Download or read book No Ordinary Lives written by Marilyn Seguin and published by Branden Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diaries in this collection include the writings of four young people between the ages of twelve and twentya boy growing up on a lake in Maine, a sea captain's daughter, a Shaker farm boy, and a daughter raised by a single mom. What can we discover from these diaries? Readers may be surprised, for example, by the technology available to Delmer Wilson in the Shaker community in 1887. Because all these diaries were produced during the writers' developmental years, teachers and young readers may find comments about school and growing-up issues to be of some interest. Young readers will also want to compare teenage life today with that of the past. Some teenage girls of today may find that their pastimes don't differ all that much from those of Ethel Godfrey in 1894. And, like Augusta Skolfield, how many of us have gazed up at a bright moon and thought about that same light shining on loved ones far away? Readers will find the personalities themselves of great interest. Nat Hathorne, f

Book excerpt: The ruins of an industrial past provide the perfect haunting grounds in this spirited Ohio city. Run down the apparitions that float down Rubber City streets and façades like the shadow of a passing blimp. Stroll along forgotten canals amid the restless chatter and clank of spirits cut down before their hard lives became easier. Catch a show at the Civic Theater with a “former” engineer who prophesied that death wouldn’t keep him from work. A more restive spirit is that of John Tedrow, a twenty-something mauled and murdered during a drunken brawl in 1882; he wails for help and resolution. In this ghostly tour through Akron’s haunted and sometimes brutal past, paranormal specialist and historian Jeri Holland digs into the ghost tales and local legends that linger here like this city’s industrial heritage. “Haunted Akron is a tour of events, places and creepy legends.” —Ohio.com

Download or read book Dogs of War written by Marilyn Seguin and published by Branden Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although many books have depicted the roles of men and women in the Civil War, Dogs of War, on the other hand, contains important information on the roles that animal played in that brutal war. Few people know that many soldiers carried their pets with them when they went off to war, that dogs provided the recruits with both companionship and a connection to the home front, and that cats, birds and goats, not to mention Old Abe, the eagle, served as mascots. Mules and horses, however, were the animals that bore the brunt of the war alongside the American soldiers fighting against each other in a devastating war that was to see the preservation of the Union and the end to the scourge of chattel slavery." -- Amazon.com.

Download or read book The Secret written by Anna Enquist and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three storylines run through The Secret, like themes in a symphony, sometimes merging, sometimes overlapping, and sometimes going in different directions: this is the story of Wanda Wierickhe, the story of her past and the story of Bouw, the man she left. Concert pianist Wanda Wiericke sees music as a way of escaping reality. It is her answer to questions about her place in the world. When forced to choose, she leaves her husband for it. But when her mother literally spits up the secret on her deathbed, Wanda is no longer able to withdraw into her music. A rheumatic disorder prevents her from playing: she does not touch a piano again until she has come to terms with her past. Enquist offers no easy solutions. The book's climax does not come with the revelation of the secret, but in the process of coming to terms with it. The Secret has been translated by Jeannette K. Ringold; it was originally published in 1997 as Het Geheim.

Download or read book Curfew written by Jayne Cowie and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Think The Handmaid's Tale but with the women in charge, set in a world where all men are electronically tagged and placed under strict curfew, and the murder investigation threatening to undo it all. Imagine a near-future Britain in which women dominate workplaces, public spaces, and government. Where the gender pay gap no longer exists and motherhood opens doors instead of closing them. Where women are no longer afraid to walk home alone, to cross a dark parking lot, or to catch the last train. Where all men are electronically tagged and not allowed out after 7 p.m. But the curfew hasn’t made life easy for all women. Sarah is a single mother who happily rebuilt her life after her husband, Greg, was sent to prison for breaking curfew. Now he’s about to be released, and Sarah isn’t expecting a happy reunion, given that she’s the reason he was sent there. Her teenage daughter, Cass, hates living in a world that restricts boys like her best friend, Billy. Billy would never hurt anyone, and she’s determined to prove it. Somehow. Helen is a teacher at the local school. Secretly desperate for a baby, she’s applied for a cohab certificate with her boyfriend, Tom, and is terrified that they won’t get it. The last thing she wants is to have a baby on her own. These women don’t know it yet, but one of them is about to be violently murdered. Evidence will suggest that she died late at night and that she knew her attacker. It couldn’t have been a man because a CURFEW tag is a solid alibi. Isn’t it?

Download or read book Tinfoil Butterfly written by Rachel Eve Moulton and published by MCD x FSG Originals. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shining meets About a Boy in this electrifying debut about a troubled young woman and a lonely boy facing their demons in the frozen Black Hills. Emma is hitchhiking across the United States, trying to outrun a violent, tragic past, when she meets Lowell, the hot-but-dumb driver she hopes will take her as far as the Badlands. But Lowell is not as harmless as he seems, and a vicious scuffle leaves Emma bloody and stranded in an abandoned town in the Black Hills with an out-of-gas van, a loaded gun, and a snowstorm on the way. The town is eerily quiet and Emma takes shelter in a diner, where she stumbles across Earl, a strange little boy in a tinfoil mask who steals her gun before begging her to help him get rid of “George.” As she is pulled deeper into Earl’s bizarre, menacing world, the horrors of Emma’s past creep closer, and she realizes she can’t run forever. Tinfoil Butterfly is a seductively scary, chilling exploration of evil—how it sneaks in under your skin, flaring up when you least expect it, how it throttles you and won't let go. The beauty of Rachel Eve Moulton's ferocious, harrowing, and surprisingly moving debut is that it teaches us that love can do that, too.

Book excerpt: Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More! Learn a little about the history and traditions of Hanukkah. Whether you are Jewish or not you will still love to read the stories, do the activities, and try the recipes, and more! Kids will love to help celebrate this sacred holiday. Festive Hanukkah reason-behind-the-recipe from Hanukkah Activities, Crafts, Recipes, and More!: Latkes are potato pancakes fried in oil. The reason Latkes are such a popular Hanukkah recipe is because oil is a reminder of the miraculous oil that lasted for eight days when the Temple of Jerusalem was rededicated. Spinning dreidels, sizzling latkes, singing children at the synagogue, flickering candles, and the scent of sweet sufganiyot wafting throughout the house... these are some of my favorite sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish holiday in December. More than 2,000 years ago, a small band of Jewish rebels, armed with their faith in God, defeated a mighty army from a mighty empire. Hanukkah celebrates this important victory that led to the freedom and independence of the Jewish people. This book is packed with wonderful stories, interesting facts, great crafts, and lots more for you to enjoy during the Hanukkah season (or anytime you just WANT it to be Hanukkah!). I've included games, songs, puzzles, trivia, projects, recipes, and even a family Hanukkah newsletter! Remember, when it comes to celebrating Hanukkah with your loved ones, a truly creative mind can always come up with endless ideas! This special season is celebrated by children all around the world from Israel to America. So whether you are building a snowman or a sandcastle this December, I hope this activity book helps you learn more about this special holiday. Happy Hanukkah! Carole Marsh & the Gallopade Gang
