Since the founding of the United States, small groups of concerned citizens have been instrumental in improving America. "Boomers to Millennials: Moving America Forward" is a call-to-action for a new, younger generation to take up the mantle of leadership, socially, politically, and economically. Co-authored by a father-son Boomer-Millennial duo, this timely book addresses hot-button issues - from immigration reform, to climate change, to discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation or gender - while also providing illuminating historical context.

As a small boy, Pieter Kohnstam lived with his parents in an apartment in Amsterdam during World War II. By coincidence, one of their neighbors was the Frank family, including Anne Frank, who became Pieter's sometime babysitter and playmate. When the Nazis occupied The Netherlands, the Frank family went into hiding, but the Kohnstams decided to flee. They made their way across Belgium and France, crossing the Pyrenees to Spain in a year-long journey filled with dangerous border crossings, and miraculous escapes. They spent the nights sleeping under bushes and trees, and hiding in barns, hotels, a bordello, and the homes of strangers from all walks of life, both Christian and Jewish, who took them in and helped them. The Bishop of Barcelona interceded personally to make it possible for them to travel by ship to Argentina. Based on a memoir of Pieter's father, Hans Kohnstam, "A Chance to Live" is a gripping tale of struggle, determination and survival during the Holocaust, chronicling what is best about people, and affirming that we are, after all, one human family. With a new Appendix describing Hans Kohnstam's subsequent life as an artst in Munich Germany

If Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay found it necessary to sell the Constitution in a series of papers published for all to see, shouldn't we engage in the same exercise for the purposes of restoring its original luster and applying it to the challenges of a modern world? In The Federalist Pages, attorney, physician, and State Representative, Julio Gonzalez, does just that. In a meticulously researched summary of America's constitutional and legislative histories, Dr. Gonzalez recounts the factors that made the Constitution truly magnificent and how she was morphed from its original state. He then recommends corrections aimed at restoring her original intent and addressing the challenges facing America today. If you've ever wondered how the United States and her Constitution were corrupted and whether it's possible to salvage them, then you have to read The Federalist Pages.

Ocoee! is a powerful coming-of-age story that bears witness to an event that occurred in a small town near Orlando, Florida during the 1920 Presidential election. In response to African Americans attempting to exercise their right to vote, a mob of white supremacists and Ku Klux Klan members went on a rampage through a black neighborhood, killing a number of people and burning many homes. The survivors, nearly 500 of them, fled, never to return. For more than 60 years, Ocoee became a white-only town.This fictionalized account chronicles the massacre and the events surrounding it as seen through the eyes of a spirited, young white girl, Georgia Kambel. Her diary brings to life the community and the many people involved. Her great granddaughter, Cassie, who is writing a thesis about what happened, supplements the entries with her own research, connecting the distant past to our times. What emerges is a poignant tale, filled with love, laughter, anger, violence, heartbreak, tears, and painful realizations about the deep divide of racial relations in the rural South nearly a century ago. But Ocoee! doesn't merely document a distressing chapter of American history. Ultimately, it is about the power of forgiveness, understanding and healing that points toward the possibility of a better future for all of us today.
