Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a slave cabin? In Sleeping with the Ancestors: How I Followed the Footprints of Slavery, an enlightening personal account, Joseph McGill tells the story of his groundbreaking project to sleep overnight in former slave dwellings that still stand across the country—revealing the fascinating history behind these sites and shedding light on larger issues of race in America.
Burned-out by both her marriage and work, Liz is desperate for an escape. More than that, she craves an adventure, a total reset. So when she plans a vacation with her three best friends, she persuades them to spend four nights camping in the stunning mountains of Norway. Following a trail that climbs through lush valleys, towering peaks, and past jewel-blue lakes, Liz is sure that the hike is just what they need.
But as they stride farther from civilization, it becomes clear that the women are not the only ones looking to lose themselves in the mountains. The wilderness hides secrets darker than they could ever have imagined, and if they’re not careful, not all of them will return.
Today, we are spotlighting Brooke Richards, whose enthusiasm for libraries and learning is absolutely contagious to patrons and staff alike!
