain town and exposes the best and worst of people. The painstaking detail of everyday life is so well captured you feel you are living it with the residents. I believe this book is perfect for current fans and should also appeal to more technical and even sci-fi fans. (Don't panic, it's not a sci-fi book).
