The Accidental Diarist

A History of the Daily Planner in America

By: Molly A. McCarthy

In this era of tweets and blogs, it is easy to assume that the self-obsessive recording of daily minutiae is a recent phenomenon. But Americans have been navel-gazing since nearly the beginning of the republic. The daily planner—variously called the daily diary, commercial diary, and portable account book—first emerged in colonial times as a means of telling time, tracking finances, locating the nearest inn, and even planning for the coming winter. They were carried by everyone from George Washington to the soldiers who fought the Civil War. And by the twentieth century, this document had become ubiquitous in the American home as a way of recording a great deal more than simple accounts. In this appealing history of the daily act of self-reckoning, Molly McCarthy explores just how vital these unassuming and easily overlooked stationery staples are to those who use them. From their origins in almanacs and blank books through the nineteenth century and on to the enduring legacy of written introspection, McCarthy has penned an exquisite biography of an almost ubiquitous document that has borne witness to American lives in all of their complexity and mundanity.

By: Will O’Siorain,Diana Powell,Damien Mckeating,Farren Jecky,Méadh de Brún,Molly Aitken

This fresh collection of short stories follows on from the popular 2016 collection with a new group of contemporary authors hauling ancient Irish, Scottish and Welsh stories and concepts out of the shadows and placing them firmly back into the limelight where they belong.

Accompanied by explanatory notes on the background cultural context, this latest collection examines the stories of Macha and the naming of Eamain Macha, the deity ‘An Dagda’, ‘Changlings’, why you should be careful with crows and many others. Na Ceiltigh, abú!

Now, the grand lodge in the Catskill Mountains is nearly ready for the opening event—a society wedding for 500 guests. The only thing missing is a chef. That’s where Alice comes in.

But nothing is simple at The Riverview and soon she’s dealing with a bridezilla, pink swans, a series of mysterious letters and a teenage delinquent.

Or will The Riverview work its magic on Alice and Gabe? From NEW York Times Bestselling Author Zoe York. LOVE ON A SUMMER NIGHT: Never say never. Especially not to a determined bad boy. Zander Minelli is exactly the wrong kind of man. He’s dark, dangerous, and knows far too much about sawed-off shotguns. Faith Davidson finds him irresistible. The widowed single mother knows she should dip her toe back in the dating pool with someone solid and dependable. Definitely no tattoos. But every time she looks up, the brooding soldier is watching her, and she can’t help but wonder what it would be like to let herself have a taste… Small town summer nights have never been hotter—and one transplanted city-girl’s heart has never been more fragile.

Material Traces of War

Stories of Canadian Women and Conflict, 1914—1945

By: Stacey Barker,Krista Cooke,Molly McCullough

This volume looks at Canadian women’s experiences of, and contributions to, the world wars through objects, images, and archival documents. The book tells the stories of women who worked as civilians, served in the military, volunteered their time, and grieved lost loved ones, through thematically organized vignettes. The authors place these personal narratives of individual woman, and their related material culture, in the wider context of the world wars while demonstrating that the experience of living through global conflict was as individual as a woman’s particular circumstances. Drawing from the collections of the Canadian War Museum, the Canadian Museum of History, and other public and private collections in Canada, Material Traces of War brings largely unknown material culture collections to public view and draws attention to the untold stories of women and war.

Bright I Burn

A Novel

By: Molly Aitken

A fierce, electrifying novel inspired by the true story of the first woman to be condemned as a witch in Ireland In thirteenth-century Ireland, a woman with power is a woman to be feared. Alice, the daughter of a wealthy innkeeper in Kilkenny, grows up watching her mother wither under the constraints of family responsibilities—and she vows that she will never suffer the same fate. In time, she discovers she has a flair for making money, and takes her father's flourishing business to new heights. But as her riches and stature grow, so too do rumors about her private life. By the time she marries her fourth husband—the three earlier are dead—a storm of local gossip and resentment culminates in a life-threatening accusation . . . A breathtaking act of imagination, Bright I Burn gives voice to a woman lost to history, who dared to carve a space of her own in a man’s world.

An Armful of Babies and a Cup of Tea

Memoirs of a 1950s NHS Health Visitor

By: Molly Corbally

A touching and warm-hearted memoir of a young health visitor in postwar England, for fans of Call the Midwife and The Language of Kindness. After serving as a nurse in WW2, Molly Corbally joined the brand new NHS and became one of the first official District Health Visitors, attending to mothers and babies from all walks of life in the picturesque village near Coventry she came to call home. Social work was uncharted territory at the time, and Britain was very much worse for wear - TB, polio, measles and whooping cough were just some of the hazards new babies faced. Social conditions could also add to the problems, at a time when poverty and alcoholism were rife. Armed with only her nursing training, her common sense and a desire to serve, Molly set out to win over a community and provide a new and valuable service in times of great change. As well as the challenges there was also joy and laughter, from the woman who finally had a baby after fifteen years of trying, to the woman who thought she should use marmalade as nappy cream, because the hospital had never taken the label off the jar they were using to store it. Warm, witty and moving, An Armful of Babies is a vivid portrait of rural England in the post-war years, a testament to an NHS in its own infancy and a celebration of nurses and midwives. Their tireless care saves lives, and we need them now more than ever.

The Island Child

A novel

By: Molly Aitken

A spellbinding debut novel--soaring and poignant--about passion, freedom, motherhood, and the power we have to shape our destinies. Oona grew up on the island of Inis: a wind-blasted rock off the coast of Ireland. There, the men went out on fishing boats and the women tended turf fires, the only book was the Bible, and girls stayed at home until they became mothers themselves. Even as a child, Oona knew she wanted to escape island life, but she never could have anticipated the tumultuous turn of events that would ultimately compel her to flee. Twenty years later, after Oona has forged a new, very different life for herself, her daughter vanishes, forcing Oona to face her past in order, finally, to be free of it. Heralding a singularly gifted new voice in fiction, The Island Child is a timeless story of birth and betrayal, storms, shipwrecks and fairy children, and the weight of long-buried secrets.

Today, She Is

By: Molly Miltenberger Murray

In the summer of Molly's fifteenth year, a speedboat landed on her head. She suffered a horrendously severe brain injury and experienced a miraculous and unprecedented survival. She woke up to the realization that she had to relearn everything, and she had the next three tenuous, painful years to figure out how far she would recover. That was high school. During those three years, she would have given anything to talk to someone who had undergone a similar recovery and who had come out the other side. This book is the story that she wanted to read. This is how it feels to recover.

The Servants of Empire

The Servants of Empire

Sponsored German Women’s Colonization in Southwest Africa, 1896-1945

By: K. Molly O’Donnell

Capturing the history of thousands of German women recruited to colonize Southwest Africa between the 1890s and 1940s, The Servants of Empire engages a radical nationalist history of German efforts to prevent interracial unions and establish permanent white settlement. As colonists, sponsored women often supported or even helped perpetrate extreme patterns of racist violence and vigilantism in Namibia, which linked them inextricably to marked atrocities such as the Herero and Nama Genocides. Navigating the intersections of German attitudes toward race, class, ethnicity, gender, and nation, this revealing study traces the German settler community’s gossip and rumors to uncover how the many poor white female settlers in Southwest Africa disrupted bourgeois race and gender relations and contributed to the trenchant sexual and racial violence in the territory.
