In the words of Ezra Hyland,
Humans don’t make our stories, it’s stories that make us human. It’s not until we know the stories of each other that we embrace our humanity. When I know the stories of my people and my culture, that’s when I become human myself.

Continuing on from our previous post, we wanted to share some more titles that might help you diversify your reading experience. These are books we currently have in store but they will go quickly so give us a call (503-954-2354) to place an order now!
