Refusing the Favor
Refusing the Favor tells the little-known story of the Spanish-Mexican women who saw their homeland become part of New Mexico. A corrective to traditional narratives of the period, it carefully and lucidly documents the effects of colonization, looking closely at how the women lived both before and after the United States took control of the region.

Not Your Average Runner
Run for fun—no matter your size, shape, or speed! Do you think running sucks? Do you think you’re too fat to run? With humor, compassion, and lots of love, Jill Angie explains how you can overcome the challenges of running with an overweight body, experience the exhilaration of hitting new milestones, and give your self-esteem an enormous boost in the process.

Jill Angie is a certified running coach and personal trainer who wants to live in a world where everyone is free to feel fit and fabulous at any size. She started the Not Your Average Runner movement in 2013 to show that runners come in all shapes, sizes, and speeds, and, since then, has assembled a global community of revolutionaries who are taking the running world by storm. If you would like to be part of the revolution, this is the book for you!
Aborted at Birth
Aborted at Birth is the memoir of a Palestinian-Jordanian woman, tracking her growth and life between the Middle East, Western Europe and the United States. It is a narrative meditation on a woman's independence and evolution as she faces traumatic childhood, a son's autism, a husband's mania, and a best friend's murder, before her own epiphany and rebirth. Processed by the author's pseudonym-narrator, Caliana, the only world that makes sense is the interior space the author builds for her.
