    Hilda’s family didn’t know she had muscular dystrophy. They just knew their preschooler was losing her ability to walk. But they were determined to find a cure. Being disabled in Cameroon meant not only obstacles to transport, but visits to diviners and evangelists, threats of sexual assault, discrimination, and a crisis of faith. Despite the hardship Hilda has faced, her family’s unwavering support and God’s unwavering grace have helped her persevere to become a national broadcaster. Her inspiring triumph over adversity will give you hope, no matter how dark your trials. Walk a mile in Hilda’s shoes and learn how:  She lost her mobility and found her purpose.  A gutsy girl broke the glass ceiling of disability.  People saw her broken body, but God saw a worthy vessel.  She and her family searched for healing, but God had other plans.  She didn’t need to stand to be outstanding.  God was on the move when she was stuck.  Her hope overcame hardship.  The Girl with Special Shoes is the witty and heartfelt story of a family’s sacrificial love and a God who refashions pain into purpose.

    Audubon's life naturally divides itself into three periods: his youth, which was on the whole a gay and happy one, and which lasted till the time of his marriage at the age of twenty-eight; his business career which followed, lasting ten or more years, and consisting mainly in getting rid of the fortune his father had left him; and his career as an ornithologist which, though attended with great hardships and privations, brought him much happiness and, long before the end, substantial pecuniary rewards.

    A photo-filled biography of a pioneering female pilot who became a champion of aviation for women. 
 
Viola Gentry of Rockingham County, North Carolina, learned to fly in 1924—and quickly achieved greater heights. In 1925, the aviatrix took her first solo flight. The following year, she flew under the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, and in 1928, she established the first officially recorded women’s solo endurance flight record. She became the first federally licensed female pilot from North Carolina that same year.  
 
She was a national celebrity, and her job in a New York restaurant secured her the nickname the “Flying Cashier.” She even became personal friends with fellow pioneers of aviation Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post, and General James “Jimmy” Doolittle. Then, after a near-fatal crash, Gentry focused her efforts on championing aviation for women and preserving its early history. In this compelling biography, Jennifer Bean Bower reveals the life of one of the great women in Tar Heel State history.
