Winner of the 2020 Silver Nautilus Book Award On a cold winter night in February of 1967, a large rock shattered a bedroom window in Virginia Walden Ford's home in Little Rock, Arkansas, landing in her baby sister's crib. Outside, members of the Ku Klux Klan burned a cross on her family's lawn. Faceless bigots were terrorizing Virginia, her parents, and her sisters–all because her father, Harry Fowler, dared to take a job as the assistant superintendent of personnel for the Little Rock School District. He was more than qualified, but he was black. In her searing new memoir, legendary school choice advocate Virginia Walden Ford recounts the lessons she learned as a child in the segregated south. She drew on those experiences—and the legacies handed to her by her parents and ancestors—thirty years later, when she built an army of parents to fight for school choice in our nation's capital. School Choice: A Legacy to Keep, tells the dramatic true story of how poor D.C. parents, with the support of unlikely allies, faced off against some of America's most prominent politicians—and won a better future for children.
Second Chance
I found myself standing at the entrance to my Sunset Beach mansion. The only thing odd about this scenario is that I, Kathy Wexler, wealthy heiress, was legally pronounced dead three months ago. Second Chance begins as Kathy, seeking justice for her demise, is suddenly transported back to earth as a cook for her evil husband, Brad, who got away with her murder and is living in luxury with his new girlfriend, Tiffany. Now, in a frumpy, overweight, older body, known as Mildred Benson, the former socialite confronts the outrage of her situation and becomes involved with cooking, murder and the handsome caretaker of the mansion next door. What will be the outcome of her paranormal experience and can she dodge danger long enough to keep her second chance from becoming her last chance.
