Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, a compelling biography of Lydia Maria Child, one of nineteenth-century America’s most courageous abolitionists. By 1830, Lydia Maria Child had established herself as something almost unheard of in the American nineteenth century: a beloved and self-sufficient female author. Best known today for the immortal poem “Over the River and through the Wood,” Child had become famous at an early age for spunky self-help books and charming children’s stories. But in 1833, Child shocked her readers by publishing a scathing book-length argument against slavery in the United States—a book so radical in its commitment to abolition that friends abandoned her, patrons ostracized her, and her book sales plummeted. Yet Child soon drew untold numbers to the abolitionist cause, becoming one of the foremost authors and activists of her generation. Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life tells the story of what brought Child to this moment and the extraordinary life she lived in response. Through Child’s example, philosopher Lydia Moland asks questions as pressing and personal in our time as they were in Child’s: What does it mean to change your life when the moral future of your country is at stake? When confronted by sanctioned evil and systematic injustice, how should a citizen live? Child’s lifetime of bravery, conviction, humility, and determination provides a wealth of spirited guidance for political engagement today.

One of Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Debut Novels of 2018. An Amazon Best Book of the Month and named a fall read by Buzzfeed, Nylon, Entertainment Weekly, Elle, Vanity Fair, Vulture, Refinery29 and Mind Body Green A gorgeous, raw debut novel about a young woman braving the ups and downs of motherhood in a fractured America In Lydia Kiesling’s razor-sharp debut novel, The Golden State, we accompany Daphne, a young mother on the edge of a breakdown, as she flees her sensible but strained life in San Francisco for the high desert of Altavista with her toddler, Honey. Bucking under the weight of being a single parent—her Turkish husband is unable to return to the United States because of a “processing error”—Daphne takes refuge in a mobile home left to her by her grandparents in hopes that the quiet will bring clarity. But clarity proves elusive. Over the next ten days Daphne is anxious, she behaves a little erratically, she drinks too much. She wanders the town looking for anyone and anything to punctuate the long hours alone with the baby. Among others, she meets Cindy, a neighbor who is active in a secessionist movement, and befriends the elderly Alice, who has traveled to Altavista as she approaches the end of her life. When her relationships with these women culminate in a dangerous standoff, Daphne must reconcile her inner narrative with the reality of a deeply divided world. Keenly observed, bristling with humor, and set against the beauty of a little-known part of California, The Golden State is about class and cultural breakdowns, and desperate attempts to bridge old and new worlds. But more than anything, it is about motherhood: its voracious worry, frequent tedium, and enthralling, wondrous love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lydia Maria Child presents the life of the dynamic nineteenth-century writer who, through her pen and at great personal cost to her literary career, spoke out for those silenced in society -- slaves, Native Americans, women, and the poor. At the dawn of the 1830s, Lydia Maria Child was a celebrated author, known for her popular domestic handbook, The Frugal Housewife, and Hobomok, a novel of American Indian life. In 1833, with the publication of her controversial Appeal in Favor of that Class of Americans Called Africans, Child's life changed dramatically from literary figure to antislavery activist. Her Appeal helped ignite the abolitionist movement, and several antislavery leaders -- including Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner -- credited it with converting them to the cause. An inspirational look at an extraordinary woman, Lydia Maria Child is the story of how one person fought for the basic human right of freedom -- for all. Oxford Portraits are informative and insightful biographies of people whose lives shaped their times and continue to influence ours. Based on the most recent scholarship, they draw heavily on primary sources, including writings by and about their subjects. Each book is illustrated with a wealth of photographs, documents, memorabilia, framing the personality and achievements of its subject against the backdrop of history.

Book excerpt: Nena, a final year medical student is expecting her first baby. Nena's father and mother, prospective grandparents of the expected baby are a hundred and more miles away in Sunderland, a small city in Southwestern Massachusetts. Dave, the prospective baby's father is domiciled in Johannesburg, thousands of miles across the Atlantic. The challenges of motherhood in the face of daunting academic realities for their only daughter compel the prospective grandparents to re-learn and re-assume the long-forgotten role of babysitting, a chapter which they had all but closed for three decades and more. In the process of searching for adequate childcare facilities, the couple encounter one facility whose proprietress Mama Titi, who though well-intentioned, is not what 21st century American children should be subjected to. The daunting and often-poorly-appreciated role of professional baby-sitters nonetheless gets fully appreciated. For Grandpa and Grandma, the sleepless nights, the near-unending shuttle between Boston and Sunderland and the re-learning of the art of diaper-changing are physically stressful. But they are more than adequately rewarded by all-engrossing toothless smiles of an adorable princess-granddaughter, Little Baby Lydia. Can any situation rival the unquantifiable joys of grandparenting? Should any considerations of profession and, or academic pursuits persuade any in Nena's situation to postpone child-rearing in the face of the exhilarating experiences by Nena. Can any other situation in professional or academic attainment confer morre joy and fulfillment than Nena experiences with the arrival of Little baby Lydia? Nena's neighborhood of residence in the beautiful Harbor Point Apartments in Boston, compounds the joy.Can the resounding joy of cuddling Little Baby Lydia by Mom, Grandma or Grandpa, be happily exchanged for any tons of gold, academic laurels or success in professional attainment? And when she beams a toothless smile, the innocence, helplessness and total resignationare is in full display. And the joy becomes near-complete.In the presence of Little Baby Lydia, all else pale into insignificance. For Grandpa and Grandma, the "Little Princess of Sunderland" towers beyond all else in conferment of self-fulfillment, humor, and reminiscence of memories of "the good old days". And the tiny but powerful personality is this new version of Rider Haggard's "She Who Must be Obeyed", the little lady who, with gentile smile of happiness or a shrill cry of disapproval, twists the universe of all around her on her fingertips. And the phenomenon that is Little Baby Lydia looms large, far beyond a mere fifty thousand words .
