Sinopse

In "When Sarah Saved the Day," Elsie Singmaster crafts a heartfelt narrative that explores themes of courage, resilience, and community in the face of adversity. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story centers on a young girl's unwavering spirit as she navigates the challenges posed by familial obligations and societal expectations. Singmaster's prose adopts a lyrical yet accessible style, interspersed with vivid imagery that brings to life the struggles and triumphs of rural life, firmly situating the work within the traditions of American realism and young adult literature of its time. Elsie Singmaster, a prolific author of fiction and children's literature, drew much inspiration from her own experiences and the landscapes of her Pennsylvania upbringing. With a firm belief in the power of storytelling as a tool for moral instruction, Singmaster imbues her characters with a depth that reflects her commitment to exploring the tumultuous circumstances facing women and children. Her work resonates with themes of self-discovery and empowerment, perhaps influenced by the shifting gender roles of her era. Recommended for readers of all ages, "When Sarah Saved the Day" not only offers an engaging tale of youthful bravery but also serves as a poignant reminder of the strength found in community and individual conviction. This timeless story will inspire readers to reflect on their own challenges and the quiet heroism that often goes unnoticed in everyday life.

    After the first two episodes of the series ”The Printer”, here we are at the end, the last episode of the saga dedicated to the Renaissance Jesi. We left Andrea almost at the point of death, helped by his beloved, hidden in disguise. The plot has moved to Urbino, but certainly our two heroes, Andrea Franciolini and Lucia Baldeschi, will have to return to Jesi to fulfill their dream of love. The wedding will have to be a festive and opulent event, and will have to be celebrated by the Bishop of the City of Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. But are we sure that obscure plots, of destiny and of men, will not be able to hinder for the umpteenth time the union between Andrea and Lucia? The two lovers have found each other again, and for nothing in the world would they want to leave each other again. Andrea finally wants to be a father to his little girl, Laura and, why not, to Lucia`s adopted daughter, Anna. The girls are fantastic, they are growing up healthy and lively in the country residence of the Counts Baldeschi, and Andrea is enjoying their closeness. But winds of war will once again lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. And soon to leave the peace and quiet regained. The Lansquenets press the gates of northern Italy and the Duke of Oak, in a strange alliance with Giovanni De` Medici, better known as Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, will do his best to prevent German soldiers from reaching Florence and even Rome. Avoiding the sacking of the Eternal City in 1527 will not be an easy task, neither for the Duke Della Rovere, nor for Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, nor for Captain Franciolino de` Franciolini. Let us once again follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds of the young couple of researchers of our time.

    Darfield Buchanan, Duke of Iversleigh has long ago given up caring about the gossips calling him the Duke of Ice. All he cares about is raising his illegitimate son in a loving home. How he is seen by the rest of the world is of little consequence to him. 
    When he is forced to take notice of his new neighbour, he expects her to be an ancient widow. The beautiful woman he is confronted by sweeps away all his preconceived notions of how those outside of elite society live.
