  Black Women Ivory Tower -...

  Black women are heading to college in record numbers, and more and more Black women are teaching in higher education. But these statistics don’t guarantee our safety there.  
   
  Willpower and grit may improve achievement for Black people in school, but they don’t secure our belonging. In fact, the very structure of higher education ensures that we’re treated as guests, outsiders to the institutional family—outnumbered and unwelcome. 
   
  In this compelling exploration of what it means to be a Black woman pursuing higher education, Dr. Jasmine L. Harris moves beyond the “data points” to examine the day-to-day impacts of racism in education on Black women as individuals, the longer-term consequences to our personal and professional lives, and the generational costs to our entire families. 
   
  “I want to arm as many Black girls and women as I can with the knowledge about these spaces that I lacked,” says Dr. Harris. “By laying bare my own traumas, and those of Black women before me, I am providing them the tools to protect themselves, with an understanding of how deliberately many institutions will try to undercut them.” 
   
  Trial and error have been required of Black students to navigate systems of discrimination and disadvantage. But this book now offers useful support, illuminating the community of Black women dealing with similar issues. The author’s story is not unusual, nor are her interactions anomalies. Black Women, Ivory Tower explores why.

  Tremendous Trifles - "Perhaps...

  G K Chesterton

  A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University

  The Road I Never Meant to Take -...

  The Road I Never Meant to Take is a memoir like no other—a poignant and transformative collection of 52 letters that guide readers through the descent into addiction and the soul-lifting climb toward recovery. Each letter is its own chapter—a standalone reflection that can be read daily, weekly, or at the reader’s own pace. 
  At the heart of the book is L, a therapist in recovery writing to a friend who understands the darkness. Through her voice, the letters explore not just one woman’s story, but a collective experience—shaped by Alanna Bell’s personal recovery and the lives of many she’s walked alongside as a therapist and fellow traveler. 
  What makes this memoir truly distinct is its fusion of lived experience, clinical insight, scientific understanding, and spiritual depth. The letters weave together research-based truths about the biology of addiction, the neurochemistry of trauma, and the impact of chronic stress on the brain, alongside the emotional and spiritual realities of what it means to fall apart—and heal. 
  This is a book for anyone who is: 
   – Living with addiction or substance use disorder 
   – Supporting a loved one through recovery 
   – Working in the fields of mental health, medicine, or spiritual care 
   – Longing for emotionally honest writing about trauma, healing, and hope 
  Written with grace, grit, and grounded wisdom, The Road I Never Meant to Take is both a testimony and a tool. It invites readers not just to witness a journey—but to reflect on their own, and perhaps, begin again.
