"McCarthyism didn't just affect the Hollywood players-the actors, directors, writers, and all the people behind the scenes like my father.

Coming to bookshelves in ten days! SOLA: Hollywood, McCarthyism, and a Motherless Childhood Abroad

After her father’s career was destroyed by McCarthyism, and her mother’s sudden death, Julietta and her father moved across Europe finding community with others in the industry who also had to carve out new lives. From Austria to Italy, Ibiza to the Canary Islands, Julietta sought to find a place where she belonged in a world where she was always an outsider defined by others. Too American. Not American enough. Motherless. Jewish. Alone. In SOLA, Julietta shares the childhood experiences that led her to a career in reproductive rights and maternal health, empowering others where she felt lost and voiceless.

The reviews are coming in! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"I know that Appleton's experiences are very different from mine, but at the end of the day, as a woman I have felt the same fear, rage, and desire to do more for my gender as her. It was an unexpected and incredible journey to read her memories, know this woman, and learn that we are not alone but accompanied by our women ancestors."

Uber-big book retailers like Amazon and B&N are the popular kids in the publishing world, and they’re making it harder and harder to sit with them.

So, how do we compete? Look to your indie bookstores, the drama club kids of the publishing world. The creative, talented ones who refuse to follow the trends and instead create their own.
