No More Games


Book Description

More than 14,000 women and girls are being trafficked in the United States each year. They’re not always shipped in from different countries; a majority are from the United States. They are picked up by men who prey on women insecure with themselves, struggling to pay their bills in college, or are single mothers. The list goes on with the way these men convince women to sell their bodies in the streets or in the strip clubs of America. In No More Games, author Sariah Lanae Hastings shares her story as a survivor of human trafficking. In this memoir, she tells how at eighteen she officially became a prostitute. For twenty years, she was trapped in “The Game,” being beaten and raped by men. Hastings narrates how God intervened, showed his grace, and helped her leave the sex trafficking life. No More Games chronicles Hastings’ fight for freedom and how she now helps other women find a way out. She wants others to know there is hope, and they can be saved and freed from bondage.




The Dot


Book Description

Features an audio read-along! With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark -- and follow where it takes us. Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can’t draw - she’s no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti’s journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds’s delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us.
