  Sara Christie narrates her remarkable journey from a vibrant childhood in Hyderabad to overcoming a 49-year abusive marriage. Raised in a large family with limited means, Sara’s early life was rich with love, religious teachings, and a groundbreaking pursuit of education, encouraged by her father. The memoir shifts to Sara’s adult life, marred by an arranged marriage to Dr M Hasan Jamali MD. What began with hope quickly turned into a relentless struggle as her husband's neglect and intrusive in-laws subjected her to profound emotional and physical pain. Despite the torment, Sara persevered with her medical education and career in pediatrics. Central to her transformation is Jaz, a mentor who reveals a perspective on Islam that upholds mutual respect and dignity. Jaz’s support becomes a lifeline, helping Sara to reclaim her self-worth and confront her abusive reality. Through tales of isolation, persistent neglect, and her role as a mother and professional, Sara’s story is a testament to her strength and resilience. "Silent No More" is a powerful account of her quest for redemption and freedom after decades of suffering.

  Named one of The Progressive magazine's Favorite Books of the Year 
  An inside look at the organizers and artists on the front lines of political mobilization and social change 
  “Ken [Grossinger] is one of the smartest strategists I know.” —John Sweeney, AFL-CIO president, 1995–2009 
  An artist’s mural of George Floyd becomes an emblem of a renewed movement for racial equality. A documentary film injects fuel into a popular mobilization to oust a Central American dictator. Freedom songs course through the American civil rights movement. 
  When artists and organizers combine forces, new forms of political mobilization follow—which shape lasting social change. And yet few people appreciate how much deliberate strategy often propels this vital social change work. Behind the scenes, artists, organizers, political activists, and philanthropists have worked together to hone powerful strategies for achieving the world we want and the world we need. 
  In Art Works, noted movement leader Ken Grossinger chronicles these efforts for the first time, distilling lessons and insights from grassroots leaders and luminaries such as Ai Weiwei, Courtland Cox, Jackson Browne, Shepard Fairey, Jane Fonda, Elizabeth Alexander, Bill McKibben, JR, Jose Antonio Vargas, and more. Drawing from historical and present-day examples—including Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, the Hip Hop Caucus, the Legacy Museum, and the Art for Justice Fund—Grossinger offers a rich tapestry of tactics and successes that speak directly to the challenges and needs of today’s activists and of these political times.
