Sojourner Truth, born into slavery in New York in 1797, transcended her circumstances to become a prominent activist and speaker for both abolition and women's rights. Her experiences as an enslaved woman and her spiritual awakening played pivotal roles in shaping her beliefs and advocacy.

This narrative is indispensable for readers seeking a deeper understanding of American history and the roots of social justice movements. Truth's eloquence and unwavering resolve make this work a powerful educational tool, inspiring contemporary activists to continue the fight for equality.

    Come On Down! - A Little Story...

    As a young girl, Fran Tunno yearned for that picture-perfect, 1960s American mom in a spotless apron, waiting at the door with warm cookies. What Fran got was an Italian American force of nature, shoving plates of salami and cheese in front of friends and family then eyeing them suspiciously until they ate an amount she found sufficient. 
When not force-feeding guests Fran’s mom kept busy by entering every contest available (legal or otherwise), cooking, canning, baking, chasing her children with a serving spoon, treating her light-up Jesus like her personal therapist, curing her children with questionable remedies, reminding them daily they were the best, and never missing an episode of “The Price is Right.” 
That whirlwind of love, chaos, food, and laughter helped shape Fran’s irreverent sense of humor and deep appreciation for the mother she did get. Her hilarious memoir, Come On Down! A Little Story About My Italian Mom’s Big Dream, is a joyful tribute to the woman who made every day an adventure and normal look overrated.

    Sad Tiger

    Sad Tiger is built on the facts of a series of devastating events. Neige Sinno was seven years old when her stepfather started sexually abusing her. At nineteen, she decided to break the silence that is so common in all cultures around sexual violence. This led to a public trial and prison for her stepfather and Sinno started a new life in Mexico. 
 
 
 
Through the construction of a fragmented narrative, Sinno explores the different facets of memory—her own, her mother's, as well as her abusive stepfather's; and of abuse itself in all its monstrosity and banality. Her account is woven together with a close reading of literary works by Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot, and Virginie Despentes among others. 
 
 
 
Sad Tiger—the title inspired by William Blake's poem "The Tyger"—is a literary exploration into how to speak about the unspeakable. In this extraordinary book there is an abiding concern: how to protect others from what the author herself endured? In the midst of so much darkness, an answer reads crystal clear: by speaking up and asking questions. A striking, shocking, and necessary masterpiece. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
