Published: HarperOne - July 6th, 2021

Sitting Pretty is an incredibly powerful book that tackles Rebekah’s experiences with ableism and addresses the lack of representation and inclusion, true inclusion, head on.
 
"We don't want to include disabled perspectives just because it's nice or fair to the "handicapped" people.  We want to weave these stories in the collection, we want to consider disabled folks as worthy of their own, ordinary storylines, because without them. we are less robust, less flexible,  and less equipped for the ride we're already on,
 
So yes, representation is nothing short of everything."

An Evening with Martha Molnar: Playing God in the Meadow

"I don't think 'meadow' and 'meditation' have the same root, but perhaps they should―Molnar’s book is a lovely reminder of how you can see the world in an acre."―Bill McKibben, author of Falter: Has the Human Game Begun to Play Itself Out?
 

Please join us for an evening with Vermont author Martha Molnar for a discussion of her new book Playing God in the Meadow.

Rarely do I love a character as much as I loved ST, the wise-cracking crow who acts as our tour guide through this zombie apocalypse. Buxton's writing is hilarious, warm, and moving. I genuinely laughed and cried.
