Laurie Halse Anderson - 2019-01-15 (впервые опубликовано в 1999)
Рейтинг Goodreads
На школьной вечеринке по поводу окончания летних каникул пятнадцатилетняя Мелинда вызвала полицейских, но сбежала до приезда копов, ничего и никому не объяснив. Поэтому учебный год начался для нее ужасно. Друзья отвернулись от девушки. В школе никто с ней не общается. Она - изгой, пария. И постепенно сама Мелинда перестает разговаривать не только в школе, но и дома. Сможет ли девушка рассказать о том, что действительно произошло на вечеринке? Сможет ли она дать отпор тому, кто обидел ее и кого она считает чудовищем? Удастся ли Мелинде преодолеть свои страхи и начать говорить?

Hiding in Plain Sight
The Invention of Donald Trump and the Erosion of America
Sarah Kendzior - 2020-04-07
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book by Sarah Kendzior delves into the erosion of American liberty and the rise to power of Donald Trump. Kendzior expertly links key moments in Trump's life with the degradation of American politics and the erosion of civil liberties by foreign powers. This book offers a never-before-seen look at her personal life and her lifelong tendency to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hiding in Plain Sight is a necessary examination of the ongoing loss of freedom and secrets behind a burgeoning autocratic United States that have been hiding in plain sight for decades.

@ryanbeckwith @irac99 That's wonderful - thank you! If you're looking for another amazing historical fiction novel, check out Prairie Lotus by @LindaSuePark.
