It is Margaret McFarlane Davidson's story.
Faded Glory
"For eight years Meagan Flannigan and her son lived in a deteriorating summer mansion on the MacLeod Family's 125-acre estate in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. As the mother of their son's illegitimate child, she had free rent and a small salary as the estate manager. The MacLeods hadn't visited the place in six years, largely, Meagan thought, because they didn't want to come face to face with 'the slutty little Yooper,' as Mrs. MacLeod called her, and her child. Now, with hints of interest in their grandson, the MacLeods were coming to visit. Why, Meagan wondered. Were they going to tell her the family fortune was gone and so was her salary? Were they going to sell the estate and she'd have to move? Had their only son, Rob, finally produced a legitimate heir? Or had alcoholism finally killed him? She could only speculate on how their news was going to impact her and her child"--Page 4 of cover.

The Legend of Billy English
Amy Bartlett hated the Old Olmstead Place. The unpromising homestead seemed another step in the downward spiral of her life. Raised by her maternal Irish immigrant relatives in St. Louis after her mother died in childbirth, Amy barely knew her father and three older brothers who lived on a homestead in western Iowa. When, after she graduated from high school, her father sent for her, she thought it her filial duty. Feeling out of place on the frontier and detesting her stepmother, Amy marries Jim Bartlett as a means of escape. That escape turns into a nightmare as Jim grows increasingly abusive as they almost starve while homesteading in the Dakotas. When Jim acquires a deed to the Old Olmstead Place in southeastern Oregon's high desert where farmers struggled with the climate and cattle barons, Amy knows her life isn't going to be any better. Amy stuggles with her conservative Catholic sense of duty and her desire to flee. She hates Southeastern Oregon as much as she hated the Dakotas, Iowa, and her husband. Then a cowboy rides into the Old Olmstead Place to help her chop firewood. Suddenly, Amy's struggle with her conscience becomes even more difficult.
Who Killed Larry Summerfield

High Impact School Library Spaces
This book is about exploring alternative ways to think about school library space planning. We have entered a period of change fueled by technology and new pedagogy. Change is both exciting and confusing, so finding a way to work through the confusion was my goal while leaving you with the excitement of ushering in a new era of school library programs. Designing new school libraries requires some risks on your part because whenever the old version is not working it takes a brave person to be the first to step up and say, "Let's try something different". - From introduction

Included is a handwritten memoir (together with typed transcript) of Sullivan's life in Montgomery County, Virginia. Sullivan's reminiscences focus primarily on the years from her birth in 1926 through World War II and contain discussions of mountain dialect, rural education, children's activities, and home life during the Great Depression. Also included in the collection are two photographs of students at Sunnyside School in Montgomery County. The earlier photo, dated 1910, is a photocopy of a 1970s newspaper clipping and is accompanied by the names of those pictured; the pupils in the second photo, dated 1932, are unidentified. Sullivan's other interests are reflected in two handwritten pages of genealogical notes on the Price, Surface, and related families of Montgomery County, and a John F. Kennedy Vari-Vue presidential campaign button.
