But things get sticky when the campaign’s talking points threaten to put her at odds with her best friend . . . and when she starts falling for the opposing candidate’s bad boy son.

Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom

Lynda Blackmon Lowery started fighting for the right to vote long before her 18^th birthday. A child marcher during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s, she was jailed nine times before her 15^th birthday for her participation in voting rights marches. She was the youngest person to march with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in the famous Voting Rights March of 1965. TURNING 15 ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM recounts Lynda’s experiences from that time in her own words — and shows how even one person can make a difference. Make no mistake: your vote counts.

A Mad, Wicked Folly

Sharon Biggs Waller takes readers back to the suffragette movement of the early 1900s in this historical fiction novel. A decade before women in the United States were given the right to vote, suffragettes in England were fighting for the same thing. In the book, Victoria Darling is lucky enough to be born into the upper echelons of society—but it’s a privilege that comes at a cost. Vicky dreams of being an artist, and after posing nude for an illicit art class, she’s expelled from her French finishing school. Her family, scandalized, wants to marry her off quickly, but Vicky’s having none of it. Soon, between her dress fittings and debutante balls, she’s joining protests for women’s suffrage, applying for art school, and falling in love with a working class boy—all under her parents’ noses.
