The first biography of Asenath Nicholson, Compassionate Stranger recovers the largely forgotten history of an extraordinary woman. Trained as a school teacher, Nicholson was involved in the abolitionist, temperance, and diet reforms of the day before she left New York in 1844 “to personally investigate the condition of the Irish poor.” She walked alone throughout nearly every county in Ireland and reported on conditions in rural Ireland on the eve of the Great Irish Famine. She published Ireland’s Welcome to the Stranger, an account of her travels in 1847. She returned to Ireland in December 1846 to do what she could to relieve famine suffering—first in Dublin and then in the winter of 1847–48 in the west of Ireland where the suffering was greatest. Nicholson’s precise, detailed diaries and correspondence reveal haunting insights into the desperation of victims of the Famine and the negligence and greed of those who added to the suffering. Her account of the Great Irish Famine, Annals of the Famine in Ireland in 1847, 1848 and 1849, is both a record of her work and an indictment of official policies toward the poor: land, employment, famine relief. In addition to telling Nicholson’s story, from her early life in Vermont and upstate New York to her better-known work in Ireland, Murphy puts Nicholson’s own writings and other historical documents in conversation. This not only contextualizes Nicholson’s life and work, but it also supplements the impersonal official records with Nicholson’s more compassionate and impassioned accounts of the Irish poor.
After trapping her nefarious uncle Robert and his allies in the Realm of Sleep, Legend-Princess Amber and her friends return to face a familiar challenge: seeking out the remaining Legends that have gone into hiding. With few kingdoms keeping close tabs on their Legends and more monsters on the rise, will they be able to find them before something else does first? Meanwhile, Devas Ashton is entering his first year of high school with shadows watching his every move... literally. As he tries to navigate the social pressures of the elite school, he finds sympathy in an unlikely place—a fellow freshman with a mysterious past. Destinies intertwine and prophecy unfolds as the Legends rendezvous with their next recruit: the Princess of the Unicorns.
The women of Torah grew up at a time when gender roles were rigidly defined and girls were considered women at an early age. Still, the Torah hints that young biblical women faced challenges similar to those that teenagers encounter today: first loves, burgeoning identities, developing sexualities, and blossoming spirituality. Building on textual sources, Deborah Bodin Cohen has created a collection of midrashim about the teen years of 10 women in Genesis that will resonate with 21st-century readers. Lilith's Ark melds text, biblical commentaries, and historic details about the ancient world with the experiences of modern girls and women and the author's own imagination. A discussion guide for each story enriches the reading experience. This is a book that will speak across time to the anxieties and aspirations of today's growing girls.
Told from the perspective of Mark the Watcher, this chronicle offers exciting new discoveries about patriachs and prophets from Adam to David, as well as lots of interesting new characters. Young people will understand as never before the terrible tragedy of sin and the wonderful love of the God who allowed it to continue.
Genesis: The Novel highlights God’s history and interaction with human beings. Targeted to curious agnostics and believers alike of all age levels, the prime age group is young adults. The Biblical book of Genesis is related in the form of a fiction novel. Stories feature the human doubts, fears, and weaknesses of biblical characters making them more relatable. This is the path to the reader identifying with their humanity and hopefully being inspired. The Biblical narratives are primarily from a male perspective but for a more balanced account, female experiences are also emphasized. The story of Jacob’s daughter Dinah is an example of bringing forth a female perspective from the era. The book introduces God in a fresh way to inspire people to dig deeper into their faith and seek out the Lord.
