Time to Reconcile

The Odyssey of a Southern Baptist

By: Grace Bryan Holmes

Grace Bryan Holmes was born in rural Georgia in 1919. During a troubled childhood, she frequently found solace in the black servants who cared for her family part-time. After the death of one of these servants, she resolved to help the woman's surviving children and grandchildren. Over the course of her life, this commitment altered her perspective on the racial prejudice so prevalent in her community. She shouldered the burden of her growing awareness through many years of service as the wife of a rising Baptist minister, until the gradual assertion of the convictions she had formed in silence brought her into direct conflict with prevailing social attitudes, her strong-willed mother, and her husband's congregation. Time to Reconcile is a redemptive account of a southern woman's struggle to free herself from the legacies of prejudice, parental domination, paternalism, and class-consciousness that had defined her life and constricted her thinking. Holmes's vividly detailed and extraordinarily honest recollections offer a refreshingly candid look at the fabric of southern society in the mid-twentieth century.

Reading With Purpose

Selecting and Using Children’s Literature for Inquiry and Engagement

By: Erika Thulin Dawes,Katie Egan Cunningham,Grace Enriquez,Mary Ann Cappiello

From the authors of the popular blog and resource for teachers, The Classroom Bookshelf, this book offers a framework and teaching ideas for using recently released children’s and young adult literature to build a culture of inquiry and engagement from a text-first approach. Reading With Purpose is designed to help K–8 teachers tap into their inner reader, to make intentional text selections for their students, and to create joyful and purpose-driven literacy learning experiences. The heart of the book is organized according to four purposes for selecting and using literature: care for ourselves and one another, connect with the past to understand the present, closely observe the world around us, and cultivate critical consciousness. Each chapter includes classroom stories, accessible research, reasons for why this matters now, and criteria for selecting for this purpose. A final section provides teaching invitations that pair with suggested books but can also be used with any high-quality book teachers may already have in their classrooms. Book Features: Builds on important work from thought leaders urging teachers to create their own reading identities to help them do so for their students.Describes a simple, sustainable framework teachers and teacher educators can use immediately to make more purposeful text selections.Provides myriad teaching ideas, narrative anecdotes from diverse classrooms, student work samples, and reflective questions.Offers a list of recommended, recently published children’s and young adult literature.

Cincinnati Cemeteries

The Queen City Underground

By: Kevin Grace,Tom White

Cincinnati Cemeteries is not only a history of graveyards and their occupants. It also investigates the culture of death and dying in Cincinnati: from the infamous Pearl Bryan murder and the 19th-century cholera epidemics, to the body snatchers who stole the corpse of Benjamin Harrison's father and the notorious "resurrection men." In a city teeming with immigrants and transients these "sack 'em up" grave robbers had ample opportunities to supply cadavers to Cincinnati's medical schools. And if fresh graves weren't available, they lurked for victims in the saloons and the dark alleys of Vine Street and the West End.
