Sense and Sensibility


Jane Austen’scharming, witty and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood, now an irresistible new feature film starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles"The more I know of the world, the more am I convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!"Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love – and its threatened loss – the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.

Rowdy Girl


With raw honesty and vulnerability, Rowdy Girl illuminates the realities of animal agriculture through tracing the author’s journey from a poor upbringing to life as the wife of a Texas cattle rancher. Unable to reconcile the cruel realities of her husband Tommy’s business, Renee King-Sonnen begins to question some of society’s most basic assumptions about the animals we eat and the food systems we uphold. These questions spark a profound transformation—and a determination to save the very cattle her husband’s livelihood depends on. The couple’s opposing worldviews lead to escalating conflict, pushing their marriage to the brink. Seeking support, King-Sonnen connects with online vegan communities and launches a secret Facebook diary, The Vegan Journal of a Cattle Rancher’s Wife. With a growing following, she rallies support for an ambitious plan: buy Tommy’s herd, take over the ranch, and transform it into an animal sanctuary. The suspense peaks in December 2014, when Tommy agrees to sell her the cattle for $30,000—if she can raise the funds before they’re sent to slaughter. More than a memoir, Rowdy Girl is a story of spiritual awakening and ethical transformation. It reveals the shared ground between ranchers and vegans—a commitment to compassion, tradition, and sustainability—while challenging the foundations of animal agriculture. Through her deeply personal journey, King-Sonnen invites readers to consider their own relationship with animals, the food they eat, and the possibility of living with greater compassion.
