Minding Her Own Business
A history that populates the streets of colonial Sydney with entrepreneurial businesswomen earning their living in a variety of small – and sometimes surprising – enterprises. There are few memorials to colonial businesswomen, but if you know where to look you can find many traces of their presence as you wander the streets of Sydney. From milliners and dressmakers to ironmongers and booksellers; from publicans and boarding-house keepers to butchers and taxidermists; from school teachers to ginger-beer manufacturers: these women have been hidden in the historical record but were visible to their contemporaries. Catherine Bishop brings the stories of these entrepreneurial women to life, with fascinating details of their successes and failures, their determination and wilfulness, their achievements, their tragedies and the occasional juicy scandal. Until now we have imagined colonial women indoors as wives, and mothers, domestic servants or prostitutes. This book sets them firmly out in the open.

The Family of Abner Ponder
Abner Jefferson Ponder (ca. 1755-1813), a Revolutionary War soldier, was born in America or Germany, possibly the son and Daniel and Jemima Bennett Ponder. After the war, he went to Virginia, where his oldest son was born in 1785. Soon after that time, the family was living in Abbeyville County, South Carolina. They were in Elbert County, Georgia, from 1787 to 1806; then migrated to Hickman County, Tennessee. Abner Ponder probably married three times and was probably the father of eleven children, born 1785-1813. Abner J. Hickman died at Bon Aqua, Hikman County, Tennessee. Descendants listed lived in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas and elsewhere.
Love Valley
Love Valley is a small town in rural North Carolina. Its genesis in 1954 marked the fulfillment of a dream for founder Andy Barker. Barker cultivated two visions as a young man--he wanted to build a Christian community, and he wanted to be a cowboy. The result of his vision is Barker's utopian experiment. The town boasts a saloon, general store, hitching posts, and rodeos. Yet, above all of this stands a little church--the heart of what Barker conceived as his Christian utopia. This unique combination has led to more than forty years of philanthropic ventures, controversial events such as the Love Valley Rock Festival, stories and legends, and political ambition. Love Valley: An American Utopia captures the history of this town in narrative form while arguing that Love Valley's founders were motivated by utopian goals.
Skeletons Out the Closet
Skeletons Out of Closet is about a middle-class family that dates as far back as the late '50s. Knowing that there was no help from the outside world because things were handled differently in those days, you have the Ponder family. The children lost their mother to situations unknown and only had the love of their beloved grandmother to help them to cope. The grandfather was a wealthy and well-respected member of the town, so things were hidden until the youngest granddaughter became pregnant at the age of ten. There are many plot twists that make this a page-by-page turner. You have murder cover-ups, incest, good times, and sad. Will the family survive once the grandmother becomes ill and past? Will all the children deal with the raft of their grandfather's revenge once he finds out what is really happening in his home? The Ponder family has a never-ending nightmare that rains against this family for many generations to come.
