Christine
A feminist novel that has been called "the Jane Eyre of women's rights fiction," and yet was not reprinted until recently. It explicitly parallels the bondage of women and of slaves, as well as the movements of feminism and abolitionism, with a rare frankness for popular fiction its day. The author wound up acquiring Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton's trailblazing feminist periodical Revolution. When Laura Curtis Bullard wrote the novel Christine in 1856, she created one of antebellum America's most radical heroines: a woman's rights leader. Addressing the major social, political, and cultural issues surrounding women from within an unusually overt feminist framework for its time, Christine openly challenges a social and legal system that denies women full and equal rights.

A Darker Shade
What is haunting young Liza Prescott? Molly Allworth has been in service since leaving college when her mother died. Still, her situation is getting desperate and when the agency offers her a position that sounds too good to be true, she cannot resist. Soon, she finds herself in a remote house in Maine, caring for a little girl who swore she saw her mother's ghost...before she stopped speaking entirely. Nathaniel Prescott, the child's father, thinks any belief in the supernatural is absurdly credulous. Molly's history and heritage, however, have given her a wider view. There's a significant bonus for Molly if she lasts the year. But as winter closes in and mysterious, often creepy events begin to occur, even her growing affection for Nathaniel and Liza may not be enough to make her stay.

Is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way—because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.

Shadow Men
From Edgar Award finalist James Polchin comes a thrilling examination of the murder that captivated Jazz Age America, with echoes of the decadence and violence of The Great Gatsby On the morning of May 16, 1922, a young man’s body was found on a desolate road in Westchester County.

American Health Quackery
James Harvey Young, the foremost expert on the history of medical frauds, finds quackery in the 1990s to be more extensive and insidious than in earlier and allegedly more naive eras. The modern quack isn't an outrageous-looking hawker of magic remedies operating from the back of a carnival wagon, but he knows how to use antiregulatory sentiment and ingenious promotional approaches to succeed in a "trade" that is both bizarre and deceitful. In The Toadstool Millionaires and The Medical Messiahs, Young traced the history of health quackery in America from its colonial roots to the late 1960s. This collection of essays discusses more recent health scams and reconsiders earlier ones. Liberally ...
