Book Description
Ann Preston is best known as a medical pioneer and nineteenth century Quaker activist. The immediate cause of the publication of Cousin Ann's Stories for Children (1849) was most likely the then recent 27 hour escape at the end of March, 1849, of Henry "Box" Brown, a Richmond slave who left his family and escaped north in a small wooden crate. Includes stories and poems on the subject of slavery and other moral issues, including temperance, healthy diet, and avoidance of tobacco; to treasure freedom and abhor slavery; to appreciate the bounty and beauty of God's creation; and the need to treat others generously and honestly.

Book Description
A lonely astronaut stumbles upon a disaster in the making: the Earth will be turned into a crater-pocked ruin and millions of people will be killed, unless she can convince someone to take preventive action. But she has a huge problem. After all, who would believe an ordinary young woman who said such a thing, especially if there is no record she is an astronaut and especially not if she also claims to have come from a different solar system? Only the U. S. government does, and hunts her with all the forces it can muster. Terrified and with few resources, she tries desperately to disprove people's low opinion of what a young woman is capable of. And what about her earthly boy friend? Would he believe her, or sell her out?
