Orion Ruhane, a Jesuit professor at Regis College in Denver, was surprised by a statement made by a lecturer one night in Albuquerque: "I have never met an Indian who was a real Christian." In response, Orion relays the story of his mother, Emily Rising Moon. With captivating prose, William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., tells the life stories of Emily Rising Moon and her grandson Orion Ruhane, descendents of the "True People," or as the French called Potawatomi, the People of the Fire. Daughter of Rising Moon describes the Christian faith among Native American, along with the importance of maintaining cultural traditions such as art and storytelling.

Inspiring Greatness is the story of the annexation in western Independence and Sugar Creek Missouri. In 2005 a grass-roots movement began to take shape among concerned parents, community, and government leaders to move the schools in western Independence and Sugar Creek from the Kansas City, Missouri School District to the Independence School District. This effort was born of a desire to provide children of this community with a high-quality education from an accredited district. The Independence School District responded to the requests and the initiative gained momentum. The change in boundaries was passed with an overwhelming majority by voters from both ISD and KCMSD on November of 2008. However, in the months leading up to the vote and months ensuing, the Independence School District faced great opposition from leaders of KCMSD in their attempts to make this transition as seamless and fair as possible for the community, families, and children involved. The community and the district triumphed at the polls, in court, and worked together like never before with a strong commitment and focus of doing what is right for children. This story speaks volumes about volunteerism, community activism, and people dedicated to the American dream.
