This is the true story of the renowned African American author Richard Wright and his determination to borrow books from the public library that turned him away because of his color. As a young black man in the segregated South of the 1920s, Wright was hungry to explore new worlds through books, but was forbidden from borrowing them from the library. This touching account tells of his love of reading, and how his unwavering perseverance, along with the help of a co-worker, came together to make Richard's dream a reality. Translated from Richard Wright and the Library Card, Richard Wright y el carn de biblioteca shares a poignant turning point in the life of a young man who became one of this country's most brilliant writers, the author of Native Son and Black Boy.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, The Gospel According to Sam is newly revised and updated with brand new stories of joy, love, and hope surrounding the Fearless Earless Airedale, Sam. The Gospel According to Sam is a collection of “animal stories for the soul,” written by William Miller, a priest and storyteller with an earthy sense of humor and a southern sensibility that has you laughing out loud. Sam is Miller's Airedale, a lovable, "wounded healer" of a dog who survived a house fire that burned off his ears but couldn't extinguish his spirit. Sam becomes a vehicle for healing, humor, adventure, spiritual growth, and prayer for Miller and his friends, neighbors, and parishioners. Heartwarming and thought-provoking, Miller’s meditations on life and faith aren't limited to Sam or even just dogs; birds, pigs, squirrels, rabbits, fish, bugs, and yaks feature in his stories. Twenty years after it first released, The Gospel According to Sam is still touching reader’s hearts. Featuring new stories of people who found God through Sam, dogs that have been rescued in his memory, and the sermons of him still being preached, the book brings people together in ways that only animals can.
