Jack's Path of Courage
John F. Kennedy was a popular, charismatic president, beloved by many. But he didn't always believe he had the strength or courage for that office.

He overcame pain and self-doubt to see the country through one of the most difficult crises in its history./DIV DIVDoreen Rappaport once again combines real-life quotes with her own lyrical prose to create a moving portrait of a beloved figure.

Elizabeth Started All the Trouble
She couldn't go to college. She couldn't become a politician. She couldn't even vote. But Elizabeth Cady Stanton didn't let that stop her.
