In Birth Without Fear (Hachette), January Harshe – founder of the global online community of the same name – delivers a positive, passionate message of empowerment surrounding everything that involves having a baby.

Ibtihaj Muhammad

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

Growing up in New Jersey as the only African American Muslim at school, Ibtihaj Muhammad always had to find her own way. When she discovered fencing, a sport traditionally reserved for the wealthy, she had to defy expectations and make a place for herself in a sport she grew to love. As the only woman of color and the only religious minority on Team USA's saber fencing squad, Muhammad had to chart her own path to success and Olympic glory. Proud (Hachette) is a moving coming-of-age story from one of the nation's most influential athletes, illustrating how she rose above it all.
