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"

Free-spirited Jolette can't abide by the rigid conformities of traditional society. As a young Midwestern teen, she defies her parents and teachers, runs away from home, and becomes pregnant at sixteen, forcing her to make difficult decisions. As a young woman in 1980s Seattle, Jolette works as an escort in an outcall massage agency, a job that gives her personal freedom, but makes her vulnerable to arrest and the Green River killer, who eluded police for twenty years, murdering numerous young female prostitutes in his hunting grounds of the Northwest.In her quest to find her place in the world, Jolette also enlists in the army, works as a fishing boat deckhand in Alaska, and as a mule in a Colombian drug smuggling trip. In her need to find love, she begins an obsessive relationship with a man who accepts her unconventional work, traveling with him through Europe and Northern Africa. All the while Jolette nurtures his lifelong dream to work as a foreign correspondent. But while she doggedly pursues this goal despite many challenges, it is the sudden diagnosis of epilepsy that derails Jolette and sends her into a downward spiral of self-destructive behavior. Jolette is a candid memoir of resilience and a revelatory and fresh perspective into the life of a sex worker. It is a deeply moving and unflinching story of a young woman's quest to find her own voice and true love despite her feelings of uncertainty, pain, and loneliness, and how she ultimately finds her inner strength and courage.
