Wild Beauty
"Audrey Carlan has a way with words that cannot be denied." –Kylie Scott, New York Times bestselling author My life has never been easy. Not from the day I took my first breath until now. Only days old, I was placed in a laundry basket and left in front of a firehouse. I never knew who my parents were before being shuffled around from one bad foster home to another. Until the day I arrived at Kerrighan House. My safe haven. My home. I was welcomed with open arms into a world where love and sisterhood were the rule, not the exception. From that moment on, I believed I was safe. That nothing bad could touch me. I was so wrong. Neither my success as a full-figured lingerie and fashion model n...

“Audrey Carlan tem um dom com as palavras que não pode ser negado.” --Kylie Scott, autora bestseller do New York Times Minha vida nunca foi fácil. Do dia em que respirei pela primeira vez até agora. Com alguns dias de vida, me colocaram em um cesto de roupa suja e me deixaram na frente de um quartel. Eu nunca soube quem eram meus pais e fui colocada em muitos lares adotivos ruins. Até que cheguei à Kerrighan House. Meu porto seguro. Minha casa. Me receberam de braços abertos em um mundo onde o amor e a irmandade eram a regra, não a exceção. A partir daquele momento, acreditei que estava segura. Que nada de ruim poderia me acontecer. Eu estava muito enganada. Nem meu sucesso como...
Providence and the Invention of American History
How providential history--the conviction that God is an active agent in human history--has shaped the American historical imagination In 1847, Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman was killed after a disastrous eleven-year effort to evangelize the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. By 1897, Whitman was a national hero, celebrated in textbooks, monuments, and historical scholarship as the "Savior of Oregon." But his fame was based on a tall tale--one that was about to be exposed. Sarah Koenig traces the rise and fall of Protestant missionary Marcus Whitman's legend, revealing two patterns in the development of American history. On the one hand is providential history, marked by the conviction that God is an active agent in human history and that historical work can reveal patterns of divine will. On the other hand is objective history, which arose from the efforts of Catholics and other racial and religious outsiders to resist providentialists' pejorative descriptions of non-Protestants and nonwhites. Koenig examines how these competing visions continue to shape understandings of the American past and the nature of historical truth.
