A resounding testament to individuality and the power of family in all forms from the young man who “lit up the Internet” (Ellen DeGeneres)
On January 31, 2011, Zach Wahls addressed the Iowa House Judiciary Committee in a public forum regarding full marriage equality. The nineteen-year-old son of a same-sex couple, Wahls proudly proclaimed, “The sexual orientation of my parents has had zero effect on the content of my character.” Hours later, his speech was posted on YouTube, where it went viral, quickly receiving more than two million views. By the end of the week, everyone knew his name and wanted to hear more from the boy with two moms.
Same-sex marriage will be a major—possibly the defining—issue in this year’s election cycle, and Wahls speaks to that, but also to a broader issue. Sure, he’s handsome and athletic, an environmental engineering student, and an Eagle Scout. Yet, growing up with two moms, he knows what it’s like to feel different and to fear being made fun of or worse. In the inspirational spirit of It Gets Better edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller, My Two Moms also delivers a reassuring message to same-sex couples, their kids, and anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider: “You are not alone.”

This Allan Classics eBook is complete with Original Illustrations, Inter-Active Table of Contents, and Logical TOC (NCX) Navigation Paths.
“Child's Story of the Bible by Mary A. Lathbury�, first published in 1898, is a classic among Bible stories for very good reasons.
Not only is the text easy and interesting for both adults and children, but the more than 70 illustrations, some in full color, are absolutely glorious.
The full-color illustrations are beautiful, and similar to what might be seen in today's children's books, but the photo-engravings depicting various scenes from the Bible are particularly remarkable, and must be considered true works of art.
Because the originals are so sharp and clear, they display beautifully on the Kindle, and are outstanding on a color display such as Kindle for PC.
All 70-plus illustrations are listed in the “Inter-Active� Table of Contents in this Allan Classics edition, and can be viewed with a simple touch of a button.
The navigation features described below give you the ability to quickly find what you want without having to go through, page by page, as is the usual case with eBooks.
The Inter-Active Table of Contents allows you to choose any Chapter, Illustration, or other Major Topic and move quickly back and forth among them by simply clicking the title in the Table of Contents.
The Logical TOC (NCX) adds even faster navigation aids. You don't' have to go back to the Table of Contents to select a new topic, but can skip back and forth between topics with a simple press of the Kindle 5-way toggle.
