Sinopse

Martha Finley: Collected Works encompasses the prolific contributions of one of the 19th century's most influential authors in children's literature. Renowned for her iconic "Elsie Dinsmore" series, these collected works reflect Finley'Äôs intricate storytelling that merges moral didacticism with the burgeoning ideals of womanhood and personal virtue prevalent in her time. Rich in sentimental prose and vivid characterizations, her writing is emblematic of the Victorian literary context, offering readers an immersive glimpse into the ethical frameworks that shaped the lives of young women in the post-Civil War era. Martha Finley, born in 1828 and a product of a deeply religious upbringing, channeled her personal experiences and Christian values into her work. Her strong convictions about morality and education were fueled by a desire to positively influence young readers during a time when societal expectations for women were evolving. Finley's dedication to storytelling was not merely a professional endeavor but a vocational mission to inspire and uplift the next generation, making her a forerunner in children's literature. For readers seeking a profound exploration of 19th-century values and the trials of youth, Martha Finley: Collected Works is an essential addition to any literary collection. It offers both historical insight and timeless themes of resilience and morality, making it a thought-provoking read for scholars and casual readers alike.

    The Wall Street Journal columnist and bestselling author of Little Victories takes a humorous and insightful look at life in the face of overwhelming societal change that we never anticipated—from the effects on parenthood, marriage, friendship, work, and play to all other aspects of the strange lives we find ourselves living. Like many of us, Jason Gay didn’t see this coming: a reshaped world, on edge, often stuck at home, questioning everything, trying to navigate a digital landscape that changes how we think, parent, coach, and live. With a series of topical and interconnected personal pieces, Gay comically takes on this new state of being, looking for the optimism and joy in the face of discouragement. He embarks on a rowdy ride with his son to the Daytona 500, weeks before lockdown. He confides his hilariously banal texts with his wife. He allows his mom to kidnap the family cat. From the modest thrills of Little League parenting to reckoning with the impending death of a close friend, Gay's essays run the gamut of modern life and he approaches it all with humility, grace, and more than a few laughs.

    Our present era demands a new style of leadership that transcends political affiliation and party lines. In an age that values relationship over authority and instant information over accuracy, breadth of knowledge and depth of conviction are prized commodities. Governor Sarah Palin (R—Alaska) brings both of those qualities to her new role as candidate for the vice presidency of the United States.  Her familiarity with a broad range of issues and her strong moral center are just two of the leadership traits that have allowed Palin to organize and focus her efforts in elected office.  Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian faith, author Joe Hilley’s biographical leadership study of Sarah Palin explores the leadership principles that have catapulted her into the national spotlight and explains how she models a fresh paradigm of leadership that will guide our nation through the 21st century.
