Our site is missing all but this front page as we deal with technical issues. Still, our two featured books are terrific. Voices from the Street earned a silver in the 2008 Nautilus Awards in the category Social Change/Activism/Peaceful Solutions and a 2008 bronze IPPY Book Award for West-Pacific Best Regional Non-fiction.
We publish practical information for strong communities on social justice, criminal justice, and community development. With a bit more indepth explanation, our books are meant for the general population; people who want useful guidance on important topics of social construction without being preached to. We give you the information, you make up your mind.
Gray Sunshine started in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in Vancouver, Washington. It's the place that inspired our name. We're now in Utah so our publisher can live close to his siblings and mother.
Just as the need is greatest, the opportunity to publish is the weakest.
If you like wholesome reading and soothing, beautiful art, then you'll want to visit our imprint Sofa Ink.

On 10 September 1976, Julienne was one of five hijackers of TWA flight 355. Though a desperately needed insight into how and why a person becomes involved in "terrorist" acts, this book is also a gripping personal narrative exploring how a young woman from a small Oregon coast town became the wife of a Croatian dissident and a revolutionary.
The book is a candid, guided exploration of homelessness—poignant and powerful. The book aspires beyond mere literary voyeurism. Monica Beemer, Executive Director of Sisters Of The Road explains, "Our hope is that we will build a sense of community, relationship, compassion, and awareness." This book connects readers to individuals, not to ideas, theories, or politics—real individuals whose stories and thoughts will enrich readers' lives.
The author provides a thematic narration that weaves together the interviews selected from more than 500 conducted by Sisters Of The Road with individuals experiencing homelessness. The book's 364 pages also include compelling photographs and family maps.
