Teen poet and dreamer Kate Brown journeys to the Bahamas where she finds surprising truths about her family history. This second entry in the popular series takes you inside a young girl's mind as if the thoughts were your very own. You'll love it! If you Google "write what you know," you'll find that no one really knows where the phrase originated, but Leah believes it is sound advice. The Kate Brown series of tween books are set in Florida and the Bahamas. The main character, Kate, is a tall-for-her-age, slightly awkward teenager who likes to write poetry and so was Leah. Leah went to music camp, Kate goes to poetry camp. Leah doesn't know yet where Kate's next adventure will take her, but she is anxious to find out as she starts to write the third in her Kate Brown series.

A Place Inside My Head

By: Leah Benner

I just finished this book, and I truly enjoyed it! I am a 42 year old woman, but reading all about Kate's life and dreams, took me right back to my adolescence. The imagery Leah uses in this book is amazing!" - Kerri Moran "Very absorbing diary of a seventh grade girl who is struggling with typical adolescent challenges — parents, friends, school, identity — and who emerges at the end of the transformative year as a young woman with self-confidence, optimism, and strengthened relationships. Readers will enjoy this coming-of-age journey and admire Kate's introspection and wisdom, as she works through her problems while developing her talents as a writer." - Dr. Ellie What if you did something so bad you couldn't bear to think about it? That's what Kate Brown did and instead of listening to the guilty voices inside her head, she day-dreamed — not just a little bit. A lot. So much she almost failed sixth grade. So much everyone at school thought she was weird, even Natalie, her best friend since the first day of first grade. It wasn't until her English teacher encouraged Kate to write a journal and poetry that Kate began to deal with her buried feelings. Would Kate ever be able to forgive herself and once the truth came out, would her parents forgive her?

Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law

By: Leah Rothstein,Richard Rothstein

The Color of Law brilliantly recounted how government at all levels created segregation. Just Action describes how we can begin to undo it. In his best-selling book The Color of Law, Richard Rothstein demolished the de facto segregation myth that black and white Americans live separately by choice, providing “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to the reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson). This landmark work—through its nearly one million copies sold—has helped to define the fractious age in which we live. The Color of Law’s unrefuted account has become conventional wisdom. But how can we begin to undo segregation’s damage? “It’s rare for a writer to feel obligated to be so clear on solutions to the problems outlined in a previous book,” writes E. J. Dionne, yet Richard Rothstein—aware that twenty-first-century segregation continues to promote entrenched inequality—has done just that, teaming with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders. As recent headlines informed us, twenty million Americans participated in racial justice demonstrations in 2020. Although many displayed “Black Lives Matter” window and lawn signs, few considered what could be done to redress inequality in their own communities. Page by page, Just Action offers programs that activists and their supporters can undertake in their own communities to address historical inequities, providing bona fide answers, based on decades of study and experience, in a nation awash with memes and internet theories. Often forced to respond to social and political outrage, banks, real estate agencies, and developers, among other institutions, have apologized for past actions. But their pledges—some of them real, others thoroughly hollow—to improve cannot compensate for existing damage. Just Action shows how community groups can press firms that imposed segregation to finally take responsibility for reversing the harm, creating victories that might finally challenge residential segregation and help remedy America’s profoundly unconstitutional past.

Free Fall

By: Leah Raeder

Troisième opus de Leah Raeder : Intelligente, sexy et provocante, l'histoire d'une passion interdite entre une élève et son jeune professeur. Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma. Cette jeune fille au caractère bien trempé, qui prétend n'avoir peur de rien et ment volontiers sur son âge, a toujours eu l'impression d'avoir grandi trop vite. Quand elle rencontre Evan un soir dans une fête foraine, l'attirance est immédiate, intense, et pour elle sans lendemain. Pourtant, dès le jour suivant, Maise ne pense à rien d'autre qu'à lui. Ce trentenaire lui fait découvrir combien l'amour peut être plus qu'une brève rencontre, qu'il peut révéler une complicité inattendue avec un homme qui la comprend réellement. Un homme qui voit derrière ses bravades la petite fille effrayée et courageuse qu'elle est en réalité. Le jour de la rentrée, Maise découvre avec stupeur qu'Evan n'est autre que Mr Wilke, son nouveau professeur de cinéma. Tous deux décident d'interrompre leur liaison, mais leurs sentiments les rattrapent : ils sont incapables de résister à leur attirance mutuelle. Si à l'université et devant les autres, Maise et Evan sont deux acteurs feignant l'indifférence, dès qu'ils partagent des moments ensemble, ils se sentent vivre et être pleinement eux-mêmes. Mais leurs masques sont fragiles et menacent souvent de tomber. Les élèves les observent, les rumeurs courent... Commence alors un jeu dangereux dont il leur sera difficile de sortir indemnes. uatrième de couverture Maise O'Malley vient de fêter ses 18 ans et s'apprête à commencer des études de cinéma.

Lakeshore Candy

By: Shannyn Leah

Abby McAdams can't sleep. She keeps having nightmares about her grandmother. Cuddling up beside her friend, Riley, helps to ease some of the fears. Well, cuddling and the candy she keeps hidden around his apartment. She can't help but feel an attraction to Riley too, but they are just friends...right? Riley has his own past that haunts him, but she thinks he might want to get to know Abby on a deeper level too. As they fight their own desires to be together, the past comes back to slap them in the face. When they finally give in to their lustful cravings, will their love be enough to erase their pasts or will it be just another broken heart for both of them? "Lakeshore Candy" is the fourth in the "By The Lake" series, about the McAdams sisters, from author Shannyn Leah.
