Unbroken
UNBROKEN: Living whole in a culture that Glorifies fragments is a book of books. For the first time, let's talk about the white part of the handkerchief, and not the black spots on it. Millions of people, especially young people are celebrating chastity, not because they lack the "opportunity", but because they choose to stay chaste, they choose to celebrate discipline.Virginity is a blessing not a problem. They say purity is old school. That waiting is weird, that everybody is doing it...But guess what? The numbers don't lie. In Nigeria and across Africa, more than 70% of boys and girls are still keeping themselves. In US, 60% of high school students are still chaste, in Japan, almost half of the young adults still keep their virginity intact. In China, over 60% of university students are still waiting. They are not waiting because they lack opportunity or are clueless, they are waiting because they have goals, because they respect themselves and they know their worth. UNBROKEN is more than just a book, it is a global wake up call. It's a BOLD YES to Purity, to Peace of mind and to Purpose. You are not strange, you are strong. You are not behind, you are ahead, you are not broken...you are UNBROKEN.

Knocking on Windows
Acclaimed author Jeannine Atkins revisits her past in this "brave, searing" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) memoir-in-verse about memory, healing, and finding her voice as a writer, perfect for fans of Amber Smith and Speak. Night darkens the window to mirror. I'm back in my old bedroom. Six weeks after the start of her freshman year of college, Jeannine Atkins finds herself back in her childhood bedroom after an unimaginable trauma. Now home in Massachusetts, she's struggling to reclaim her life and her voice. Seeking comfort in the words of women, she turns to the lives and stories of Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, and Emily Dickinson. Through raw and poignant letter-poems addressed to these literary giants, Jeannine finds that the process of writing and reflecting has become not only a means of survival but the catalyst for a burgeoning writing career. Inspired and ready to move forward, she enrolls in her state university, where she feeds her growing passion for writing in fiction seminars. But she finds that she's unable to escape the pervasive misogyny of her classmates and professors, who challenge her to assert her own voice against a backdrop of disbelief and minimalization. This time, though, Jeannine is not willing to go down without a fight. A searingly honest memoir told through gorgeous verse, Knocking on Windows stands as a beacon of hope and a celebration of the enduring spirit of survivors of sexual assault--and of writers.

The book shows how these children's courage, determination, perseverance, and hope defined the West for what it represents today.

Relying on real letters and memoirs of actual children on the trail, My Way West offers a fresh perspective so that readers, too, can smell the campfire smoke and see the dust kicked up by the wagon wheels. Learn about seven-year-old Benjamin Bonney from Illinois who was introduced to a new type of bread by Native Americans he met on the trail; how thirteen-year-old Heber McBride and his family from England were able to keep up with their traveling group; what ten-year-old Thocmetony of the Northern Paiute in Nevada thought of the travelers passing by her home; what the difficulties twelve-year-old Owen Bush met when his family, including his free African American father, finally reached Oregon; and more. Including a bibliography and gorgeously illustrated in vibrant, masterful papercut art, this book presents true stories plus quotes so that young readers can share the emigrant kids' triumphs and tragedies as they make their journey west.
