Book Description
The Sullivans are a normal family. But after being transported to the magical world of Arenia, normal isn't a luxury they can afford. It's just another Thanksgiving for the Sullivans-until the walls disappear and they discover they are being transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn't mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Oops. Too bad he already faked their deaths. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness and armed only with their Tomes-books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests-the family members must discover a strength they didn't know they had if they are going to survive long enough to find each other. Note: Contains some profanity and a turkey, but not a profane turkey. Personally, I'm fine with profane turkeys, but if that's where you draw the line, you should know that there are none in this book. In fact, I'm going to promise you no profane turkeys for the entire series. That's my gift to you.

She Can Bring Us Home
Author: Diane Kiesel
Publisher: Potomac Books
ISBN: 1640121684
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Long before it became the slogan of the presidential campaign for Barack Obama, Dorothy Ferebee (1898–1980) lived by the motto “Yes, we can.” An African American obstetrician and civil rights activist from Washington DC, she was descended from lawyers, journalists, politicians, and a judge. At a time when African Americans faced Jim Crow segregation, desperate poverty, and lynch mobs, she advised presidents on civil rights and assisted foreign governments on public health issues. Though articulate, visionary, talented, and skillful at managing her publicity, she was also tragically flawed. Ferebee was president of the Alpha Kappa Alpha black service sorority and later became the president of the powerful National Council of Negro Women in the nascent civil rights era. She stood up to gun-toting plantation owners to bring health care to sharecroppers through her Mississippi Health Project during the Great Depression. A household name in black America for forty years, Ferebee was also the media darling of the thriving black press. Ironically, her fame and relevance faded as African Americans achieved the political power for which she had fought. In She Can Bring Us Home, Diane Kiesel tells Ferebee’s extraordinary story of struggle and personal sacrifice to a new generation.

The Brotherhood of Battle
Author: Jerald L. Marsh
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1469174960
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
Stories of generals and battles of the American Civil War have been told and retold but relatively little has been written about the common soldiers who fought in the war. In his thoroughly researched history of the Civil War soldiers and families of the upstate New York town of Newark Valley, Jerry Marsh sheds light on the lives of three hundred and nineteen soldiers of the town. He tells of the preacher's son who prayed to be a faithful soldier under the "Stars and Stripes" and the "Banner of Jesus," the eleven families who sent their father and son(s) to the war, the seventy sets of brothers who served, the youths and older men who misrepresented their ages to enlist, the seventy-four men killed or wounded in battle and thirty-nine who died of disease, the families who brought their dead or dying sons back to be buried at home, and the veterans who became productive citizens in New York and across the expanding nation. Marsh's narrative is enhanced by photographs, letters, diaries, and anecdotes from descendants of the courageous soldiers who fought to save the Union and ensure the freedom of all citizens of the "new nation."

Women in the Church of God in Christ
Author: Anthea Butler
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807882909
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The Church of God in Christ (COGIC), an African American Pentecostal denomination founded in 1896, has become the largest Pentecostal denomination in the United States today. In this first major study of the church, Anthea Butler examines the religious and social lives of the women in the COGIC Women's Department from its founding in 1911 through the mid-1960s. She finds that the sanctification, or spiritual purity, that these women sought earned them social power both in the church and in the black community. Offering rich, lively accounts of the activities of the Women's Department founders and other members, Butler shows that the COGIC women of the early decades were able to challenge gender roles and to transcend the limited responsibilities that otherwise would have been assigned to them both by churchmen and by white-dominated society. The Great Depression, World War II, and the civil rights movement brought increased social and political involvement, and the Women's Department worked to make the "sanctified world" of the church interact with the broader American society. More than just a community of church mothers, says Butler, COGIC women utilized their spiritual authority, power, and agency to further their contestation and negotiation of gender roles in the church and beyond.

Abandoned Queen
Author: Jennifer Fleming
Publisher: Jennifer Fleming
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Queen Peydra has refused to submit to the curse’s inevitability for nine years, but... Still struggling against the darkness of the ever-nearing curse and growing affections for her mysterious attendant, Peydra has occupied the throne of Drayden for nine years. During that time, she has spent untold hours crafting a proposal to remove the Protection Dictum from the Law Books, but her hope flounders after a meeting during which Ruling Council ignores the main tenants of it, even in conversation. The evening after the discouraging meeting, an assassin brings a crooked blade down upon her bedclothes and Anthony is wounded as he fights with the intruder. He hides it behind machismo, but it backfires. While he recovers, and as things seem to be calming, hooded men abduct the queen and demand she give them the Stone of Drayden, a legendary object that grants the possessor important monarchical rights. When she is found and returned to the palace, she is not the same. Anxieties that she could quiet before the abduction roar in her ears and give her chest pains. Then Speaker Glorienzel is found dead at his estate and a new enigmatic man comes to take his place just as her proposal to remove the curse from law is threatened by The Cleaning of the Law Books, a tradition which she knows has the power to destroy her proposal’s viability, and the nine years she spent crafting it. With that hope-squashing thought, she soon begins to lose confidence, especially as Anthony abandons her for Theôran. Questions about Anthony’s identity and whether he will return shroud her days. His absence leaves her vulnerable to the machinations of the new Speaker of the Council. Will she abandon hope of defeating the curse and listen to Ruling Council’s demand that she ignore her intuition and place the handsome new Speaker on the throne? Abandoned Queen is the second of Fleming’s four book series, Curse of Royalty. Queen Peydra continues her struggle against the darkness of the curse, endures consequences for her bad decisions, and denies the growing affections for and dependence on her attendant. Anthony attempts to keep the queen safe despite her foolish decisions.
