Lady Rode Bucking Horses

The Story of Fannie Sperry Steele, Woman of the West

By: Dee Marvine

The Lady Rode Bucking Horses depicts an era of the American West when capturing renegade horses from the hills above the homestead served as training ground for extraordinary horsemanship. It documents the life of the outstanding girl who outrode them all at stampedes and roundups and the woman she became, her spirit undaunted throughout a life marked with courage and adventure, triumph and heartache. Born on a Montana homestead in 1887, at the age of two, Fannie Sperry declared "I gonna catch me a white-face horsie." A remarkable woman who became a world champion, she raced thoroughbreds with a women's relay team known as the Montana Girls, twice won the title of Lady Bucking Horse Champion of the World, rode with Buffalo Bill Cody and other top western performers, became the first woman in the state of Montana to be granted an outfitters license, and was named a charter member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

All Aboard for Paradise

By: Dee Marvine

The author of "Last Chance," which was nominated for the Western Writers of America Best First Novel award, brings the California frontier to life. . . . The sleepy village of Los Angeles suddenly awakens in March, 1886, when a fare war reduces the price of a one-way ticket to just one dollar, and the railroads advertise the southern California desert as a "paradise on earth." Longing to escape her drab life in Missouri, Claire Chadwick, single 34-year-old mother of 15-year-old Joanna, seizes the opportunity and rides an immigrant train that carries them west. On the train, Randy Plank, an ambitious young adventurer, falls in love with her. She comes to care for him, but her daughter, too, is smitten with Randy. Arriving in burgeoning Los Angeles, their lives unfold with the land boom that within two years brings 200,000 people to the unlikely "paradise." Claire plunges into the real-estate scramble and, with pluck and luck, rides the wave of the land boom to build a business. Assisted along the way by handsome bank manager Harry Graham, who also falls in love with her; eccentric McKenzie Tate, real estate tycoon; and dynamic Farley Dodd, her employer who is running for mayor, Claire achieves the financial security she seeks for herself and her daughter. But the boom is followed by the inevitable bust, and Claire must choose between a safe marriage and her determination to save her hard-won business and retain her independence. Dee Marvine lives in Big Timber, Montana.

Apostles of Culture

The Public Librarian and American Society, 1876-1920

By: Dee Garrison

In her Foreword, Christine Pawley sums up the importance of Dee Garrison's book as follows: "Nearly a quarter-century has passed since the first edition of Apostles of Culture appeared. Since no book-length study of the formation of the American public library has yet challenged Dee Garrison's 1979 analysis, it remains the most recent---and most-cited--- interpretation of the public library's past, a landmark in the history, and the historiography, of libraries and librarianship...For students and researchers who want to understand the development of a field that still suffers the status of the taken-for-granted, Apostles of Culture stands as a historical document. Its reissue allows its historiographical and political---as well as its historical---significance to be more fully appreciated.

My Daughter, My Daughter

By: Dee Brestin,Lori Beckler

This is a story you won't put down. A story of how God calls: to individual women to begin the women's conference Heritage Keepers - to Lori Beckler, the founder of Heritage Keepers, who heard the call but was nearly derailed by Satan - to Kathy Troccoli, who felt compelled to phone Lori, though she never books her own engagements - to Sandi Patty, who proved to be a vital part of God's plan, and whose vulnerability will strengthen you - to Point of Grace, whose Heritage Keepers' story will thrill you. The same God is calling to you: My precious child, I love you. Even if you did not grow up in a godly home, you have a holy heritage, an inheritance more precious than silver. Embrace this heritage, that the next generation may know. Hidden truths spring to life as Dee parallels the biblical stories of our holy heritage, women like Sarah, the Hebrew midwives, and Miriam, with the faith stories of contemporary women. Each gripping chapter closes with an in-depth Bible study which can be done individually or with a small group of women. Dee's award-winning Bible studies are known for their depth of insight and their ability to strengthen friendships between women.
