Chicken Soup for the Soul of America
by Matthew E. Adams Jack Canfield Mark Victor HansenMost American heroes aren't in our history books, nor do they have monuments erected in their honor.

If Nuns Ruled the World: Ten Sisters on a Mission
by Jo Piazza&“Fascinating profiles&” of remarkable nuns, from an eighty-three-year-old Ironman champion to a crusader against human trafficking (Daily News [New York]). &“In an age of villainy, war and inequality, it makes sense that we need superheroes,&” writes Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times. &“And after trying Superman, Batman and Spider-Man, we may have found the best superheroes yet: Nuns.&” In If Nuns Ruled the World, veteran reporter Jo Piazza overthrows the popular perception of nuns as killjoy schoolmarms, instead revealing them as the most vigorous catalysts of change in an otherwise repressive society. Meet Sister Simone Campbell, who traversed the United States challenging a Congressional budget that threatened to severely undermine the well-being of poor Americans; Sister Megan Rice, who is willing to spend the rest of her life in prison if it helps eliminate nuclear weapons; and the inimitable Sister Jeannine Gramick, who is fighting for acceptance of gays and lesbians in the Catholic Church. During a time when American nuns are often under attack from the very institution to which they devote their lives—and the values of the institution itself are hotly debated—these sisters offer thought-provoking and inspiring stories. As the Daily Beast put it, &“Anybody looking to argue there is a place for Catholicism in the modern world should just stand on a street corner handing out Piazza&’s book.&”
Boat of Stone: A Novel
by Maureen EarlIn October 1940, as the storm clouds of World War II gathered, the S.S. Atlantic set sail for Palestine. A condemned and overcrowded ship, it was filled to overflowing with bedraggled Jewish refugees who, having bought their way out of Nazi Germany, hoped to find safety from the burgeoning concentration camps that had begun to claim their brethren. They were not destined to find the safety they sought, however. Besides a merciless voyage, beset by shortages of fuel and food and raging epidemics, the survivors were ultimately incarcerated on a British penal colony off the eastern coast of Africa. These events, though factual, are little known. And it is from these true happenings that Maureen Earl has crafted a novel of power, poignancy, and redemption: a work that manages to transform tragedy into hopefulness, a paean to the determination to survive, to work, to get on with the business of life. Her fictional narrator is the elderly Hanna Sommerfeld, now living with her son and his family in Haifa. Her present life is seamlessly interwoven with her recollections of times past, of her flight from Germany as a young married woman, of her ambivalent relationship with her husband, and of her coming of age in the jungles of Mauritius. Hanna is one of the most unforgettable characters you are likely to meet: a gritty, humorous, wise, and adventurous woman who, in an age of victims, refuses to become one.
