Book excerpt: Solving this case might resurrect her past....or she just may end up dead! Another unidentified body waits for Nellie Cox's detective skills in the small town of Goble, Oregon. Investigations in 1910 to locate the dead man's family could take months, so Police Chief Homer Kinnard prefers to assign a case number and bury the corpse rather than search for the deceased's relatives. Nellie thinks otherwise. Physical evidence leads Nellie to suspect a connection between the dead man and herself. Praying that his identity will be revealed at the Chicago orphanage of her childhood, she boards a train from Portland gripped by fear at what might lie ahead. Facing the Halsted Orphanage, her childhood memories resurface, and her fear escalates. She prays Matron Crandall, "Mad-Cow" as the children called her, will not be waiting on the other side of the door. Nellie's former unwillingness to forgive her childhood taskmaster gives way to a power that takes her by surprise. She realizes this same power of forgiveness must be applied toward the mother she's never known. Nellie's hunt for the dead man's identity now couples with a personal quest; to find her mother. Leads to the dead man's identity discloses that he was a "runner" for the Black Hand extortion gang and had stolen five-thousand dollars from the organization. Convinced Nellie has learned the whereabouts of the stashed money, a professional assassin trails her back to Oregon. Implementing scripture to help her conquer the gnawing fear that she will not find her mother before she is killed, hope and trust are rekindled. In an entirely unexpected development, Nellie finds her relationship with Kinnard blossoming as they work together to expose the hired killer. The quest remains; to find the stolen money, the dead man's identity, her mother, if she's alive, and do it all before the Black Hand assassin takes her life.
Book Synopsis Following Nellie Bly by : Rosemary J. Brown
Download or read book Following Nellie Bly written by Rosemary J. Brown and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable story of one of the great pioneering women adventures of the 19th century. Intrepid journalist Nellie Bly raced through a ‘man’s world’ — alone and literally with just the clothes on her back — to beat the fictional record set by Jules Verne’s Phileas Fogg in Around the World in 80 Days. She won the race on 25 January 1890, covering 21,740 miles by ocean liner and train in 72 days, and became a global celebrity. Although best known for her record-breaking journey, even more importantly Nellie Bly pioneered investigative journalism and paved the way for women in the newsroom. Her undercover reporting, advocacy for women's rights, crusades for vulnerable children, campaigns against oppression and steadfast conviction that 'nothing is impossible' makes the world that she circled a better place. Adventurer, journalist and author, Rosemary J Brown, set off 125 years later to retrace Nellie Bly’s footsteps in an expedition registered with the Royal Geographical Society. Through her recreation of that epic global journey, she brings to life Nellie Bly’s remarkable achievements and shines a light on one of the world's greatest female adventurers and a forgotten heroine of history.
Book Synopsis Acts of Courage by : Connie Brummel Crook

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Acts of Courage, Connie Brummel Crook dramatizes the life of one of Canada's most enduring heroines, Laura Secord. From young Laura Ingersoll's early days in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, amidst the turmoil that followed the American Revolutionary War, the story outlines her father's difficult decision to move his family to Upper Canada. Laura's subsequent meeting and courtship with James Secord is described against the backdrop of homesteading in the Niagara Peninsula and of enduring the imminent threat of American invasion. These first sections of the book provide the background for Laura's courageous rescue of her husband from the battlefield at Queenston Heights, and her even more amazing trek to warn Col. FitzGibbon of the American's secret plans to attack the British outpost at Beaver Dams. Laura's extraordinary life, peopled with characters like Joseph Brant and Col. Fitzgibbon, is given even more poignancy and interest by the author's inventive and surprising characterization of the young FitzGibbon, by her acute eye for historical detail, and through her insights into the character of a young woman whose acts of courage have captured the imagination of generations of young Canadians.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 Phoenix Award in Historical Fiction from the Kops-Fetherling International Book Awards Winner of the 2021 Silver Reader View Reviewer's Choice Award in Historical Fiction The insane asylum on Blackwell’s Island is a human rat trap. It is easy to get in, but once there it is impossible to get out. —Nellie Bly Elizabeth Cochrane has a secret. She isn’t the madwoman with amnesia the doctors and inmates at Blackwell’s Asylum think she is. In truth, she’s working undercover for the New York World. When the managing editor refuses to hire her because she’s a woman, Elizabeth strikes a deal: in exchange for a job, she’ll impersonate a lunatic to expose a local asylum’s abuses. When she arrives at the asylum, Elizabeth realizes she must make a decision—is she there merely to bear witness, or to intervene on behalf of the abused inmates? Can she interfere without blowing her cover? As the superintendent of the asylum grows increasingly suspicious, Elizabeth knows her scheme—and her dream of becoming a journalist in New York—is in jeopardy. A Feigned Madness is a meticulously researched, fictionalized account of the woman who would come to be known as daredevil reporter Nellie Bly. At a time of cutthroat journalism, when newspapers battled for readers at any cost, Bly emerged as one of the first to break through the gender barrier—a woman who would, through her daring exploits, forge a trail for women fighting for their place in the world.
