    Thabo Mbeki - The Dream Deferred...

    Hailed in the Times Literary Supplement as 'probably the finest piece of non-fiction to come out of South Africa since the end of apartheid', The Dream Deferred is back in print and updated with a brilliant new epilogue.
    The prosperous Mbeki clan lost everything to apartheid. Yet the family saw its favourite son, Thabo, rise to become president of South Africa in 1999. A decade later, Mbeki was ousted by his own party and his legacy is bitterly contested – particularly over his handling of the AIDS epidemic and the crisis in Zimbabwe.
    Through the story of the Mbeki family, award-wining journalist Mark Gevisser tells the gripping tale of the last tumultuous century of South Africa life, following the family's path to make sense of the liberation struggle and the future that South Africa has inherited. At the centre of the story is Mbeki, a visionary yet tragic figure who led South Africa to freedom but was not able to overcome the difficulties of his own dislocated life.
    It is 15 years since Mbeki was unceremoniously dumped by the ANC, giving rise to the wasted years under Jacob Zuma. With the benefit of hindsight, and as Mbeki reaches the age of 80, Gevisser examines the legacy of the man who succeeded Mandela.
    '…essential reading for anyone intrigued by South Africa's complex philosopher-king.' - The Economist

    Freeing Teresa - A True Story...

    When an idealistic activist objects to her siblings’ plan to ship their disabled sister off to a nursing home, she’s forced to choose between family and her sister’s freedom. 
    A riveting and inspiring true story brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors, including Jackie Blackmore, Lauren Potter, and Dayleigh Nelson. 
    TRIGGER WARNING: This story deals with dysfunctional family relationships and ableist attitudes, which some readers may find upsetting. 
    Franke James is an environmental activist who got into trouble in her own backyard—family trouble. She objected when she heard her siblings’ plan to put their disabled sister, Teresa Heartchild, into a nursing home. Teresa, who has Down syndrome, refused to go. But the other siblings insisted and secretly put Teresa into an institution for end-of-life care. 
    Teresa was in shock. Franke was horrified and organized a rescue. That’s when all hell broke loose. The two sisters had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend Teresa’s right to be free. 
    This is a true story about a key civil rights issue for all people with disabilities—the right to decide where you live. 
    PRAISE for Freeing Teresa 
    “The result is more than a memoir: it’s a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom’ are gained through fighting and love.” 
    D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review 
    “Gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring. This story will break your heart and then fill it up again.” 
    Catherine McKercher, author of Shut Away 
    “A gripping story about courage, love, and an unshakeable belief in human potential.” 
    Marty Seldman, Ph.D. author of Survival of the Savvy

    Candles for the Defiant and Forgotten tells the courageous story of how one Baltic patriot resisted the Soviet occupation of Estonia during World War II by joining the Communist Party to spy for his countrymen. Trained as a lawyer, Bruno Kulgma Kull was smart, idealistic, and convinced that he could hide his true affiliations from the Soviet-controlled Party leaders, while he sabotaged their plans. Little could he have known that he would end up being distrusted by the Communists, reviled by his neighbors, and accused of being a traitor when the Germans invaded Estonia a year later in the summer of 1941. 
    As she was growing up, Kaia knew only that her mother’s family escaped from Estonia a day before the country was occupied by the Soviet Union in the fall of 1944 as World War II was coming to an end. Years later, she resolved to learn more about her family’s past and to uncover the tragic story of Bruno’s ill-fated heroism. With help from the Estonian National Archives, she uncovered documents that showed how Bruno tried to defend his actions at a time when the German legal system condemned anyone affiliated with the Communist Party to death. 
    Kaia’s family story highlights the stubborn determination shown by the citizens from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania who resisted the occupation of their homelands, a battle that would last for nearly fifty years when the Baltic states regained their independence in the 1990s.

    FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT 
    Some say that a good president is determined by how they deal with the challenges that are thrown onto them by what is going on in other parts of the world. While others consider the greatness to come from how much initiative they take to solve the problems of their country, in spite and despite the state of the rest of the world. No matter how you measure greatness, there are some presidents that check both boxes, so to speak, for evaluation. The 32nd President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt is, arguably, one of these presidents. 
    Not only did he have to deal with his own health issues, but he also had to navigate a crumbling economy and a Second World War, among a multitude of other lesser-known challenges. This book traces a genealogical line through the life, career, presidency, and death of the 32nd president.  
    To begin, we take a look into the early life and childhood of Franklin D. Roosevelt; this is, of course, to see what, if any, notable events in his past were influential in his leadership role as president. 
    Following his early life, we then move to his early political career, and the steps taken that led him to earn the title of president of the United States. Next, there are a select few chapters that are focused on the impressive, and quite long, presidential reign of FDR. To round out this book, we touch on the death and legacy of this great man and what he has left behind for so many to follow in his footsteps. Interspaced between each of these chapters are quotes once uttered by this president of the United States that have lasted over time and been influential for many individuals. 
    Essentially, through reading this book, you will encounter the life of a great man who, while being forced into different hardships, both personal and political, was able to earn the respect of his countrymen and women and guide them through some of the darkest years of the 20th century.
