Synopsis

In "Dorothy at Skyrie," Evelyn Raymond crafts a rich narrative that intertwines the themes of adventure, self-discovery, and the clash of societal norms. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel follows young Dorothy as she confronts the idyllic yet constraining world of Skyrie'Äîa charming yet confining locale that embodies both opportunity and limitation. Raymond'Äôs literary style is characterized by her lyrical prose and keen psychological insight, which effectively captures the inner turmoil of her protagonist as she navigates complex interpersonal relationships and societal expectations. The narrative is deeply entrenched in the context of burgeoning independence for women, reflecting the broader cultural shifts of the time. Evelyn Raymond, an accomplished author known for her poignant exploration of women's experiences, brings her own unique background to this work. Raised in a dynamic environment infused with a strong sense of social justice, she draws upon her experiences to vividly portray the struggles and aspirations of her characters, illuminating the often-limited choices available to them. Her keen understanding of the human psyche and her commitment to championing women's stories serve as a cornerstone in crafting "Dorothy at Skyrie." This captivating novel is highly recommended for readers seeking an emotionally resonant story that artfully critiques societal conventions while celebrating personal freedom. Raymond'Äôs nuanced characterizations and engaging plot make it a significant addition to the canon of early 20th-century literature, inviting readers to reflect on the timeless quest for identity and self-agency.

    God loves kids, and his really good plan is for kids to grow up in loving families with everything they need to be safe, happy, and whole. But the brokenness in the world has caused really big problems in some families. Because God loves these families, he provides people to help them, as well as foster families to welcome the kids who need safe and loving homes. How can we help young kids--kids in foster families, kids in foster care, or kids simply learning--to understand foster care in a gentle and biblical way? 
     
    Beautifully illustrated, God Loves Kids is a trauma-informed, gospel-centered children's picture book designed to help you navigate difficult conversations about foster care with kids. Beginning with God's initial plan for kids and families, the story introduces, with compassion and sensitivity, the challenges that bring about the need for foster care, what it looks like for foster families to show up for kids, and the different feelings everyone involved in foster care may experience. The book ends where it begins, with the promise that God has a good plan for the kids he loves.  
           
    This unique resource helps children understand foster care and how they can trust God and his good plan to redeem every single story.

Then Sam and Alex find themselves swept up in an epic pirate adventure through the historic streets of Boston. With the help of a three-hundred-year-old ghost-pirate, they'll have to piece together the clues of a long-lost treasure map-- and  master a tricky sailor's knot--or risk becoming ghosts themselves! The cousins may not have much in common, but along the way they'll learn that some bonds, like some knots, are truly  unbreakable .
