“When Jane finds herself in foster care while her father spends another stint in rehab, she’s determined not to make friends with anyone because this is the last time they’ll be apart. As days go by and she settles into Three Boulders, Jane realizes that family is more than your relatives — it’s who stands by you when you need them. Wonderful characters and authentic voices make this story one for all to share.”
— Cathy Berner, Blue Willow Bookshop, Houston, TX

Description

A pitch-perfect story exploring the many meanings of family, Jody J. Little's tough yet tender debut is perfect for fans of Leslie Connor and Katherine Paterson.

After Pop is sent back to rehab, Jane Pengilly arrives at her newest foster home determined to stick to the straight and narrow and get back to her beloved dad as soon as she can. It's not the first time they've been apart, but Jane's determined it will be the last.

Twelve days out in the boonies of Three Boulders makes Jane miss Pop more than ever. But as the days go by, she realizes that family is more than who you're related to--and that a home can be found in the unlikeliest of places.

Mostly the Honest Truth sparkles with a fully realized supporting cast, a safe and supporting setting, and a writer whose ability to imbue her stories with love and hope marks her an author to watch.

The Human Rights Pocketbook Venture

The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), in its 2019 Global Peace Index, which ranks nation states in order of their peacefulness, ranks the United States of America in the bottom quarter of peaceful nation states.

The Human Rights Pocketbook Venture is a positive peace initiative of the Empathy Surplus Project (ESP), a UN Global Compact (UNGC) participant since 2014. ESP invites its colleagues in the UNGC, as well as civil society organizations like Rotary and Lions, to partner with its Human Rights Pocketbook Venture to distribute a personal copy of the pocketbook with every 9th grader and incoming college freshman every year.

ESP is grateful for Rotarians for Peace in Wilmington, Ohio, for being the first to distribute pocketbooks to first year students participating in the Westheimer Peace Symposium, Wilmington College, and East Clinton High School 9th graders.

First Lady of the United States of America Eleanor Roosevelt was a major contributor to the development of the ﬁnal draft of the UDHR. In 1948, she wrote,

“Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home - so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends; the factory, farm or ofﬁce where he works. Such are the places where every man, woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world."
