Sharon McMahon's The Small and the Mighty profiles twelve often-overlooked Americans who significantly impacted history, from the nation's founding to the Civil Rights era. The book's strength lies in its engaging storytelling and focus on underrepresented figures, enriching our understanding of the past. While its scope is limited to these twelve individuals, potentially oversimplifying some events, the overall effect is inspiring and thought-provoking. The accessible writing style makes it suitable for a broad audience, encouraging readers to reconsider traditional narratives of heroism. It's highly recommended for those seeking a more inclusive perspective on American history.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
