Betty Jane Morison's Books

Elizabeth is on holiday in Bar Harbor for the Fourth of July. On the itinerary are proper, well-bred luncheons, a parade, and after dark a fireworks display, with one unscheduled and definitely unpleasant interruption: murder.

Elizabeth Lamb, now thirteen years old, has just begun prep school on Mount Desert Island and finds herself in a new world of strict rules, regulations and could it be...murder?

Compilers Shoemaker and Rudity have assembled a definitive list of 9,000 marriages performed in this southern Ohio county between 1803 and 1860. Each record contains the names of the bride and groom, the date of the marriage, a source citation, and often ages, places of residence, and the names of parents. For convenience, the records are listed in alphabetical order by grooms' names; brides and all others mentioned in the records are listed separately in the index.

Rachel Jackson, wife of President Andrew Jackson, never wanted to be First Lady and tried to dissuade her husband from his political ambitions. Yet she publicly supported his political advancement and was the first wife of a presidential candidate to take to the campaign trail. Privy to his political decisions, she offered valued counsel, and Jackson sometimes regretted not taking her advice. Denied a traditional education by her father, Rachel's innate business savvy made the Jacksons' Tennessee plantation and businesses profitable during her husband's continual absences. This biography chronicles the life of a First Lady who rebelled against 19th-century constraints on women, overcame personal tragedies to become an inspirational figure of persistence and strength, and found herself at the center of one of the vilest presidential smear campaigns in history.

Elizabeth Lamb, now thirteen years old, has just begun prep school on Mount Desert Island and finds herself in a new world of strict rules, regulations and could it be...murder?

Estranged for years from her daughter, a mother tries to unite the realities of middle age with the dream of youth in this story of love and reconciliation. Available in softcover and on audiocassette.
