New Releases by Susan Taylor

Kate Mitchell, a single mother of a boy with autism, once dreamed of climbing the corporate ladder and living the good life with the man of her dreams. Now, with an abusive ex-husband, escalating medical bills, and fading hope for her son’s future, she decides that she has no choice but to sue the giant pharmaceutical company that she believes is responsible for her son’s illness. Through a random twist of fate, the young and inexperienced lawyer, James Mouton, takes her case, and the two embark on a journey that will forever change their lives and potentially those of thousands of others affected by the growing epidemic of autism.

This book is a work of fiction. This is inspired by Alyssa Brumbaugh.

It makes us and others happy when we say and do nice things like a rose rather than say and do sharp things like a thorne.

Key events of the Civil Rights Movement will be brought to life in this exciting and informative new series. 1957 was a year of new beginnings and hope for a growing movement. In January, prominent civil rights leaders attended a historic meeting in Georgia with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the helm. In September, as protests were heating up around the nation, a group of Black students, known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. At the same time, activists' push for legislation resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Progress toward equality for Blacks was slow, but people's commitment to the movement continued to deepen by the year as the prospect of change seemed possible. ABOUT THE SERIES: The years from 1955 to 1965 are at the heart of the civil rights movement-from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Voting Rights Act. The contributions of key activists, including Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John Lewis, Barbara Nash, and Malcolm X, are part of the narrative. Demonstrations of passive resistance and legal challenges were often met with bloodshed and violence against Black Americans fighting to end segregation and discrimination. Yet the courage of those yearning for equal opportunities under the law ultimately produced legislation affirming that every American should have the same constitutional rights, regardless of color, race, or gender. With stunning photographs throughout and rich back matter, each book focuses on a specific year and chronologically follows the detailed events that occurred and the changes that took place.

This autobiographical collection of short stories revolves around young Laura and her outlook of daily life, a lifestyle much different than today’s circumstances. Sick days from school, the huge impact of the first color TV, Christmas tree lights, and the constant heartbreaking transfers of just-made military friends. Life was different in the sixties. Multigenerational living, one-car families, and well-planned summer vacations, all are great memories that are enjoyable and easy to read.

World War II completely disrupted life in the United States and throughout the world, and it was an empowering turning point in U.S. women's history. Some women joined the armed forces as nurses and pilots. Some went to work outside the home in factories producing munitions, and building ships and airplanes. Some even became spies! But despite all these accomplishments, women were rarely given the recognition they deserved or the same benefits as their male counterparts. This book tells their story. Women are sometimes called the silent protagonists of history. But since before the founding of our nation until now, women have organized, marched, and inspired. They forced change and created opportunity. With engaging text, fun facts, photography, infographics, and art, this new set of books examines how individual women of differing races and socioeconomic status took a stand, and how groups of women lived and fought throughout the history of this country. It looks at how they celebrated victories that included the right to vote, the right to serve their country, and the right to equal employment. The aim of this much-needed set of five books is to bring herstory to young readers!

Discover Wilmington's enduring spirit in these images of past and present. Since 1739, Wilmington has seen centuries of change along the banks of the Cape Fear River to the beaches of the Atlantic. Through the years much has been lost to war, neglect, and progress, but in many places the past is well preserved and still visible today.

Quickly and quietly, Robert Smalls headed the ship out of the Charleston Harbor. Across the wide river was the Northern Army and freedom for slaves like him. On Robert’s side of the river was the Southern Army and Robert’s master. Robert knew his master would never give him freedom. Now was his chance to escape. Robert steered the ship into the open water. He could see the nearby forts of the Southern Army and their cannons ready to fire. The Southern soldiers would capture Robert if they could. Could he sail across hidden by the darkness of night? Could he pass by in disguise?

Cape Fear, the stretch of North Carolina coastline around Wilmington, boasts a rich and fascinating history. Known for its unique beauty, the area has played a role in agriculture, industry, and tourism since before the American Revolution.

Together Oliver and his mother play through their "to do" list.

In Cape Fear Beaches, with more than 200 rare, black-and-white photographs, you will step back into affectionate memory, when early residents slept in hammocks in precarious beach shacks, when grand buildings, such as Lumina and the Oceanic Hotel, dotted the beachscape, when road repair meant a shovelful of oyster shells to mend a pothole, and when bathing suits left almost everything to the imagination. This volumealso recounts the black communitys experiences along these beaches, primarily at Seabreeze and Shell Island, and shares their personal stories and triumphs in a changing social scene, in which Reconstruction values slowly gave way to Civil Rightsera equality. Throughout the book, scenes of proud fishermen, both amateur and professional, with their daily catches, snapshots of family picnics on the beach, and photographs of friends posed with the ocean as a backdrop remind us that at the beach, the pace of life is measured not by the hands of a clock, but by the steady, changing tides.
