Now Not Then

J.D. Walker

Sinopse

It's hard being middle-aged, single, and gay. Egan McFadden, well-to-do, generally happy, has just turned fifty, and he's all alone in the world. After years of trying to find a lasting connection with another man that's not superficial, he is tempted to give up. But the prospect of "the one" won't let him stop wishing for the moon.

Then there's Yuyi Morris, who runs the LGBTQ+ center where Egan volunteers. He's smart, driven, good-looking, and the kind of person who makes you want to be a better human being, just because. Egan and Yuyi have always gotten along. They have similar passions and outlooks on life. It could be that they are a perfect match on paper.

Would it be crazy if they tried for more than friendship?

Pauli Murray's Revolutionary Life

Simki Kuznick

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.
