Book excerpt: The beloved characters and setting of the Christy books by Catherine Marshall are the basis of this illustrated story of Christmas love for children ages 4-8Ruby Mae, one of the students in Cutter Gap, brags that she’s spending Christmas with her father. The truth is that her father left her at the mission shortly after her mother died. Ruby Mae goes to the deserted family cabin where she tries to exist until Christmas is over rather than admit her father does not care enough to be there for her. While searching for firewood, she trips and bangs her head and falls unconscious into the snow. A concerned Christy goes on horseback to check on Ruby Mae and finds her wounded and bleeding. Christy manages to get Ruby Mae onto the horse and takes her to the nearby Spencer cabin. Not knowing his daughter is there, Ruby’s father shows up to greet the Spencers, just as Ruby Mae is coming around. He gives her a special gift to remember both this Christmas and her mother and promises to be a better father to her.This lovely story of renewal of relationships assures young children of how much God cares for all his children, and shows them the true meaning of Christmas.

Download or read book Margaret Sanger written by Jean H. Baker and published by Hill and Wang. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtedly the most influential advocate for birth control even before the term existed, Margaret Sanger ignited a movement that has shaped our society to this day. Her views on reproductive rights have made her a frequent target of conservatives and so-called family values activists. Yet lately even progressives have shied away from her, citing socialist leanings and a purported belief in eugenics as a blight on her accomplishments. In this captivating new biography, the renowned feminist historian Jean H. Baker rescues Sanger from such critiques and restores her to the vaunted place in history she once held. Trained as a nurse and midwife in the gritty tenements of New York's Lower East Side, Sanger grew increasingly aware of the dangers of unplanned pregnancy—both physical and psychological. A botched abortion resulting in the death of a poor young mother catalyzed Sanger, and she quickly became one of the loudest voices in favor of sex education and contraception. The movement she started spread across the country, eventually becoming a vast international organization with her as its spokeswoman. Sanger's staunch advocacy for women's privacy and freedom extended to her personal life as well. After becoming a wife and mother at a relatively early age, she abandoned the trappings of home and family for a globe-trotting life as a women's rights activist. Notorious for the sheer number of her romantic entanglements, Sanger epitomized the type of "free love" that would become mainstream only at the very end of her life. That she lived long enough to see the creation of the birth control pill—which finally made planned pregnancy a reality—is only fitting.
