Summary

In "Jessica Trent: Her Life on a Ranch," Evelyn Raymond crafts a rich tapestry of life on the American frontier, exploring themes of resilience, independence, and the evolving role of women in early 20th-century society. The narrative flows with a blend of vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, immersing readers in the daily struggles and triumphs faced by Jessica Trent, a determined young woman who navigates the challenges of ranch life. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the West, Raymond's prose stands out for its sharp characterizations and its realistic portrayal of rural existence, echoing the tradition of American regionalism while also addressing broader societal shifts occurring during the era. Evelyn Raymond, a keen observer of her surroundings and an accomplished author, draws upon her own experiences growing up in a farming community to breathe authenticity into Jessica's journey. Her background in journalism and dedication to depicting genuine female experiences in literature informs the strong, nuanced portrayal of Jessica as she defies conventions and carves out her own identity. Raymond's deep understanding of both human resilience and the complexities of rural life culminates in this compelling narrative. I highly recommend "Jessica Trent: Her Life on a Ranch" to readers interested in historical fiction that celebrates the strength and independence of women. Through Jessica'Äôs story, Raymond invites us to reflect on the past while inspiring modern readers to embrace their own journeys with courage and tenacity. This book is not only a testament to the spirit of the American West but also a celebration of the timeless pursuit of self-discovery.

    A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
