Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, this moving manifesto “empowers women to access a fearlessness that will enable community progress” (Essence). Through one incredible woman’s journey from a small Zimbabwe village to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices in women’s empowerment and education, this book “can help any woman achieve her full potential” (Kirkus Reviews). Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: A Guide for Remembering & Igniting Your Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them—power that can recreate our world for the better. Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped, global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform—and Tererai’s call to action “shines as a beacon of hope to women everywhere” (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times bestselling author).

Book excerpt: The Redress Movement refers to efforts to obtain the restitution of civil rights, an apology, and/or monetary compensation from the U.S. government during the six decades that followed the World War II mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans. Early campaigns emphasized the violation of constitutional rights, lost property, and the repeal of anti-Japanese legislation. 1960s activists linked the wartime detention camps to contemporary racist and colonial policies. In the late 1970s three organizations pursued redress in court and in Congress, culminating in the passage of the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, providing a national apology and individual payments of $20,000 to surviving detainees.

Book excerpt: Nearly Impossible Dreams is a unique poetry book written by talented 10 year old author, Tara Finn. It includes a collection of works composed by Tara between the ages of 8 to 10 years old. Not only does Tara love to play with words but she uses poetry to convey her thoughts and feelings. It is intriguing to see the mind of a child expressed in this form. This combined with Tara’s creativity and ability to recognise the elements of a poem at such a young age makes the book even more captivating. The book uses illustrations by Michelle Harris to depict the essence of the poems to a beautiful effect. The poems appeal to school children; schools and educational organisations; libraries; universities; and poetry enthusiasts. It supports and encourages young Australian writers to achieve their dreams. Tara’s talent was originally recognised through Forming Circles Pty Ltd which is an Australian organisation committed to creating social and ethical investment success stories. Founder and CEO of Forming Circles, Renata Cooper, said, The book is an inspiring, uplifting, at times dark yet enlightening journey of a 10 year old. Tara truly represents the potential of upcoming Australian writing talent that we are proud to support. About the author Tara Finn has been reading and writing since (almost) the day she was born. Her parents joked she came out with a book in her hand, cranky because she was up to a really good part. She is currently in Year 6 and looking forward to finally getting to High School. She has won four Sydney Youth Writing Awards, and been published in numerous publications. Tara’s absolute favourite things in life are chocolate, boiled rice and netball, but not necessarily in that order. She has a younger brother and sister who drive her to distraction, a mother who makes her brush her hair and teeth (imagine!), and an Irish father who sings loud Irish songs in public just to embarrass her. Yes, she is normal in some ways!
