  Inspiring and timely, Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life is the riveting story of an African American woman, born in 1910, who blazed through the barriers of race and gender decades before the Civil Rights and Women's Movements. Pauli Murray fearlessly rode freight trains dressed as a boy during the Great Depression and befriended First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt before embarking on a pioneering life of social activism, legal scholarship, and many firsts. In 1944, Pauli graduated first in her class at Howard University; in 1965, she was the first Black woman to earn a doctorate in law from Yale University; in 1966, she was a founder of NOW, the first National Organization for Women; and in 1977, Pauli was the first Black woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest. Pauli never faced a barrier she couldn't smash through, and her life as a feminist, civil rights lawyer, poet, author, activist, and priest paved the way for all to live a life of equality and purpose.

  Fireflies are told a story from the moment they are born: that they are actually fallen stars.  
  Join one firefly on his quest to transcend the garden and rejoin the heavenly hosts above. Face down the garden that requires conformity, the spider’s carnivorous fangs, and the fear that often comes with freedom. This is an adventure, fable, and personal reflection all rolled into one, and you may find that this quest to venture beyond the garden also invites you on a journey toward healing of your own. Because like it or not, we become the stories we tell ourselves, and within these pages you may find a new path forward, illuminated By a Firefly’s Glow.

  The smartest thing a squirrel can do is avoid werewolves, not get mated to one.
  
  
  All Dahy Doocey wants is an unlimited supply of nuts and a safe place to stay. As a squirrel shifter, he always has to hide and watch out for stupid wolves and other predators. Frozen and starving, he reaches out to a friend, not knowing she recently mated a shifter. She agrees to hide him anyway, but now he's neck-deep in wolves. Not ideal.
  
  
  Konrad Broody is the alpha of a werewolf pack. When he agreed to hide a friend of the newest pack member, he assumed it was a human woman, not a squirrel. And he certainly didn't believe Dahy would turn out to be his mate. The problem is squirrels often end up dead when spending time around wolves.
  
  
  Konrad will fight anyone who dares go near Dahy, but when Dahy goes missing, there is no one he can fight. Dahy should've known hanging around wolves would get him in trouble. How will he be able to escape the idiots keeping him prisoner before they eat him? Stupid wolves.
