Dystopian literature asks us, “What if?” And wow, did the question in The Wilding of Em’s Path seize the kairos of our moment. Wrenn's story of resistance and hope is a must-read and must-have addition to your library!

📽️ A recent immigrant, left to raise her newborn alone in an alien world, discovers her own strength through the gentle grace of a neighbor who sees her worth when she cannot. 💃🏽 We appreciate this recognition for our film. #USA #India #immigration #family #movie #Scotland #film

It's tattered, yellowed, and pages have been lovingly tucked back in place. Just the signs that I've treasured this collection since buying it in 1986. I hope you feel inspired by Walker's always sublime and timely poetry ❤️

Our realtor asked me to box up my books last year. I did. But I couldn't take being without them any longer, so my daughter helped me open over twenty boxes in storage and reclaim my favourites. I feel happier ❤️

Wow. The sixth book of the Robert Langdon series was a thrilling ride and reads like a uni lecture about the nature of consciousness and Noetic science. Fabulous setting in Prague. Incredible characters. Made me want to dive into Noetics 👏❤️
