  Debut author Gloria Amescua's lyrical biography of an indigenous Nahua woman from Mexico who taught and preserved her people's culture through modeling for famous artists.She was Luz Jiménez, 
  child of the flower-song people, 
  the powerful Aztec, 
              who called themselves Nahua—  
                         who lost their land but who did not disappear.As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned to grind corn in a metate, twist yarn with her toes, and weave on a loom. By the fire, she listened to stories of her community’s joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart. When the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Luz's work helped preserve her people's culture through native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her. 
   
  This moving biography tells how Luz Jiménez became “the soul of Mexico” and includes a note from the author.

  I can't wait for things to go back to normal, and for the list of things currently worrying Franny Petroski to shrink down to a normal size 
   
  Franny never lets anyone know how often she thinks of the charismatic, troubled mom who left her years ago, any more than she talks about the unaccountable things Mom did while she was still in the picture. Life with Nana is safe and secure, and Franny’s innovative art projects fill in any lonesome times.  
   
  But when Nana has an accident and Franny’s estranged uncle returns home to help out for a while, some long-guarded family secrets come to light. Franny has to use all of her courage, as well as all of her creativity, to come to terms with the discoveries she makes about her mother—and herself. 
   
  From the acclaimed author of 365 Days to Alaska, this moving and heartfelt story examines the objects and people we leave behind, and celebrates the beauty that can be found in the least likely places, if we only stop to look.  
   
  “Tenderly explores the pain of family secrets, and the ways that opening up to the truth also opens us up to a new world of love, compassion, and acceptance.”—Kate Albus, award-winning author of A Place to Hang the Moon

  THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
  Book 6 of 6 The god seed 
  This is the last book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
  The Federation detects a dying star's encoded signal leading to the God-Seed—a cosmic artifact believed to hold the secrets of creation. 
  Discovery & Division: Elurians revere it as divine. Kessari seek to exploit its power.Zorathians suspect a precursor trap. 
  The Awakening: Inside the God-Seed, the team triggers an assessment protocol. The artifact is revealed as the "Arbiter"—a failsafe designed to reset civilizations deemed corrupt. 
  Judgment Day: The precursors emerge, condemning the Federation’s history of war and infighting. Through impassioned appeals, the team argues for their potential to evolve. 
  Verdict:The precursors spare the galaxy but leave the God-Seed active as a warning. The Federation must prove its worth—or face annihilation in the next cycle. 
  Final Hook: *The precursors withdraw, but their prison-homeworld looms in the void. The Federation’s true test has just begun.* 
  I do hope you enjoy this sixth instalment, and it's only $3. 
  The initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes sets the scene, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.  
  The story itself runs to about 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think.
