Happy New Release Tuesday, Source readers 📚✨

This week’s new releases invite you to think deeper about freedom, justice, imagination, and what it truly means to tell our stories—past, present, and future.

We’re excited to share The Lion’s Run by Sara Pennypacker (author of PAX), a powerful story about an orphaned boy named Lucas who discovers his courage by getting involved with the French Resistance during WWll

We’re also celebrating Derrick Barnes and Christian Gregory on Seven Million Steps, a moving reminder of perseverance and collective journey.

History takes center stage with Freedom Lost, Freedom Won by Eugene Robinson, a personal look at America’s unfinished promises, and I’ll Make Me a World by Jarvis R. Givens, which traces the 100-year evolution of Black History Month—right on time for February.

For readers curious about systems and solutions, we have The Racial Wealth Gap by Melissa Baradaran, breaking down how inequality was built, and Restorative Justice Up Close, edited by Sally Swarthout Wolf, offering firsthand perspectives on justice that actually works.

And for those who love bold storytelling, Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor challenges who gets to shape narratives in a future driven by power and imagination.

Come spend some time with us this week and explore books that ask big questions and spark real conversations. As you know, we’re a nonfiction-forward bookstore—if this speaks to you, our shelves are ready 🤎
