In 1794 a group of Russian orthodox missionaries landed on Kodiak Island, Alaska, with the intent of preaching to native Americans, baptizing those who would accept the Christian life and developing for them both academic and agricultural schools. Of these missionaries, Father Herman lived among the Aleut people for over 40 years, and earned the nickname Apa or Grandfather. He was often involved with local authorities concerning the rights of local natives, who were constantly violated by explorers and foreign authorities. In this volume, author Dorrie Papademetriou captures the essence of the monk and the world of Apa and the Aleut people comes alive in illustrations of northern lights, Kodiak bears, giant cabbages and angel's wings.

Chasing the North Star
Author: Robert Morgan
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1616205954
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
In his latest historical novel, bestselling author Robert Morgan brings to full and vivid life the story of Jonah Williams, who, in 1850, on his eighteenth birthday, flees the South Carolina plantation on which he was born a slave. He takes with him only a few stolen coins, a knife, and the clothes on his back--no shoes, no map, no clear idea of where to head, except north, following a star that he prays will be his guide. Hiding during the day and running through the night, Jonah must elude the men sent to capture him and the bounty hunters out to claim the reward on his head. There is one person, however, who, once on his trail, never lets him fully out of sight: Angel, herself a slave, yet with a remarkably free spirit. In Jonah, she sees her own way to freedom, and so sets out to follow him. Bristling with breathtaking adventure, Chasing the North Star is deftly grounded in historical fact yet always gripping and poignant as the story follows Jonah and Angel through the close calls and narrow escapes of a fearsome world. It is a celebration of the power of the human spirit to persevere in the face of great adversity. And it is Robert Morgan at his considerable best.

Book Description
In the tiny ranching community of Northstar, Montana, peace and friendship are as abundant as the fresh mountain air, but will that be enough to help a family overcome the forces determined to pull them apart? With heartwarming romance, a touch of suspense, and a cast of resilient, quirky characters, the Northstar Angels will grab you by the heartstrings and won't let go. Join the thousands of readers who have fallen in love with Northstar. Get the complete, four-book Northstar Angels series in this box set and save 50%. MOUNTAIN ANGEL - Book OneAelissm Davis figured she would eventually return home to Northstar, Montana, but not like this-driven to seek the tranquility of the secluded valley by memories of her dead boyfriend and the advances of an obsessive former friend. Just when she begins to relax, a call from her old friend makes it clear he wasn't deterred, and she calls her overprotective uncle for advice. Things become even more tangled when he sends Patrick O'Neil "on vacation" to keep an eye on her. Aelissm is pretty sure her uncle is playing matchmaker again, but despite her annoyance, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Pat. He is a haunted man with a kind smile and sad eyes, and he may just be the best thing to ever happen to her... if she can convince him to stay. SUMMER ANGEL - Book TwoFive years ago, Ben Conner killed a man. If that were the worst of it, he could have swallowed the guilt, but the man had a son-an eleven-year-old boy who was now no one's son. When he returns home to Northstar in a last-ditch effort to flee his guilt and nightmares, he prays he can reconnect with his best friend June Montana, because he knows her friendship is the only thing that can help him find peace. Instead of the escape he hoped for, Ben is reunited with the boy he orphaned. He will have to face the consequences of that fateful night or risk destroying his friendship with June. Before he can begin to forgive himself, an entirely new and disturbing problem arises. Someone from June's past wants revenge for a broken heart... and he's willing to kill to get it. WILD ANGEL - Book ThreeLuke Conner is still struggling to move on a decade after the tragic murder of his high school girlfriend. Teaching at the same school he attended has turned out to be a nightmare instead of the dream it once was, and it'll take a miracle to salvage his career and his sanity. Ryan Connelly finds herself wanting to be that miracle. For four years, she has ignored her attraction to Luke, but she can no longer stand by as the other teachers harass him. Ignoring the warning in her still-bruised heart, she extends an offer of friendship. What begins as a tentative camaraderie quickly blossoms into something neither expected to find, but old habits die hard, and they both have to learn how to trust again before they can make a new life together. FORGOTTEN ANGEL - Book FourShane McGuire and Becky Epperson have a history. They might have had much more, but the murders of two close friends killed their shot at forever before it had a chance to breathe. Nine years after Shane broke Becky's heart, they find their way home to Northstar and wonder if it is coincidence or fate that has brought them back at the same time. Becky is tired of pretending she doesn't still love Shane, but that doesn't mean she's willing to give him a second chance. Shane has many mistakes to mend, but he's prepared to do whatever it takes because the things in life worth fighting for rarely come easy.

Book Description
As the ambulance sped out of the school parking lot, rumors at Bethany High School were going rampart. The third-hour class bell had just rung and kids were streaming out of their classes. The ambulance's flashing lights and siren could be seen and heard as it transported Doug to Bethany Memorial Hospital. "I heard it was Doug Thomas. I think he is stoned," one student remarked. "We heard he was DEAD!" two sophomores said in agreement. "This won't be the first time Doug has been stoned, but it could be his last time!" a third student chimed into the conversation. Students stood stunned at the event taking place in their school. Students had been aware that Doug and some of his friends had bragged about doing drugs from time to time, but this was bringing a reality to the student body. ********* Lesam and Lejoy, invisible to the surrounding individuals, sat on the top of the lockers in Bethany High. These Ministering Angels sadly heard all the conversations about Doug. They watch solemnly as the students filed into their fourth-hour classes. "Lesam, this is happening more and more often! I feel so helpless for these unsuspecting teens. They have no idea that they are in the middle of a 'Spiritual Battle' between good and evil." Lejoy wiped a tear from her eye. "If only our commands would come down from the Lord." "You know, as Ministering Angels, we are not allowed to intervene until we are directed by God," Lesam lamented. "We have our new Charges, Lesam. We must focus on God's commands for the Stevenson family, now," Lejoy stated. They both sat silently, as the halls began once again to become void of students. The fourth-hour tardy bell rang.
