The book is called Discoveries and our two most recent editions can be viewed on-line at http://www.boulderreads.org/discover.htm . Congratulations to Berkely Reads on your great story.

Perhaps some of you may find it useful to share with your learners. http://journalism.berkeley.edu/ngno/stories/003856.html I am wondering if any of your learners would be interested in posting their stories on this listserv? If yes, please make sure that the subject line states: my story. If we get enough stories we can post them on the women and literacy listerv main page!
