“We have all seen how powerful the written word can be in our lives. The truth is even more evident when a child’s life has been torn with abuse. These books have offered a new and gentler world to these children.”
— Diana C. Lucas, Executive Director of The Family Violence Program, Inc. of Pitt County, North Carolina

What We Do


Words have the ability to change the human mind, heart, and spirit. Positive literature filled with good character and virtue has the power to transform the individual, which in turn transforms the world. Discover yourself. Discover a new world. A new world through literature.
— Whitney Johnson, Director of New Worlds Through Literature
