KATHY'S SECRET
Some secrets die with the dead. Others haunt the loved ones that are left behind. Discover the inner despair, resilience and loves of Kathy . . . after she's gone!
ONE HOT NIGHT
Who would have thought that the revolution against bigotry, police brutality and anti-LGBTQ rights would have begun on that hot summer night at the Stonewall Inn? Who could have predicted the courage of the unlikely heroes, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, victims of intolerance themselves? Heroines are born when victims find the resilience to rise up, like these ladies of the revolution!
