Birthing the West
Childbirth defines families, communities, and nations. In Birthing the West, Jennifer J. Hill fills the silences around historical reproduction with copious new evidence and an enticing narrative, describing a process of settlement in the American West that depended on the nurturing connections of reproductive caregivers and the authority of mothers over birth. Economic and cultural development depended on childbirth. Hill’s expanded vision suggests that the mantra of cattle drives and military campaigns leaves out essential events and falls far short of an accurate representation of American expansion.

The Guard and the Princess
Although she spoke quietly, she made a loud noise as if to convince both herself and me. "I think love will come in due course." My heart was thumping loudly and rapidly. I tried to slow it down so that the Princess wouldn't hear by taking a few deep breaths. "But what if it doesn't?" My inquiry appeared to float in midair. She remained fixed on me with her brilliant eyes for a while without responding. As the guards changed, there were some footsteps in the hallway.

The Five Wounds of Saint Francis
Many saints have borne the stigmata - wounds resembling those of Christ's crucifixion. While some of those saints have written about their experience, little is known of the personal experience of the first of all saints to brandish this extraordinary sign, Francis of Assisi. They were and have remained his carefully guarded secret. In The Five Wounds of Saint Francis, author Fr. Solanus Benfatti, CFR, explores the significance of this miraculous event in the Saint's life through careful analysis of pertinent medieval literature and recent scholarly studies. He establishes the historicity of the event, which has been called into question, and draws surprising and inspiring conclusions, leaving the reader with a afresh understanding of Saint Francis's spiritual experience.
