stories
Whenever I read a book, I immediately get transported into the world the author has created. I am often very inspired by stories of determination, persistence, and passion, and this is especially the case with works of advocacy. Whether you prefer fiction or non-fiction, long essays or short stories, literature shows us something new filled with anticipation.
