Synopsis The King's Daughter by : Joshua Gilman

The King looked at the princess carefully. The mud. The dirt. The torn dress. "You are still my daughter," he said. "It doesn't matter what you do. And it doesn't matter what anyone else does to you. Nobody can ever change the fact that you are my daughter. Not even you." He hugged her close. And as he held her, all the dirt and mud and stains came off of her dress and onto his royal robes. The King's Daughter is a story that Joshua Gilman made up when speaking to a group of youth. As the story spontaneously poured out of him in response to the unspoken pain on one of the girls faces, he realized he was telling the story he wanted every daughter to know. That no matter what they do, no matter what anyone does to the, nothing can change their worth and value. With a beautiful fairy-tale setting created by illustrator Jeff Frizzell, The King's Daughter can be read as by any parent to their daughter to let her know how much she is valued. Joshua Gilman has been speaking to parents and youth about the harms of exploitive content since 2015. It was by sharing his own story of pain and redemption that opened doors in every kind of setting to speak to those who were both hurting, and those who care about protecting the next generation. His dream is for every child to know they are safe, protected, and royalty. If this book helps you let your daughter know how much she is worth, then he will be immeasurably happy.

A Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize Winner of the Kirkus Prize for Fiction • A Recipient of the Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction • A Finalist for the James Tait Black Prize for Fiction • A Finalist for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction • A Finalist for the Rathbones Folio Prize • Longlisted for an Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence • One of New York Times Book Review 100 Notable Book Named a Best Book of the Year by Entertainment Weekly • GQ • The New York Times (Selected by Dwight Garner) • NPR • The Wall Street Journal • San Francisco Chronicle • Refinery29 • Booklist • Kirkus Reviews • Commonweal Magazine "In its poetic splendor and moral seriousness, The Sport of Kings bears the traces of Faulkner, Morrison, and McCarthy. . . . It is a contemporary masterpiece."—San Francisco Chronicle Hailed by The New Yorker for its “remarkable achievements,” The Sport of Kings is an American tale centered on a horse and two families: one white, a Southern dynasty whose forefathers were among the founders of Kentucky; the other African-American, the descendants of their slaves. It is a dauntless narrative that stretches from the fields of the Virginia piedmont to the abundant pastures of the Bluegrass, and across the dark waters of the Ohio River; from the final shots of the Revolutionary War to the resounding clang of the starting bell at Churchill Downs. As C. E. Morgan unspools a fabric of shared histories, past and present converge in a Thoroughbred named Hellsmouth, heir to Secretariat and a contender for the Triple Crown. Newly confronted with one another in the quest for victory, the two families must face the consequences of their ambitions, as each is driven---and haunted---by the same, enduring question: How far away from your father can you run? A sweeping narrative of wealth and poverty, racism and rage, The Sport of Kings is an unflinching portrait of lives cast in the shadow of slavery and a moral epic for our time.

Synopsis The Truth about Stories by : Thomas King

Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.
