Westminster Orphans

A Victorian Romance

By: Ellie Jacobs

Before an influenza epidemic rages through Victorian London, the Shaw children seem blessed. They have a comfortable home, loving parents and a bright future. Then, in a few short weeks, their world collapses. Both parents and a baby brother are taken by the epidemic, and six heart-broken orphans are forced out of the only home they have ever known into the the horrors of abject poverty. Rosey, George and Anabel have no choice but to stay with their cruel and greedy Uncle in the slums of Westminster. Angelic Letitia is snatched away from her family by her father’s corrupt business partner, and Eliza and Frank are consigned to the workhouse. Rosey, the eldest, is devastated when she realises that she has no chance of keeping the promise she made to her dying mother: to take care of her brothers and sisters. She and George, starving and browbeaten, are struggling to survive themselves. In the Westminster Orphans series, we follow Rosey’s never-ending effort to find her missing siblings. We suffer with Rosey, George and Anabel as Rosey tries desperately to carry on her mother’s legacy. We walk in Eliza’s shoes while she grows thin and weak in the workhouse, and is then punished for the lies told by spiteful Daphne when the two of them are sent out into domestic service. We feel Tish’s loneliness as she tries to adapt to a house that has everything but love, and then descends into a life of horror just when she thinks she has escaped. We suffer the bullying and unfair punishment in the workhouse meted out to Frank and his only friend, Ginnie. All they want to do is escape and seek a better, more hopeful life. Instead, they are faced with the most dangerous work they can imagine: long days working in a cotton mill with an owner who cares only how much money he can make. It seems impossible that even worse is to come… yet it does… But through it all, the six Shaw orphans and their good friend Ginnie keep battling, keep hoping, and desperately hold on to fast-vanishing memories of a life worth living.

In Tandem With You

A Fake Fiancé Valentine's Day Romance in Paris

By: Ellie Jennings

The plan was simple. Pose as her fake fiancé on Valentine’s Day to put an end to her boss’s unwanted advances. She needed a hero, and I was happy to oblige. There’s just one problem. I’m already falling for her. Moving to Paris to start a cycling business has always been the end game, and I’m one phone call away from my dream becoming a reality. But my ambitions hit a hairpin turn when I come face-to-face with Nora Turner, my new dental hygienist and the woman I’ve secretly been pining for. She doesn’t remember me from last summer, but that doesn’t stop her from accepting my offer to pose as her fake fiancé when her boss gets a little too handsy. And when he invites her to a Valentine’s Day happy hour, it’s my job to accompany her and convince her colleagues that my feelings for her are anything but fake. Shouldn’t be too hard considering I haven’t been able to get her out of my head. To her, this engagement might be a ruse, but to me, it’s an audition for the real deal. And when by some twist of fate we find ourselves traveling to Paris together, I have a lot more planned than just seeing the Eiffel Tower. I’ve got one weekend to show Nora how much I want her, and if Cupid’s on my side, turn this fake engagement into a real one.

The tale of a scenic cycling trip—including an index of the 50 finest beers tasted on the trip"One more wouldn't hurt," said Mick. I looked at him doubtfully. "I'm not sure. It's gone three o'clock already. What time does it get dark in Cornwall at this time of year?" "Not for ages," said Mick, waving his hand dismissively. "One more and then we'll get on." He headed back to the bar with our empty beer glasses.As Ellie's 50th birthday approaches and her ambitions of a steady income, a successful career, and an ascent of Everest seem as far away as ever, she begins to doubt she's capable of achieving anything at all. So when her best friend Mick suggests a grueling cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats, she takes up the challenge. They opt for the scenic route which takes them along cycle paths, towpaths, and the back roads and byways of Britain, unable to resist sampling local beers in the pubs they pass along the way. But as the pints start to stack up faster than the miles they’re putting under their tires, Ellie wonders if they'll ever make it to the finishing line.

Abortion, Motherhood, and Mental Health

Medicalizing Reproduction in the United States and Great Britain

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Abortion, Motherhood, and Mental Health

Medicalizing Reproduction in the United States and Great Britain

By: Ellie Lee

Whatever reproductive choices women make--whether they opt to end a pregnancy through abortion or continue to term and give birth--they are considered to be at risk of suffering serious mental health problems. According to opponents of abortion in the United States, potential injury to women is a major reason why people should consider abortion a problem. On the other hand, becoming a mother can also be considered a big risk. This fine, well-balanced book is about how people represent the results of reproductive choices. It examines how and why pregnancy and its various outcomes have come to be discussed this way. The author's interest in the medicalization of reproduction--its representation as a mental health problem--first arose in relation to abortion. There is a very clear contrast between the construction of women who have abortions, implied by moralized argument against abortion, and the construction that results when the case against abortion focuses on its effects on women's mental health. Lee argues that claims that connect abortion with mental illness have been limited in their influence, but this is not to suggest that they have not become a focus for discussion and have had no impact. The limits to such claims about abortion do not, by any means, suggest limits to the process of the medicalization of pregnancy more broadly, that is, a process of demedicalization. The final theme of Ellie Lee's book is the selective medicalization of reproduction. Centering on the claim that abortion can create a post abortion syndrome, the author examines the "medicalization" of the abortion problem on both sides of the Atlantic. Lee points to contrasts in legal and medical dimensions of the abortion issue that make for some important differences, but argues that in both the United States and Great Britain, the post-abortion-syndrome claim constitutes an example of the limits to medicalization and the return to the theme of motherhood as a psychological ordeal. Lee makes the case for looking to the social dimensions of mental health problems to account for and understand debates about what makes women ill. Ellie Lee is research fellow in the Department of Sociology and Social Policy, University of Southampton, Highfield, United Kingdom.

The Mad River Valley

By: John Hilferty,Ellie Hilferty

Beginning as an icy trickle in the Green Mountains of Vermont, the northward-flowing Mad River and its scenic valley have changed little since being settled after the Revolutionary War. The valley's dairy farms, terraced meadows, upland forests, nineteenth-century villages, country inns, and classic ski resorts attract a half-million tourists each year. The historic photographs in The Mad River Valley show slices of daily life in the valley's five towns: Warren, Waitsfield, and Moretown, which lie in the river's path; and Fayston and Duxbury, on the valley's western slope. The area's economy, driven and sustained by river-powered mills and logging, plus sheep, then dairy farming, eventually gave way to the more spirited pastimes of skiing, hiking, fishing, and biking, all dictated by the lay of the land and the flow of the river.

My Squirrel Days

Tales from the Star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and The Office

By: Ellie Kemper

Comedian and star of The Office and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and host of The Great American Baking Show Ellie Kemper delivers a hilarious, refreshing, and inspiring collection of essays “teeming with energy and full of laugh-out-loud moments” (Associated Press). “A pleasure. Ellie Kemper is the kind of stable, intelligent, funny, healthy woman that usually only exists in yogurt commercials. But she’s real and she’s all ours!” —Tina Fey “Ellie is a hilarious and talented writer, although we’ll never know how much of this book the squirrel wrote.”—Mindy Kaling Meet Ellie, the best-intentioned redhead next door. You’ll laugh right alongside her as she shares tales of her childhood in St. Louis, whether directing and also starring in her family holiday pageant, washing her dad’s car with a Brillo pad, failing to become friends with a plump squirrel in her backyard, eating her feelings while watching PG-13 movies, or becoming a “sports monster” who ends up warming the bench of her Division 1 field hockey team in college. You’ll learn how she found her comedic calling in the world of improv, became a wife, mother and New Yorker, and landed the role of a bridesmaid (while simultaneously being a bridesmaid) in Bridesmaids. You’ll get to know and love the comic, upbeat, perpetually polite actress playing Erin Hannon on The Office, and the exuberant, pink-pants-wearing star of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. If you’ve ever been curious about what happens behind the scenes of your favorite shows, what it really takes to be a soul cycle “warrior,” how to recover if you accidentally fall on Doris Kearns Goodwin or tell Tina Fey on meeting her for the first time that she has “great hair—really strong and thick,” this is your chance to find out. But it’s also a laugh-out-loud primer on how to keep a positive outlook in a world gone mad and how not to give up on your dreams. Ellie “dives fully into each role—as actor, comedian, writer, and also wife and new mom—with an electric dedication, by which one learns to reframe the picture, and if not exactly become a glass-half-full sort of person, at least become able to appreciate them” (Vogue.com).

Blood of the White Rose

By: Ellie Huncote

May 1471. On their way to another battle in the Wars of the Roses, the hopeful Yorkist party makes a stop in Malmesbury, to take what may be their last opportunity to enjoy wine and women, before the slaughter to come at Tewkesbury. For one Malmesbury girl, those brief two days will change her life forever. Drawn to a handsome young noble she sees swimming in the river, they form a sudden, deep and ultimately tragic attachment to each other, and it is only as he rides away that she discovers the identity of her mysterious lover, and realises how utterly beyond her reach he is. And it is only after he has gone that she realises he has left her a gift far more lasting and precious than the antique ruby ring he pressed upon her as a token of the love they shared... This is the tale of the desperate courage of a king who fights for the life he never believed he might one day possess, and the unwavering loyalty of his closest friend and ally, their destinies woven together by the determination of one woman.

Vampire’s Dilemma

By: Penny Ash,Roberta Rogow,Ellie Fleming,James A. Dibble,Rusty Goode,Laura Wise,Anne Phyllis Pinzow,Robyn Hugo McIntyre

Life doesn't stop being complicated just because you're dead. In the old days, vampires were sexy, ruthless, and evil. They could, and would, compel the living to do whatever they wanted. They owned the night. Unfortunately, being undead in modern times has unexpected and disturbing challenges. Now nine authors take an amused, and sometimes grim look at the problems some vampires face in the twenty-first century. In "Thin White Duke in Sneakers," a newly turned environmental activist and confirmed vegan has some serious issues with his politically incorrect vampire diet. Family life is disrupted in "Uncle Dmitri" when the police suddenly want to know what kindly Uncle Dmitri might be doing at night besides driving a cab. A young artist in "Take My Breath Away" desperately seeks a real vampire to turn her into an immortal only to discover she will still need to get a job to pay her rent. In "The Face on the Coin," unlife is complicated by obsession, a vampire ghost, and time travel. "Farmer" is a tale of the far-future where humans may well be hunted off the face of the Earth. "Sunrise Decision" is the compelling story of a young marine in Fallujah who can only stop a murderous predator by making his own, personal life and death decision. In "They Shall Take Up Serpents," a predatory Revivalist preacher is brought to justice by a vampire and a cage full of snakes. In "Sale Season," intrigue and vampire romance haunt the art galleries of Europe while "Cursed Blood" asks the eternal question: Do you always have to bite the one you love? These authors were inspired to write by various TV shows, from Star Trek, Forever Knight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (& Angel) to White Collar, Burn Notice, Vampire Diaries, Being Human, etc. and have made the leap from fanfiction to professional writing. All these stories are original universes.
