Synopsis

Embrace a faith that makes room for all of us. Where can we go when the world refuses to see us in our fullness? When culture reduces us to categories and stereotypes and even our churches make us feel like we don’t fit in? If we’re blessed to have an Auntie—someone who, like Jesus, welcomes us wholly and calls us beloved—then we have glimpsed the liberation and divine affirmation of sacred belonging. ​ Time and again, Aunties have offered a model for undoing, becoming, and embracing our identities and deepest beliefs. Auntie culture, particularly in Black spaces, is immediately recognizable as an embodied experience where nieces, nephews, and “niblings” feel safe, heard, and seen. Whether we are biological or simply beloved kin, Aunties welcome us in. ​ In Love, Auntie, Shantell Hinton Hill—aka Reverend Auntie—offers tender testimonies to a flock of loved ones who have been led to believe they do not belong. Through modern-day parables, prayers, and prompts for reflection, she invites readers to sit alongside the wisdom-bearing of Black women, lovingly known as Aunties, as they carve out space for doubts, questions, and spiritual expression that honor intersecting identities of race, gender, and class. Because trust and believe, Aunties always know how to turn mess into miracles.

    In Driving Lessons, Christopher B. Strain sets out on a quintessential American road trip, exploring not just the roads and byways of the country but the road trip's place in American culture. Strain dives into the well of American travel writing, illuminating fascinating aspects of the road trip, such as how race, class, and gender shape the experiences of road trippers. 
     
     
     
    In the summer of 1998, amid a professional crisis of confidence, Strain settled on a plan to reconnect with both himself and the country he studies. He purchased a 1972 Volkswagen Westfalia van and set off on his own cross-country odyssey. In the weeks that followed, he ruminated on his own ongoing journey alongside great journeys from the past and how they reveal the heart of the traveler as well as the landscape of the nation. 
     
     
     
    Visiting archives and landmarks across the United States, Strain's journey became a parallel to the stories he studied—an opportunity to see and experience the cities, national parks, and monuments that define United States history. Driving Lessons is a compelling blend of literary analysis and memoir, offering listeners an insightful and heartfelt reflection on the enduring power of the American road trip.

    The British Empire was an extensive network of dominions, colonies, protectorates, mandates, and territories ruled or administered by the United Kingdom and its predecessor governments. This sprawling empire evolved from England's early ventures into overseas territories and trading ports, beginning in the late 16th century and continuing through the early 18th century. The empire grew to become the largest in recorded history, dominating global affairs for more than a century. 
    The roots of the British Empire can be traced back to England’s desire to expand its economic and political influence, driven by competition with other European powers like Spain and Portugal, who were leading the Age of Exploration. These countries had established lucrative colonial empires in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, amassing great wealth and resources. Inspired by their success, England, along with France and the Netherlands, began establishing its own colonies and trading posts, particularly in North America, the Caribbean, and Asia. 
    During the 17th and 18th centuries, the British Empire grew in strength through a combination of military conquests, naval power, and strategic alliances. Following its unification with Scotland through the 1707 Act of Union, Britain emerged as a major colonial power, extending its control across vast regions. The empire's reach expanded dramatically after the series of conflicts with its rivals, including the Anglo-Dutch Wars and the long-standing hostilities with France, culminating in Britain's dominance over North America and its influence over global trade routes.
