Who was the greatest moose that ever lived? Well, there once was a moose who was handsome and brilliant, and while sometimes he smelled a bit pungent, his hearing and problem-solving skill sets were off the charts; for a moose. Mashuga Moose was the Sherlock Holmes of the Maine woods. When the human world went quiet from the Global Pandemic and the impact became evident to even the woodland creatures, Mashuga Moose thought, "Maybe I can help." "In the Time of the Dented-Pan and the Strange Quiet" is an illustrated children's book about a moose who wakes up one morning to find that the world had changed overnight. Like most wild animals, Mashuga Moose had been taught to stay safe by listening to human sounds. The "Strange Quiet" made Mashuga Moose feel afraid, anxious, and lonely. Despite his fears, Mashuga Moose knew that to protect his herd, he would have to journey around the lake to "town;" he had to find out what had happened to the humans.

At age thirty-two, Chris Davis had everything she was told that she wanted: a husband, two children, and a townhouse in the suburbs. The plan had been laid out for her and compliance was expected. A devout Mormon with a stellar reputation in her community, Davis spent a lifetime listening to rhetoric from church leaders that queer people were sinners and needed to repent of their wickedness. She had sworn faithfulness and obedience to God and the church but was faced with an impossible equation. How could she earn blessings from God and eternal life in heaven when she knew she was gay? She decided the only way out was a 17-year plan to raise her children and then take her own life.In Worthy: The Memoir of an Ex-Mormon Lesbian, Davis tells her story of growing up in a Mormon household in Maine. Her nostalgic and sometimes humorous childhood memories of family and friends provide life lessons that influence her during the traumatic experiences she has as a woman and as a closeted queer person in the church. It isn't until one of her children comes out that Davis is forced to choose between religion and family. She chooses love.Davis shares her brave journey from the depths of despair to hope and possibility. She shines a light on the tragedy of exclusion in our churches, in families, and in society, which takes such a toll on youth who struggle with their identities. Her inspiring account shows that it takes courage and fortitude to change one's beliefs and live an authentic life, but the rewards are immense.

A beautiful story of friendship and overcoming challenges that children (and the adults who read to them) will enjoy!

Un personnage de roman d'André Malraux déclare, à la fin d'une réflexion profonde sur la vie des hommes: il faut plus de cinquante (50) ans pour faire un homme et quand il est fait, il meurt.Jacques Stéphen Alexis était l'une des exceptions à cette règle. Quand il est mort sous la torture, il était déjà fait comme homme et il n'avait pas encore cinquante (50) ans. Si je peux emprunter à René Depestre cette belle métaphore de son poème Face à la nuit, il n'avait pas encore cueilli quarante (40) étoiles dans le ciel de la vie .Dans son roman L'espace d'un cillement, l'un des protagonistes El Caucho retrouve une pensée analogue qui peut s'appliquer à l'auteur lui-même: Les hommes ne sont pas interchangeables, tous les cinquante (50) ans la nature ne peut produire qu'un seul Shakespeare, un seul Mozart, un Beethoven, un Goya, un Napoléon, un Marx, un Pasteur ou un Einstein, pas plus ! C'est l'équation de la vie ! On n'en a pas encore trouvé la solution... Petit problème pour le certificat d'études primaires dans cent (100) ans: En un petit pays comme Cuba, combien d'années la nature prend-elle pour produire un Jesús Menéndez ?

It is an inspiring reminder that no matter what life throws our way, we have the power to rise above it and reclaim our power. Each story is different, but they all share a common thread: the power of perseverance. In these pages, you will find stories of strength, courage, and hope. These women are proof that no challenge is too great and that no obstacle is insurmountable. They are a testament to the power of the human spirit, and their ability to persevere in the face of adversity is truly inspiring. By sharing our stories, we can change the world. The women who have written in this book are not only telling their own stories; they are also giving other women permission to tell their stories. They are showing that survivors are not alone and that they are not defined by their abuse. They are showing the world that survivors are strong, and that they can find their own power.
