Our Auntie Rosa is the most intimate portrait yet of the great American hero—"the lady who refused to sit in the back of the bus." The family of Rosa Parks share their remembrances of the woman who was not only the mother of the civil rights movement, but a nurturing mother figure to them as well. Her brave act on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1, 1955, was just one moment in a life lived with great humility and decency. After the deaths of Rosa Parks's husband and brother, her nieces and nephews became her only family and the closest that she would ever experience to having biological sons and daughters. In this book, they share with readers what she shared with them about her experiences growing up in a racist South, her deep dedication to truth and justice, and the personal values she held closest to her heart.

Based on a true story, A Girl Named Nina paints a vivid portrait of life in 1960s Brooklyn. Nina grows up in a tenement with Puerto Rican parents who came to America seeking a better life. Her father adores and protects her, teaches her to read, and encourages the many gifts he sees within her. Her mother is nurturing in her own way, as she struggles quietly with her own difficult past. Keenly aware of her surroundings from a very young age, Nina learns about the joys of childhood from a fourth-floor windowsill in her parents' apartment. Still too young to jump rope and play stick ball with children on the busy street below, she witnesses life from within the halls of her building-including physical and sexual abuse-but tells no one what she has seen. For Nina, the joys of coming of age are tempered with life's many harsh realities: her parents' separation, physical abuse, a friend's drug use, her best friend's murder, and the poverty that surrounds them all. Yet her spirit remains undaunted. Nina will not abandon her dream-her lifelong desire to become a doctor and rise above the hardships she has known, so that she can help guide others to a brighter future.
