Poétesse rom à la voix de feu, Zoli fascine ceux qui l'approchent mais reste insaisissable. Élevée sur les routes par son grand-père, qui a bravé l'interdit tzigane en lui apprenant à lire et à écrire, Zoli découvre très jeune le pouvoir des mots. Mais coucher sur le papier l'histoire de sa communauté, c'est livrer aux gadze une partie de l'âme tzigane. Adulée par le régime communiste avant de devenir paria, bannie par les siens pour avoir transgressé les règles, Zoli paiera sa liberté au prix fort... Parabole sur l'exil, éloge de la différence, Zoli est le voyage sans retour dans l'Europe des années trente à nos jours, d'une femme à la volonté impitoyable, et, à travers elle, un hymne aux " errants du monde " que l'on veut à toute force sangler à la terre.

She brings the option of birth control to their doorsteps, and with it the right to determine their own destinies. Or so she believes. When she is assigned to administer birth control to two school-age Black girls, the Williams sisters, who live off an old unpaved road in a shack without running water, Civil can''t help but feel uneasy. She grows close to the family and becomes fiercely invested in their well-being. And then she makes a shocking discovery: the girls have been involuntarily sterilized. Civil is shocked that such a terrible mistake could have taken place, and vows to get to the bottom of it. She soon learns that this is no isolated event but a pattern, far more serious than she could ever have imagined, targeting poor Black women. Could her clinic be responsible? Had she and her fellow Black nurses been complicit? No matter how ugly, Civil is determined for the truth to be brought to light. Based on true events, Take My Hand brims with hope, compassion, and the burning pursuit of justice.

It''s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island when Phoebe Stone arrives at the Cornwall Inn wearing her best dress and least comfortable heels. The lobby, in fact every room at the hotel, is occupied by wedding people. Every room except Phoebe''s.
On her way up in the elevator, she gets trapped with the bride, who realizes Phoebe isn''t here for the ''wedding week'' and demands to know her intentions. Without shame, Phoebe shares that she has come to the Cornwall because it is her happy place, and it''s here that she plans to end her life.
The bride is livid, and simply will not have her perfectly planned wedding ruined by this sad stranger. That night - as the wedding people begin their atrocious speeches - Phoebe wavers and finds that she cannot turn away from their drama and dysfunction. She is still broken, but for the next five days she is suddenly pulled into a family she doesn''t belong to, and the matrimonial chaos that might just lead to a happy ever after.
