"Powerful, enchanting, and spirited, this novel will delight." - Patti Callahan, bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Includes discussion questions and a list of books from the author. This sweet, contemporary read is a standalone novel, though characters in this story will appear in Katherine Reay's forthcoming book, Of Literature and Lattes. Has she been too quick to dismiss her aunt's beloved shop? And even if she has, the women's best combined efforts may be too little, too late. When Madeline's professional life falls apart, and a handsome gardener upends all her preconceived notions, she questions her plans and her heart. Claire, though quieter than the acerbic Janet, feels equally drawn to the daily rhythms of the shop and its loyal clientele, finding a renewed purpose within its walls. Reeling from a recent divorce, Janet finds sanctuary within the books and within the decadent window displays she creates. While Madeline intends to sell the shop as quickly as possible, the Printed Letter's two employees have other ideas. But by the time Madeline inherits the shop nearly twenty years later, family troubles and her own bitter losses have hardened Madeline's heart toward her once-treasured aunt-and the now struggling bookshop left in her care. One of Madeline Cullen's happiest childhood memories is of working with her Aunt Maddie in the quaint and cozy Printed Letter Bookshop. All can be found at the Printed Letter Bookshop in the small, charming town of Winsome.

But of course, that’s just my personal opinion and others may not feel the same way. I just couldn’t put the book down, ladies! However, if I may offer one small criticism, I felt that some parts of the book towards the end were a bit rushed. Why do some people believe that money equals power? This book illustrates that money isn’t everything. I must say, I received A Love Called Simon by Sandi Lynn this afternoon at around 3 o’clock and now it’s midnight and I’ve finished it! It’s definitely a must-read, and you’ll find yourself asking “Why?!” I think many people can relate to a story like this one, about being mistreated or emotionally neglected. Just make sure to have plenty of tissues nearby! -Dee Sandi Lynn, your writing is improving with each book and I am a very satisfied reader. I don’t want to dissuade anyone from reading it though, as there are also moments of joy and happiness that will bring tears of a different kind. The part that really got to me was the ending, where I couldn’t hold back my tears.

The book is nine hours thirty-one minutes. I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. I have read his biographies of Alexander Hamilton and George Washington. Richard Brookhiser is a journalist and biographer. I think that Brookhiser’s biography is ideal for the lay reader. Brookhiser’s book was a bit more entertaining. Brookhiser is more concise and covered primarily his working life and relationship with George Washington. John Richard Paul’s book “Without Precedent” was longer and provided more information about Marshall’s personal life as well as more in-depth analysis of his various rulings. According to Brookhiser it was Marshall that brought dignity to the Court. Marshall laid down the principles of the law and policies of the Court. Marshall was sworn in as Chief Justice in 1801 and died in 1835 in a stagecoach accident when travelling for the Court. None of these men served in the position long. The first was John Jay, then John Rutledge and then Oliver Ellsworth. John Marshall (1755-1835) was the fourth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. When I saw this newly released biography of Marshall by Richard Brookhiser, I had to buy it. The book wet my appetite to learn more about John Marshall.

Charlie's speed attracts the attention of local crime boss Squizzy Taylor who offers him a job as a runner, delivering goods and collecting payments. After his father's death, Charlie still wears knickerbockers at school, "but once the lessons were over, I returned home and stepped into the long pants of adulthood."

Though the couple love Ruth as if she were their own daughter, they tell her to go north with her sister and to do what she says. She has been living with an elderly slave couple and a young boy named Aberdeen since being sent south in 1776. Instead, Ruth is cold and won't even look at her sister. Now, as runaway slaves, they have already walked nearly 1,000 miles from Pennsylvania to Virginia to South Carolina in search of Isabel's younger, epileptic sister, Ruth, and dodging British and Continental patrols, armed Loyalists and bounty hunters along the way.īut when they finally find Ruth, Isabel doesn't get the reception she had been hoping for. Three years have gone by since Isabel and Curzon escaped from Valley Forge and their enslavement by the cruel, sadistic Mister Bellingham. And while Chains was told from Isabel's point of view, and Forge was told from Curzon's point of view, in Ashes the story is again narrated by Isabel. Ashes continues the story of Isabel and Curzon begun in Chains and continued in Forge, picking up the threads of their story 3 years later, beginning on June 25, 1781, and ending on November 5, 1781.

Today, the City of Salem attracts more than one million tourists per year, many of whom are seeking to learn more about these events. A remarkable set of conflicts and tensions converged, sparking fear and setting the stage for the most widespread and lethal outbreak of witchcraft accusations on this continent.Ĭenturies after this storied crisis, the personal tragedies and grievous wrongs of the Salem Witch Trials continue to provoke reflection, reckoning and a search for meaning. The crisis in Salem, Massachusetts took place partly because the community lived under an ominous cloud of suspicion. The extraordinary series of events in 1692 led to the deaths of 25 innocent women, men and children. The Salem witch trials are a defining example of intolerance and injustice in American history.
