Charged with drama and beauty, this memorable collection by a master storyteller weaves a magical world of possibility and power from female myths of physical renewal, creation and change. It is an extraordinary immersion into the bodies and voices, mindscapes and landscapes, of the shapeshifting women of our native folklore. Drawing on myth and fairy tales found across Europe from Croatia to Sweden, Ireland to Russia, Sharon Blackie brings to life women's remarkable ability to transform themselves in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances.

Empowered retelling of folktales too long ignored.

In reading this book I felt the old wisdoms whispering down through the generations. I highly recommend to anyone wishing to reconnect to the wildness of the Self. In story, truth is most profound. Read and enjoy!

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

A very timely and timeless read.

Until humans can come together to understand the various struggles we face in different communities, violence and hate will prevail. The Hate U Give is an excellent illustration of an African American family's struggle to honor their roots but escape the violence of gang life while encountering implicit racism that often rules in white America. This book does an excellent job of both worlds, not shying away from the ugly and beauty also found in the complexities of being human, owning culture, and learning to live and even love each other.
