help?

conversation. To show readers that they are not helpless,
and that anyone can be the change. A collection of

activism and hope, How I Resist features an all-star

In How I Resist, readers will find hope and support
through voices that are at turns personal, funny,
irreverent, and instructive. Not just for a young adult
audience, this incredibly impactful collection will
appeal to readers of all ages who are feeling adrift and
looking for guidance.

discussing for years to come and a staple on bookshelves
