Chapman books
Steven Curtis Chapman is a well-known Christian musician. I have been listening to his music for more than 20 years. He and his wife, Mary Beth, had three children and then adopted three more children from China. Then, the whole world heard that their family suffered a tragic accident – one of their sons hit and killed one of their daughters when she ran in front of his truck. They had to find ways to grieve and lean on each other, all while taking care of the son who was living through a very traumatic event.

Warriors Don't Cry
Could you fight through emotional and physical abuse every day at school just to make a difference? Nine students did this exact thing in 1957 when they integrated into Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Melba was one of these students and she writes the bare bones truth about her experience in Warriors Don’t Cry. It gives a first-person perspective to a very important time in U.S. history.
