The Roman era in Britain produced a time of population movement within its borders. One such group traveled from North West of the island to the relative peaceful area around the City of Litchfield in the heart of England. Their deep rooted beliefs were suppressed with the arrival of Christianity and its absolute doctrines. Although forced to conform some inhabitants still remembered and practiced certain ways regarding the old days. Their focus centered on an old tree rumored to have magical powers regarding their lives and predicting future events. This great tree was referred to as the "Druid Tree" and it became a customary visiting place for travelers and locals. As each generation passed beneath its limbs so the stories became legends for the 'ancients' to pass down to other generations. Each era within English history has at least one story connecting local inhabitants with the great tree and its 'stones'. Oh Yes! And then there were the 'stones'.

Yet, when a dinner served at their table is poisoned, she is charged with the crime and the detectives must find evidence to acquit her of the charges.

Henry Cochran, Earl of Kilsyth, was never meant to be an earl. Nevertheless, the title was his, along with the ennui. He has nothing to excite or challenge him. At least that is the case until he unintentionally wins an Irish lass in a game of chance and undertakes an interesting new project—turning the lass into a lady. Eve Doyle had once known privilege and thought her future set. That was, until her brother’s monumental mistake forced them to flee Ireland and take up residence in Covent Garden. Just when she thought she’d be able to control her life, her brother wagered her at the gaming tables—and lost. Now she must endure the next two years as ward to Lord Kilsyth—a gentleman who wishes to change her as so many have in the past. However, the bigger challenge for both will be to keep from losing their hearts. The Wiggons’ School for Elegant Young Ladies meets My Fair Lady with a twist.
The education provided by Canada’s faith-based schools is a subject of public, political, and scholarly controversy. As the population becomes more religiously diverse, the continued establishment and support of faith-based schools has reignited debates about whether they should be funded publicly and to what extent they threaten social cohesion. These discussions tend to occur without considering a fundamental question: How do faith-based schools envision and enact their educational missions? Discipline, Devotion, and Dissent offers responses to that question by examining a selection of Canada’s Jewish, Catholic, and Islamic schools. The daily reality of these schools is illuminated thr...
