Story
Diane Guerrero, the television actress from the megahit Orange Is the New Black and Jane the Virgin, was just 14 years old on the day her parents were detained and deported while she was at school. Born in the US, Guerrero was able to remain in the country and continue her education, depending on the kindness of family friends who took her in and helped her build a life and a successful acting career for herself, without the support system of her family.

Story
Americans have built an empire on the idea of “race”, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of Black women and men - bodies exploited through slavery and segregation and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a Black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’ attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.

Story
In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut.

Story
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned - from the layout of the winding roads to the colors of the houses to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. Enter Mia Warren - an enigmatic artist and single mother - who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenage daughter, Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family; she called herself an "excitement addict."

Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

How do we talk about bias? How do we address racial disparities and inequities? What role do our institutions play in creating, maintaining, and magnifying those inequities? What role do we play? With a perspective that is at once scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt offers us the language and courage we need to face one of the biggest and most troubling issues of our time. She exposes racial bias at all levels of society - in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and criminal justice system.

Story
"The tragedies keep coming. As we reel from the latest horror..." So begins a new epilogue, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders". It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year. What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong.

My Favorite Author to Listen to
- By C. F. Eastman on 03-08-18
Publisher's Summary
Required listening from the founder of MuslimGirl.com - a harrowing and candid memoir about coming of age as a Muslim American in the wake of 9/11, during the never-ending war on terror, and through the Trump era of casual racism.
At nine years old, Amani Al-Khatahtbeh watched from her home in New Jersey as two planes crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. That same year she heard her first racial slur. At age 11, when the United States had begun to invade Iraq and the television was flooded with anti-Muslim commentary, Amani felt overwhelmed with feelings of intense alienation from American society.
At 13 her family took a trip to her father's native homeland of Jordan, and Amani experienced firsthand a culture built on pure religion, not Islamic stereotypes. Inspired by her trip, and after years of feeling like her voice as a Muslim woman was marginalized and neglected during a time when all the media could talk about was, ironically, Muslim women, Amani created a website called MuslimGirl. As the editor in chief, she put together a team of Muslim women and started a life dedicated to activism.
This is the extraordinary account of Amani's journey through adolescence as a Muslim girl, from the Islamophobia she's faced on a daily basis to the website she launched that became a cultural phenomenon to the nation's political climate in the 2016 election cycle with Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. While dispelling the myth that a headscarf makes you a walking target for terrorism, she shares both her own personal accounts and anecdotes from the sisterhood of writers that serve as her editorial team at MuslimGirl. Amani's honest, urgent message is fresh, timely, and a deeply necessary counterpoint to the current rhetoric about the Middle East.

A Christian girl
I adore you for telling people the story of a Muslims life, to explaining how different and difficult day to day is in this Society I enjoyed this book so much and not because you told your story but because you didn't let anybody stop you from doing what you wanted to do! I pray this world changes and we come to realize that everyone is unique and deserving of what ever they want in life

Amazing, Insightful, Encouraging
As a recent revert to Islam, I wanted to learn more about the lives of Muslim women from their own perspective as I will one day marry a Muslim woman and also the possibility of having a daughter. I have been trying to understand in the future how I will raise Muslim girls who can be strong, successful, and brave women. While living in a society that is strung against them. Because I grew up a Christian, I have been at a loss when I think about the possible task. This book has opened my eyes, my mind, and my heart. It will be a book my daughter reads. 1000 Salams - @WhoIsDominic

Wonderful
I loved this book for the raw description of the insecurity many young women encounter while growing up. The compounded persecution she encountered then and now makes my heart weep. I will reread this book many times to remind myself that powerful women are to be applauded, that when ignorant people say ignorant things they must be corrected or called out for their ignorance and that standing up for ones convictions is not enough, one must strive to educate so that we can grow closer in this world. Hearing the authors voice is wonderful but I will be buying hard copies to put in my Little Free Library to send out into the world.

many mixed feelings
I was angry at the beginning... not because it was a book about Muslims but because I heard 1 line that offended me. I turned off the book for a day to digest it before returning. why did I allow myself to be offended by this book? I wasn't truly listening to her message.
I forced myself to listen to every word and really think about how it affected the writer. she lived her story, not me so I had to take away my judgement.
this incredible woman wrote from her soul. every sentence was a piece of her exposed. every woman should read or hear this book. every girl should.
Amani is a strong voice for women around the world.

Couldn't wait for this book to be over
Amani is trying to re-write history. Oppression of Muslim girls and women is not inflicted by western culture but rather by the centuries of Islamic culture.
She ended each chapter with anger and hatred toward western culture, "white men & white women". I chose to read this book hoping for a better understanding of Muslim girls as I have two nieces and a sister-in-law who are Muslims. My Muslim sister in law has pursued her education at the encouragement of her white husband and our white family. Unlike my sweet Muslim nieces who's Muslim father have held them down, was against higher education and used them as his property. He was extremely cruel to my sweet sister who is now deceased. He sold one of his daughters to be married at age 16. These girls are Muslim Americans!!! It has been my first hand experience that Muslim girls are victims of their own culture more so than that of western culture.

Enlightened
I thought this book was a real education and I have a greater appreciation of how it felt for a innocent Muslim Girl post 9/11 who was bullied and shamed and expected to apologise for the crimes and atrocities of people she didn't know but just happened to share a religion. I am a more understanding human being for reading Amani Al-Katahbeh's book.
