A true classic! In this beautiful story, an unnamed narrator recalls her life living in a
mansion with her new husband, Maxim de Winter, while he mourns the death of his
previous wife, Rebecca. Told in purple prose, this chilling story not only resonates with
the rise and fall of the British aristocracy, but brings you on a “ghost story” you didn’t
know you needed.
This book traces the receipts of slaveholder wealth coming to Minnesota and how
Minnesotans capitalized off money from slavery. In this beautifully researched and
presented book, there are so many sections to consider as we relearn how to spend our
(and perhaps receive others’) capital in productive and beneficial ways. Highly
recommend for every Minnesotan!

An American classic that isn’t written by a man! I like to describe this book as the poor,
American version of Downton Abbey, where we experience the early 20 th century in New
York City through the eyes of a little girl growing up into society. Told in captured
narratives, this book rises and falls like episodes in a season of TV shows. I’m still just
captured by the visual at the beginning of the novel, where a tree, against all adversity,
can thrive by growing up fire escape scaffolding and flourish.
