The Merchant's Daughter

Melanie Dickerson

Beschreibung

An unthinkable danger. An unexpected choice. Annabel, once the daughter of a wealthy merchant, is trapped in indentured servitude to Lord Ranulf, a recluse who is rumored to be both terrifying and beastly. Her circumstances are made even worse by the proximity of Lord Ranulf’s bailiff—a revolting man who has made unwelcome advances on Annabel in the past. Believing that life in a nunnery is the best way to escape the escalation of the bailiff’s vile behavior and to preserve the faith that sustains her, Annabel is surprised to discover a sense of security and joy in her encounters with Lord Ranulf. As Annabel struggles to confront her feelings, she is involved in a situation that could place Ranulf in grave danger. Ranulf’s future, and possibly his heart, may rest in her hands, and Annabel must decide whether to follow the plans she has cherished or the calling God has placed on her heart.

Secret of the Yellow Death

Suzanne Tripp Jurmain

In the summer of 1899, U.S. forces in Cuba discover the island is rampant with Yellow Fever. So the U.S. government sends a group of four elite Army doctors headed by Dr. Walter Reed to determine what is causing the outbreak. Working against the clock as more lives are claimed, the doctors investigate the theory that mosquitoes might be  spreading the disease. During their experiments, two of the doctors contract Yellow Fever, and one actually dies. As the pressure intensifies, Reed obtains additional funding to conduct targeted experiments—and proves a theory with little previous support in the scientific community.  In The Secret of the Yellow Death, author Suzanne Jurmain presents a technical subject as a compelling real-life detective story sure to capture young readers’ imaginations. Narrator Brian Hutchison’s performance masterfully imparts the doctors’ hope and determination as they desperately search for a life-saving answer.  “Young people interested in medicine or scientific discovery will find this book engrossing, as will history students.”  —School Library Journal

Welcome to the 21st century, the time when racism is alive and well, even though everybody claims they live in a post-racial society. In order to fight the racist thought, it is essential that people first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society.
Written by Seymour Abrahams, American Racism Paradox explores the idea of racism from the day it appeared until today.

Even though racist ideas are easily produced, they can be as easily discredited. Abrahams wrote this book as an additional attempt to fight racism. American Racism Paradox sheds a light on the murky history of racist ideas and offers the listener all the tools they need to expose them. The fight against racism is not over; it is just getting started!Scroll up and click on “buy now" to get the audiobook
