Climbing Into Life

By: Melissa J Davey

Dierdre Wolownick is the oldest woman to ascend El Capitan in Yosemite. Never an athlete, she excelled in languages, art, music and other intellectual pursuits. In her 60's she began running and climbing out of curiosity. Her son, Alex Honnold of the film Free Solo was her mentor. Dierdre proves that we are never too old to try something new.

Five Flights

By: Kathleen Kaan Pansini

‘I live on the fifth floor on fifth street. I climb it every day. Five flights to nowhere. I’ll grow up and run away.’ These haunting words of a 10-year-old girl set the scene for this tragic tale of domestic abuse and serve as a warning about the dangers of guns in the home.

 

 

Estela, Is It You?

By: Fabian Martin, Laura Patalano

A grieving woman communicates with her dead husband through her car radio.

 

 

The Ocean, Hundreds of Birds and Grandpas Suona 

By: Jiaxun Xie, Yumo Zhang

The delicate relationship between three generations in a Chinese immigrant family was shattered by the sudden death of Grandpa. The first-generation immigrant mother believed that a traditional Chinese funeral and a conventional music band, featuring the Chinese ritual instrument Suona, would be the best way to honor her father.
