Amazing, Grace
When Grace was born she was kissed . . . . . . by her Guardian Angel With that kiss, she received an unusual gift: empathy so intense it aches, aggravated by a spot-on recognition of evil. Reaching the age of fourteen, haunted and followed by shadows all her life, Grace instinctively knows that eleven-year-old Noah Dunne has been kidnapped and is facing certain death. The perpetrator, Jason Bowen, masquerades as an upstanding citizen, boy scout leader, and Sunday School teacher. And everyone is utterly duped - except Grace. She tries to get anyone to listen to her - police, parents, priest. When she is cast in her school's production of The Miracle Worker, she connects strongly with the character she portrays: Helen Keller. And soon, Grace discovers that she too has a voice and learns how to use it. But with her newfound strength and power, when Grace decides to follow Bowen to rescue Noah, will she be able to face the insidious evil that awaits her?

Saint Genesius and Me, a Love Story
Roberta Gore served as North Carroll High School's Drama Teacher from September of 1982 until June of 2016. During the course of those thirty-four years she received between seventy-five and a hundred letters every opening night from a writer who signed them, "Saint Genesius." These letters encouraged her, made her laugh and cry, cheered on the endeavors of cast and crew, and mostly, reminded Roberta she was loved. The stories in this book aim to, firstly, record for posterity assorted and lovely memories the halls of North Carroll High School holds, and secondly, thank Saint Genesius. Whether you are an aspiring Drama teacher, a lover of all things theatrical, or an alumnus of NCHS, the stories in the pages will remind you there truly is no business like show business.

The Length of a String
Imani is adopted, and she's ready to search for her birth parents. But when she discovers the diary her Jewish great-grandmother wrote chronicling her escape from Holocaust-era Europe, Imani begins to see family in a new way. Imani knows exactly what she wants as her big bat mitzvah gift: to find her birth parents. She loves her family and her Jewish community in Baltimore, but she has always wondered where she came from, especially since she's black and almost everyone she knows is white. Then her mom's grandmother--Imani's great-grandma Anna--passes away, and Imani discovers an old journal among her books. It's Anna's diary from 1941, the year she was twelve and fled Nazi-occupied Luxembourg alone, sent by her parents to seek refuge in Brooklyn, New York. Anna's diary records her journey to America and her new life with an adoptive family of her own. And as Imani reads the diary, she begins to see her family, and her place in it, in a whole new way.
