Book Description
Priscilla Cummings's Chadwick the Crab series has been a staple of Chesapeake juvenile literature for more than a decade. Now Ms. Cummings turns her hand to another classic genre -- the ABC book -- this one with a Chesapeake regional flavor. From "A is for anchor" to "Z is for a zephyr, " the sights, sounds, and feel of the Bay area come through to the youngest of readers, the picture book set. This is a perfect way to introduce toddlers and preschoolers to the wonders of the alphabet and at the same time instill in them a love of the Chesapeake. Whimsical drawings by David Aiken illustrate the verses about Chesapeake animals and things: C is for a crab, For its claw, and for a creek. You'll find them in the Bay We call the Chesapeake.

Book Description
Imagine an eighteen-year-old American girl who has never read a newspaper, watched television, or made a phone call. An eighteen-year-old-girl who has never danced—and this in the 1960s. It is in Cambridge, Massachusetts where Leonard Feeney, a controversial (soon to be excommunicated) Catholic priest, has founded a religious community called the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Center's members—many of them educated at Harvard and Radcliffe—surrender all earthly possessions and aspects of their life, including their children, to him. Patricia Chadwick was one of those children, and Little Sister is her account of growing up in the Feeney sect. Separated from her parents and forbidden to speak to them, Patricia bristles against the community’s draconian rules, yearning for another life. When, at seventeen, she is banished from the Center, her home, she faces the world alone, without skills, family, or money but empowered with faith and a fierce determination to succeed on her own, which she does, rising eventually to the upper echelons of the world of finance and investing. A tale of resilience and grace, Little Sister chronicles, in riveting prose, a surreal childhood and does so without rancor or self-pity.
