Beschreibung

In "The Extraordinary Life Story of Harriet Tubman," Sarah H. Bradford meticulously chronicles the remarkable journey of one of America'Äôs most pivotal abolitionists. This biographical narrative is not merely a recounting of Tubman's life; it delves into the tumultuous era of slavery and the burgeoning abolitionist movement, rendered through Bradford's evocative and accessible prose. The text is steeped in historical context, offering both vivid storytelling and poignant insights into Tubman's indomitable spirit, her daring escapes, and her relentless commitment to liberty and social justice. Sarah H. Bradford, a prominent 19th-century writer and social activist, was inspired by her own experiences in a nation grappling with the morality of slavery. A contemporary of Tubman, Bradford'Äôs close association with abolitionist circles and her extensive research into Tubman'Äôs life positioned her uniquely to bring forth this compelling account. Her personal dedication to social reform is reflected in her empathetic portrayal of Tubman, highlighting not just her achievements but the challenges she faced as a Black woman in a prejudiced society. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, social justice, or the life of extraordinary individuals. Bradford'Äôs work not only serves as a biography but as a source of inspiration, encouraging readers to reflect on the themes of courage, resilience, and the fight against injustice that remain relevant today.

    Pamela Edwards was going blind. 
    What job could she do without vision? 
    How would she support herself and her children? 
    When Pamela received her retinitis pigmentosa diagnosis, it sent her world into chaos. As a single mother of three small children, she had to fight. Giving into the blindness was never an option. She needed to find a way but feared time was not on her side. With the help of those closest to her, she found the resources and confidence to persevere. 
    Consumed with self-doubt, Pamela pursued training and education to help her function in daily life without vision. Every experience taught her something new about herself and helped her to go on another day. Despair consumed her, but she reached deep within and searched her inner soul. She wrapped herself in music. She found joy in her children. She prepared for a future without sight. And she journaled almost every day. But with each passing day, month, and year, she waited for the morning when she would wake up to complete darkness. 
    Many years later, with a small field of vision remaining, Pamela revisited her personal journals from the years when she struggled to make it through the day. She saw them in a new light. The grief that had overwhelmed her had not kept her from finding joy and purpose in life. The journey brought her full circle in her healing and self-growth. Through every bittersweet hardship, she was transformed. She replaced the days of feeling inadequate with days of creative self-expression. Now, she sees her life for what it is and what it has always been. 
    A kaleidoscope of beauty.

    American Leftovers is the story of Heidi, Eric, and Shaun, three children who follow their parents through eastern Europe on Bible-smuggling adventures in the early 1970s. When they return to the States, they face third-culture questions of home and identity. They also deal with sexual situations and abuse, while settling into an evangelical bubble with their parents who pastor a fast-growing church. Everything collapses when their father runs off with an eighteen-year-old girl, leaving behind his family and church. This forces Heidi, Eric, and Shaun to reconcile their own spiritual fervor with the lies and dysfunction so close to home.
