John Sinclair, a former special-forces fighter, his wife Susan, a teacher, and their grown children, feel suspended for long moments as the car comes to rest without a crash. With altered perceptions, they time travel to Virginia in 1775. John befriends a colorful Scottish veteran of 18th century campaigns. Susan finds a Quaker woman with a tragic past and learns secrets of leading families. Their college senior son Peter is enthralled by a slave named Evie and his quest to help free her before the Underground Railroad, leads him to a spiritual and magical free African woman named Annie. His sister Megan helps Mark, an indentured blacksmith and his friend, Standing Elk, a Native American holy man.The family is conflicted by many surprising things they learn about our history: - No taxation without representation did not trigger war. The Stamp Tax & Townshend Duties were repealed many years before revolution broke out.- The Quebec Act created an appointed rather than elected government there and extended Quebec's boundaries to include the land west of the 1763 Proclamation Line along the Appalachian Mountains. Prominent people in the Colonies were secret investors in land development companies working illegally west of the line.

When an appointed council was installed similar to the system in Quebec, leaders throughout the colonies cried Tyranny.- The British freed as many slaves during the Revolution as during the many years of the Underground Railroad, but few of them made it to a life in freedom.- The young George Washington worked with and was mentored by a distant cousin who was heir and namesake of Thomas, Baron Cameron, the 3rd Earl of Fairfax who overthrew the King a century before.

New and sensitive . raw, in-the-moment mothering feelings.-Sarah Cannon, author of The Shame of LosingIn Birth of a Daughter, Samantha Kolber deftly reveals the private world of pregnancy and birth-the middle of the night and light of day worries about safety, connection, and intimacy, weighing what shifts, writing, I am marked. I am one becoming two, becoming one / again.my body deceives me. Indeed, these poems are brave in their accounting of the pregnant, birthing body, the realities of mothering, and the territory we enter-oh, these worlds we are now / you and I. Dailiness and milestones merge here, bringing us on a journey that is part emotional travelogue, part wonder, part weighing of generations and of our times, and part arrival at the precise awareness that, I am witness. I am mother. Kolber's voice is an important one, honoring what is often kept hidden.- Kerrin McCadden, author of Keep This to YourselfIn her startling, beautiful new collection, Birth of a Daughter, Samantha Kolber pulls us into the time-out-of-time experience of pregnancy and motherhood.

Like salt-water pearls, these raw, gorgeous poems glow, capturing the wild internal variations felt just holding a new child or toddler in your arms, exhausted and exhilarated. I am me plus and minus the cells expunged to create you, daughter, Kolber writes, ever-attuned to the possibility of artistic sublimation to the hunger of her infant daughter. This collection affirms Kolber's territorial claim to the mother-as-artist: sucking what light I make / into the core of you / oh, these worlds we are now.- Megan Buchanan, author of Clothesline Religion. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. On Mount Desert Island, Maine, winter can mean six months of isolation and tough times, as year-round residents hunker down through the cold season. Larry Stettner and Bill Morrison vowed to change that. In November 2009, the Common Good Soup Kitchen opened its doors to the public, offering free soup as well as live music and a place for locals to gather, interact, and help each other. In its first winter of operation, the Common Good served over 10,000 bowls of soup to the community. Run entirely by donations, grants, and volunteer labor, the cafe also runs a distribution program to deliver soup to senior residences and others who cannot make it out to the cafe. In Cooking for the Common Good, Stettner and Morrison argue that we need to radically rethink the concept of the soup kitchen, emphasizing true community building along with incorporating healthy and locally sourced food. The book includes a lively third-person narrative telling the story of how the Common Good Soup Kitchen was created; the authors' unique cooking philosophy; some of their most popular soup and salad recipes; and a full appendix with resources and a sample grant application for others interested in starting their own soup kitchen. "Today access to whole foods, local organic foods, and sustainable fisheries is more important than ever for our well-being. But, because of economic inequities, good whole food is once again hard to get. Organic foods are largely available to the wealthiest and most privileged among us. Let us break down the bastions and make natural, whole food-including organically based soups-for everyone." -from chapter 2, "The Soup Manifesto".…

The very nature of these events encourages the caregiver to walk alongside the patient, to assist rather than control.In Bookends, Dr. Susan Boron explores the powerfully human aspects of caring for people at both ends of their lives. She shows how expertise in one area of care easily transfers to the other, increasing confidence and improving care and satisfaction for practitioner and patient alike.…
