Hidden Hearts
A love story where losing may be the only way to win... With staggering student loans to repay, CC Carlson is determined to please her new employers. The first assignment as a real estate lawyer is easy: deliver an eviction notice and make it clear that it will be enforced. She delivers her notice and ultimatum and only then realizes that the nearly 70-year-old occupant is the inspiring creator of a series of books that had filled her childhood with stories of love and courage. Love and tragic secrets are part of every inch of her land, and Vivian Battle is prepared to live up to her name, as she always has. Her fiercely loyal tenants will also protect her. That includes the far-too attractive Penn, also a lawyer, who is only too happy to tell CC what she can do with her eviction notice.
Powered by Girl
A playbook for working with and training girls to be activists of their own social movements Drawing from a diverse collection of interviews with women and girl activists, Powered by Girl is both a journalistic exploration of how girls have embraced activism and a guide for adults who want to support their organizing. Here we learn about the intergenerational support behind thirteen-year-old Julia Bluhm when she got Seventeen to go Photoshop free; nineteen-year-old Celeste Montaño, who pressed Google to diversify their Doodles; and sixteen-year-old Yas Necati, who campaigns for better sex education. And we learn what experienced adult activists say about how to scaffold girls’ social-change work. Brown argues that adults shouldn’t encourage girls to “lean in.” Rather, girls should be supported in creating their own movements—disrupting the narrative, developing their own ideas—on their own terms.
