This is your mother : a memoir / by Simpson, Erica J.,author.;
"Growing up, Erika Simpson's mother loomed large, almost biblical in her life. A daughter of sharecroppers, middle child of ten, her origin story served as a kind of Genesis. Her departure from home and a cheating husband, pursuing higher education along the way a kind of Exodus. Her rules for survival, often repeated like the Ten Commandments, guided Erika's own journey into adulthood. And the most important rule? Throughout her life, Sallie Carol preached the power of a testimony-which often proved useful in talking her way out of a bind with bill collectors. But where does a mother's story end and a daughter's begin? In this brave, illuminating memoir, Erika offers a joint recollection of their lives as they navigate times of poverty and stability, separation and togetherness, illness and remission. Her mother's uncanny ability to endure Job-like trials and manifest New Testament-style miracles made her seem invincible. But while those who raise us may start out as gods in our lives, through her mother's final months and fifth battle with cancer, Erika captures the moment you realize that parents are just people. Weaving together a dual timeline and elements from both scripture and pop culture, Erika explores how the lessons, dreams, and patterns we inherit influence our future, for better and worse. Powerful, moving, and unforgettable, This Is Your Mother is a gorgeously rendered story of a mother's life through a daughter's eyes as she navigates through grief to a place of clarity where she can see who she is without her mom -- and because of her"--

It stops here : standing up for our lands, our waters, and our people / by George, Rueben,author.; Simpson, Michael(Lecturer),author.;
"A personal account of one man's confrontation with colonization that illuminates the philosophy and values of a First Nation threatened by the Trans Mountain pipeline. It Stops Here is the story of the spiritual, cultural, and political resurgence of a nation taking action to reclaim their lands, waters, law, and food systems in face of colonization. The book recounts the intergenerational struggle of the Tsleil-Waututh to overcome the harms of colonization and the powerful stance they have taken against the expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline--a fossil fuel megaproject that would triple the capacity of tar sands bitumen piped to tidewater on their unceded territory and result in a sevenfold increase in oil tankers moving through their waters. The book provides a firsthand account of this resurgence as told by one of the most prominent leaders of the widespread opposition to the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion--Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. He has devoted more than a decade of his life to fighting this project and shares stories about his family's deep ancestral connections to these waters that have provided the Tsleil-Waututh with a rich abundance of foods and medicines since time immemorial. Despite the systematic attempts at cultural genocide enacted by the colonial state, Rueben recounts how key leaders of the community, such as his grandfather, Chief Dan George, always taught the younger generations to be proud of who they were and to remember the importance of their connection to the inlet. Part memoir, part call to action, It Stops Here urges policy makers to prioritize sacred territory over oil profits and insists that colonial Canada change its perspective from bending natural resources to their will to respecting this territory and those who inhabit it."--

Friends helping friends : a novel / by Hoffman, Patrick(Private investigator),author.;
"An exhilarating thriller about two best friends facing white nationalists on one side and dirty cops on the other-written with Patrick Hoffman's "crisp pace and superb timing" (Wall Street Journal). Bunny Simpson grew up in a hard-scrabble family in Grand Junction. Now in his early twenties living in Denver, he's stuck at a dead-end job and behind on his rent. His best friend, Jerry LeClair, feels similarly trapped in a life of dim prospects and small-time drug dealing. Enter Helen McCalla, an attorney with an axe to grind against her ex-husband, who happens to be a judge in the local court. She offers the boys a deal: beat the guy up, and she'll pay them some money. It's simple, just friends helping friends, right? Part crime novel, part portrait of working-class middle America, celebrated novelist Patrick Hoffman takes us on a tour of Denver's underbelly: its courts, jails, criminals, and dirty cops. Bunny never wanted any trouble. So how the hell did he end up at a white supremacist compound in rural Colorado? Tragic, scary, and at times hilarious, Friends Helping Friends is a study of the way generational trauma endures, an exploration of the vulnerability of our destinies-and an epic tale of how friendship can survive it all"--
