Like a River
What if you had to face the possibility that everything you had once been told and believed was absolute truth, might not be so simple, so immutable? What if you had to confront the possibility that truth was less like a rock and more like a river, changing, altering course, welcoming tributaries from varied sources. Rachel and Kathy have plenty in common. Both are the eldest daughters of pastors, both are intelligent and thoughtful; and both love their families and God. However, their dads' different approaches to truth and the meaning of “the gospel” lead the girls in separate directions as they deal with growing up and faith and their places in the world. This is not a typical story of preachers' kids rebelling; it is a story about friendship. It is a look at how varying interpretations of truth inspire divergent responses from two trusting, searching girls. Life, friendship, truth: all are like a river.
Breathless for You
Set in the 1920s, this passionate, provocative tale is perfect for fans of Downton Abbey and E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey. November 1921. Since arriving in London, Madeline, the young French ward of Ash, the new Duke of Belfield, has become the subject of lurid speculation, and when she's offered the chance to travel to Belfield Hall, Ash's country seat in Oxfordshire, Madeline is eager to seek refuge there. But Oxfordshire is not as quiet a retreat as she assumed, for soon she clashes with a handsome gamekeeper - Nathan Mallory - whose seduction techniques are astounding and addictive. Meanwhile, Madeline's secret nightmares of her own dark past in Paris continue to haunt her. At the same time Madeline realises that her guardian the Duke (whom she holds in the highest regard) has an impossible love too - for his Sophie, the former servant girl. It's in Madeline's power to reunite the two, but quite possibly at the cost of her own happiness - and her choices are made even more difficult by the secret machinations of powerful people who would do anything to keep Sophie and Ash apart . . .
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony
Weaving events, quotations, personalities, and commentary into a page-turning narrative, Penny Colman's Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony vividly portrays a friendship that changed history. In the Spring of 1851 two women met on a street corner in Seneca Falls, New York—Elizabeth Cady Stanton, a thirty-five year old mother of four boys, and Susan B. Anthony, a thirty-one year old, unmarried, former school teacher. Immediately drawn to each other, they formed an everlasting and legendary friendship. Together they challenged entrenched beliefs, customs, and laws that oppressed women and spearheaded the fight to gain legal rights, including the right to vote despite fierce opposition, daunting conditions, scandalous entanglements and betrayal by their friends and allies.
