Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two women, three hundred years apart, must face the devastation of all they hold dear... Suspecting her husband is having an affair, Sarah Rodrigues fights to appear unbroken while attempting to salvage her family. Though distracted by her own troubles, Sarah is summoned to an elderly friend’s deathbed for an unusual request—find a long-lost daughter and relay a centuries-old family story. Determined not to fail her friend, Sarah pieces together the story of her neighbor’s ancestor, Elizabeth Baker, a young colonist forced into an unwanted betrothal but drawn to a man forbidden by society. While Sarah’s family teeters on the edge of collapse, her world is further shaken by the interest of a caring doctor and a terrible accident that threatens a life more precious than her own. Inspired by the unconditional love she uncovers in Elizabeth’s story, Sarah strives to forgive those who’ve wounded her soul. But when light shines on the dark secrets of her neighbor’s past and the full extent of her husband’s sins, will looking to a power greater than herself rekindle lost hope?
Book Synopsis Rosalie Edge, Hawk of Mercy by : Dyana Z. Furmansky
Download or read book Rosalie Edge, Hawk of Mercy written by Dyana Z. Furmansky and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosalie Edge (1877-1962) was the first American woman to achieve national renown as a conservationist. Dyana Z. Furmansky draws on Edge’s personal papers and on interviews with family members and associates to portray an implacable, indomitable personality whose activism earned her the names “Joan of Arc” and “hellcat.” A progressive New York socialite and veteran suffragist, Edge did not join the conservation movement until her early fifties. Nonetheless, her legacy of achievements--called "widespread and monumental" by the New Yorker--forms a crucial link between the eras defined by John Muir and Rachel Carson. An early voice against the indiscriminate use of toxins and pesticides, Edge reported evidence about the dangers of DDT fourteen years before Carson's Silent Spring was published. Today, Edge is most widely remembered for establishing Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, the world's first refuge for birds of prey. Founded in 1934 and located in eastern Pennsylvania, Hawk Mountain was cited in Silent Spring as an "especially significant" source of data. In 1930, Edge formed the militant Emergency Conservation Committee, which not only railed against the complacency of the Bureau of Biological Survey, Audubon Society, U.S. Forest Service, and other stewardship organizations but also exposed the complicity of some in the squandering of our natural heritage. Edge played key roles in the establishment of Olympic and Kings Canyon National Parks and the expansion of Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. Filled with new insights into a tumultuous period in American conservation, this is the life story of an unforgettable individual whose work influenced the first generation of environmentalists, including the founders of the Wilderness Society, Nature Conservancy, and Environmental Defense Fund.

Download or read book The Speed of Mercy written by Christy Ann Conlin and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dark family secrets, the lore of the sea, and a tender, protective friendship between women all converge in The Speed of Mercy, an unusual and surprising story set in idyllic rural Nova Scotia. With subtle humour, Conlin picks the locks on the long-closed doors of two families and bares the ugly, painful skeletons everyone knew were there but chose to hide.” — Sylvia D. Hamilton, author of And I Alone Escaped To Tell You The Speed of Mercy captures the unbearable cost of childhood betrayal and what happens when history is suppressed, our past is forgotten — yet finding the truth can change the future. Christy Ann Conlin rips into the myths and stereotypes about older women and those on the edge of conventional society to reveal the timeless gift of mercy in this feminist tour de force. “Christy Ann Conlin is a conjurer: of place, people, and the haunting past. I was instantly caught up in the darkly mysterious world and indelible characters she has brought to life. Gripping, suspenseful, and lyrically written, The Speed of Mercy caught me by the throat and didn’t let go.” — Alix Ohlin, Scotiabank Giller Prize–shortlisted author of Dual Citizens

When the boys con their way into The Boston Farm School—located on an island one mile out in Boston Harbor—they think they’ve cheated fate.

But just as Pine begins to put together clues pointing to a terrifying plot, she's abruptly called off the case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memoirs of Loebl, a Jew born to the Bamberger family in Hanover, Germany, in 1925. She fled with her parents and sister to Brussels in 1938. Her father was arrested as an alien and sent to France, where he was interned; he obtained a visa and reached the USA. Describes the relatively slow nazification in Belgium, due in part to General von Falkenhausen, the military commander who was arrested and sent to Dachau in 1944 for being soft on the Jews. In addition, after initially complying with the Nazi order to register their Jews, Belgian authorities resisted this role. Avoiding registration, Loebl, her mother, and sister survived the war with false identification papers and the help of a number of non-Jews who sheltered them separately. Loebl worked for her keep, with one employer being so nasty that her real name is not mentioned. Notes that the resistance was strong in Brussels, but not in the antisemitic Flemish part of the country. Cites from her emotion-filled diary, including letters never sent to her secret beloved, who died a resistance martyr. Loebl regrets never having joined the resistance. After the war, the three females in the family rejoined the paterfamilias in New York.
