Read & Raise - Star Alaska

STAR Reading Recommendations

In February 2023, we challenged our community to "Read & Raise" by encouraging our neighbors to read books recommended by survivors and advocates. The fundraiser has come to a close, but we believe the sharing of knowledge and healing resources should continue.

Let us know what you think of these titles (and/or suggest books we should add) by emailing us at [email protected]. Happy Reading!
