  WHICH SIDE OF THE LINE DO YOU LIVE ON? 
   
  In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that little Linda Brown couldn't be excluded from a public school because of her race. In that landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, the court famously declared that public education must be available to all on equal terms. But sixty-six years later, many of the best public schools remain closed to all but the most privileged families. Empowered by little-known state laws, school districts draw attendance zones around their best schools, indicating who is, and who isn't, allowed to enroll. In many American cities, this means that living on one side of the street or the other will determine whether you leave eighth grade on a track for future success or barely able to read. 
   
  In A Fine Line, bestselling author Tim DeRoche takes a close look at the laws and policies that dictate which kids are allowed to go to which schools. And he finds surprising parallels between current education policies and the redlining practices of the New Deal era in which minority families were often denied mortgages and government housing assistance because they didn't live within certain desirable zones of the city. 
   
  It is an extraordinary story of American democracy gone wrong, and it will make you question everything you think you know about our public education system.

  The Big Reveal - An Illustrated...

  “Drag embodies the queer possibility that exists within each of us—the infinite ways in which gender, good taste, and art can be lived.”  
  –Sasha Velour 
  This book is a quilt, piecing together memoir, history, and theory into a living portrait of an artist and an art. Sasha Velour illuminates drag as a unique form of expression with a rich history and a revolutionary spirit. 
  Each chapter strips off a new layer, removing one tantalizing glove and then another, to reveal all the twists and turns in the life of a queen. As Sasha recalls her own journey, from the women who raised her, to learning the craft of an artist, to success, disaster, and more, she also uncovers the history of queer life around the world that made it all possible. 
  From shamans to “fairies balls,” empresses to RuPaul’s Drag Race (and beyond), The Big Reveal chronicles and celebrates our shared queer pasts. “If we want to be seen as legendary,” writes Sasha, “we have to weave ourselves into history.” 
  From an iconoclastic drag queen comes an equally singular, thought-provoking manifesto that brings necessary and sparkling substance to our understanding of drag, queerness, beauty, and liberation! 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Subjectified - Becoming a Sexual...

  Subjectified is a book about subjects, objects, and verbs. It is also a book about clothing-optional resorts, masturbation circles, and sex parties. 
   
   
   
  Suzannah Weiss takes the listener through her adventures as a sex and relationship writer to explore how we can create a world with less objectification and more subjectification—placing women and other marginalized groups in the subject role of sentences and actions. Offering a deeply personal critique of sexual empowerment movements, Weiss presents a way forward that focuses on what women desire, not what men desire from them. Subjectified calls for women everywhere to inhabit their bodies and hearts—to look through their own eyes and speak as "I." 
   
   
   
  The book is for everybody wanting to understand themselves as subjects. Wholeheartedly, the author invites you to follow her search for subjecthood and, should you desire, forge your own path out of objecthood.

  Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice? But what if that's the wrong question? 
  Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace? 
  Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
