The amazing tale of how a pack of wild Chihuahuas helped win the Mexican Revolution! This daring adventure will give readers of all ages a view into the plucky tenacity of the mighty dogs who helped Pancho Villa and the Mexican people triumph.
 Suddenly, the fur on Lola’s back stood straight up. “We must find Pancho Villa,” she barked.
 “What? What are you saying?” The eight dogs in Lola’s pack began to yap and yammer.
 “If Pancho Villa is in trouble, we should try to help,” she said. “And maybe, just maybe, Pancho Villa can help the Chihuahuas.”
 “Why should we help him?” said Joaquin with an angry snarl, his mean eyes glaring. “This is the craziest talk I’ve ever heard. I’m the leader now, remember?” He roughly commanded the other dogs: “Let’s get out of here.”
 As Lola watched them trot off, she felt desperate to keep hold of her pack, the only survivors of the more than one hundred desert dogs that ran strong when her father, the legendary Cuauhtémoc, led them. Lola made a big decision. She would unite her tired, hungry, and dirty dogs on a journey to find Pancho Villa, the great revolutionary leader.
 "Riveting and highly entertaining, 'The Wild Chihuahuas of Mexico' will remind kids everywhere to never give up, even when things get tough." Linzi Glass, award-winning children's author of "Finding Danny" and "The Year the Gypsies Came"

Actress Susan Priver began her love affair with the stage as a young ballerina handpicked to attend George Balanchine’s School of American Ballet at age 14. But at 17 she blows her chance to become part of the New York City Ballet when she succumbs to a bout of debilitating depression.She eventually restarts her ballet career, dancing with New York’s Eglevsky Ballet and the Hannover State Opera, in Germany. But when she’s fired by the Cleveland Ballet at age 24, she finds herself overwhelmed with shame, without the strength or confidence to audition for another company. For a dancer, not being employed and not performing, means you don’t exist. Susan travels back to her parent’s Los Angeles home hoping to get the love and compassion she never got. Instead, she’s reminded that she was never good enough. Life becomes a descent into hell. A series of waitressing jobs and bad relationships (including one with a Russian psychologist who has a penchant for shoplifting), ensue. Searching for a self without ballet, Susan unconsciously seeks to feel the pain that ballet dancers must endure on a daily basis. Only after hitting rock bottom does she find the courage to reconnect to her love for the stage. This is her personal story of discovering meaning without the veil of ballet, a story of overcoming and learning how to live in the real world without a tiara.

Dancer Interrupted: A true expose of a ballerina's fall from grace.
