WAY OFF

Nataly Michelle Wright, Janet Breceda Wright, A.E. Wright; William Perkins

Mia and her family are gearing up to visit her great aunt, who also just happens to be old and a nun. Feeling a bit uneasy, Mia turns to her Audacious Girls for support. The Audacious Girls, tangle on rumors and make-believe stories, paint a wild picture of nuns as strict and mean. Fearing for the worst, Mia worries about what might unfold. Until the unexpected happens. In Way Off, the second book of the Audacious Little Princesses series, Mia dives into an eye-opening adventure, as she interacts with three extraordinary new characters.

Insurgency: 1968 Aztec Walkout
Victor Gonzalez

Reported as a rebellion by the local newspaper, this In Xochitl In Cuicatl (flowery song), explains the causes for the student walkout at Azusa High on December 13, 1968. With pivotal advice and assistance from Sal Castro, student leaders formed UMAS (United Mexican American Students), the forerunner of MECHA, a Xicano student organization found today on many high school and college campuses. It vividly details the author's frantic but successful year-end struggle to gain admission to a four year college after being rejected by seven colleges and universities whose applications were deliberately sabotaged by his high school administrators! This historical nonfiction account is a powerful and extraordinarily unique glance into that 1968 year where worldwide student activism was also a part of the late 1960's incipient movimiento known as La Causa Chicana.

The Mercies of the Lord... I Will Sing
Sister Jean Marie Kirby, OCD; William Perkins

 This is a remarkable work done by Sister Jean Marie Kirby, a Carmelite nun who has been in service to the Lord since she graduated from high school in 1946. Through the years Jean Marie forged a remarkable relationship with God which she is able to articulate in spectacular fashion through her poetry-written consistently over 50 years. Through her words Sister Jean Marie guides us to new visions and facilitates our ability to see God in places we never thought to look for him before. Her spirit, her passion, and her faithful committment to service for God is captured through a collection of her poems entitled The Mercies of the Lord…I Will Sing! Each poem is accompanied by an illustration created by Mr. Bill Perkins, whose genius and sensitivity perfectly matches Jean Marie’s unique, spiritual, and emotional acknowledgement of God in all things. The results are just spectacular! This book is a must read!
