Woman of Mercy
Woman of Mercy, Story of Dorothy Dix, Compassionate Reformer (previously titled Stranger and Traveler) is the well-researched story of an incredible 19th century woman. Traveling thousands of miles throughout the United States and eventually in Europe, Dorothea Dix documented the often unspeakable treatment of prisoners and those deemed insane. Dix initiated laws and policies for the improvement in treatment of the incarcerated. By the time of her death, the number of mental institutions in the U.S. had grown nearly tenfold (often designed to her specifications) and sweeping legislation for more humanitarian treatment had been implemented in most states -proof that one individual can effect ...

Lincoln's Mothers
An excellently researched historical novel about Abraham Lincoln's family and formative years with particular emphasis on his mother, Nancy, and stepmother, Sally. "All that I am," said Lincoln, "I owe to my angel mother." "Which mother?" he was once asked. "Both," he replied. This is a story crafted in such a life-like manner that it allows the reader to be intricately drawn into Lincoln's family situations, to see and hear everything that occurred in the little cabins that the Lincolns called home. Nancy Hanks fell in love with Tom Lincoln at an early age and, after their marriage, followed him uncomplainingly from one farm to another and from state to state. After Abraham (Abe) was born, Nancy encouraged his interest in book learning recognizing early on that Abe was destined to be more than just a farmer. But the many moves and primitive life of the frontier took its toll and Nancy died when Abe was just nine-years-old. A year later after Sally's death, Tom Lincoln married Sally Bush. Though Sally was unable to read or write, with great pride and determination, she helped her stepson live up to his true potential: the presidency of the United States.
Moses, the Prince of Egypt
A brilliant work of biblical fiction by Dorothy Clarke Wilson, Moses, The Prince of Egypt was immediately embraced by the public when first published in 1949 (as Prince of Egypt). The novel became an inspiration for the 1956 film, The Ten Commandments -- now a classic in its own right. It is a wonderfully entertaining and well-researched story of Moses from his teenage years through early manhood when he rejects his royal lifestyle upon learning of his Hebrew birth and becomes a shepherd among his own people. After centuries of slavery and bondage, with God's help, Moses eventually leads the Jewish people to freedom. Moses, the Prince of Egypt became a favorite of reader's, selling more than 500,000 copies worldwide and has truly achieved the status of a modern classic.
Palace of Healing

Jezebel, Wicked Woman of the Bible
From the pages of Biblical history comes a story of power, pride, evil, and good told with great vividness and suspense by Dorothy Clarke Wilson. Few women have equaled Jezebel's combination of beauty and wickedness, and few have been as successful in seducing the men in their lives. As a young princess, Jezebel, rides with her wedding train through the parched hills of Israel, and realizes there is more to be gained from her impending marriage than political and economic advantages. Steeped in the mood and spirit of an ancient culture, Jezebel uses flattery and deceit to lure her husband, King Ahab, and the people of Israel away from the worship of Yahweh, a just and fair god, towards allegiance to Melkart, a god of war and human sacrifice. With cunning, she cultivates the ambitions of her husband and breeds intrigue within the palace. She plots her own son's death, murders her enemies, betrays her husband and his people many times over. But Jezebel finds it a more difficult task to influence the prophets of Israel and, thus, sets off a classic struggle between the forces of good and evil.
