    Fans of Jennette McCurdy’s I’m Glad My Mom Died will root for Bridey Thelen-Heidel as she struggles to unshackle herself from her mother’s chaos in this triumphant debut memoir. 
    Bridey is tethered to her mom’s addiction to dangerous men who park their Harley-Davidsons in the house and kick holes in all their doors. Raised to be her mother’s keeper, rescuer, and punching bag, Bridey gets used to stuffing her life into black trash bags, hauling them between Alaska and California, and changing schools every time her mom moves in a new monster—or runs away from one. Desperately seeking the normal life she’s observed in sitcoms and her friends’ families, Bridey earns her way into a fancy, private college, where she tries to forget who she is—until her mom calls with a threat that drops Bridey to her knees. Watching doctors and police interrogate her mother at the hospital, Bridey realizes her mom has become a monster herself . . . and she doesn’t want to be saved. 
    But Bridey does. 
    Bright Eyes is about the indomitable spirit of a young girl forced to be brave, required to be resilient, and conditioned to be optimistic, and how she ultimately uses the same traits that helped her to survive her mother’s chaos to create her own happily-ever-after.

    Locked Down Locked Out - Why...

    An analysis of the US prison system through real-life stories, and a look at the complex work of community-based social justice projects. 
     
     
     
    Through the stories of prisoners and their families, including her own family's experiences, Maya Schenwar shows how the institution that locks up 2.3 million Americans and decimates poor communities of color is shredding the ties that, if nurtured, could foster real collective safety. As she vividly depicts here, incarceration takes away the very things that might enable people to build better lives. But looking toward a future beyond imprisonment, Schenwar profiles community-based initiatives that successfully deal with problems—both individual harm and larger social wrongs—through connection rather than isolation, moving toward a safer, freer future for all of us. 
     
     
     
    "Maya Schenwar's stories about prisoners, their families (including her own), and the thoroughly broken punishment system are rescued from any pessimism such narratives might inspire by the author's brilliant juxtaposition of abolitionist imaginaries and radical political practices." —Angela Y. Davis, author of Are Prisons Obsolete?

    A world divided. A system in crisis. A document that ignited a global movement.
    Written in 1848 at a moment of rising unrest, The Communist Manifesto lays out Marx and Engels's bold vision of class struggle, economic injustice, and the power of collective action. With clarity and urgency, it exposes the tensions between workers and capital, challenges the foundations of modern society, and calls on the oppressed to reshape the future.
    
    Celebrated as "one of the most influential political texts ever written," this manifesto continues to spark debate, inspire social movements, and shape discussions about power, inequality, and human rights. Its ideas remain as provocative and relevant today as they were more than a century ago.
    
    If you're drawn to political philosophy, social justice, or foundational works that changed world history, this essential classic offers a powerful lens on how societies rise, fall, and transform.
