Determined to liberate five quirky, ragtag orphans not likely to be adopted by caring people, they vowed the children would not end up as they had fourteen years ago. Back then, Merry and Polly and the two boys adopted with them from that orphan train worked as slaves. They received little food, substandard living quarters, and insufficient clothing to protect against the cold winters. Mary and Polly's children love their new home and family at the sisters' Mockingbird boarding house. The rescue idea appears to have been a great success-until the supervisor from the Children's Protection Society arrives. Single women are not allowed to adopt. Merry and Polly each has five days to find a suitable husband who won't steal her share of the boarding house.

In addition to Orphan Train Brides, the authors have in their future projects a duet about the two brothers, Bart and Newton Bird.

Download or read book Minor Marriage in Early Islamic Law written by Carolyn Baugh and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Minor Marriage in Early Islamic Law, Carolyn Baugh offers an in-depth exploration of 8th-13th century legal sources on the marriageability of prepubescents, focusing on such issues as maintenance, sexual readiness, consent, and a father’s right to compel. Modern efforts to resist establishment of a minimum marriage age in countries such as Saudi Arabia rest on claims of early juristic consensus that fathers may compel their prepubescent daughters to marry. This work investigates such claims by highlighting the extremely nuanced discussions and debates recorded in early legal texts. From the works of famed early luminaries to the “consensus writers” of later centuries, each chapter brings new insights into a complex and enduring debate.
