We only have the frozen Mississippi to cross...if we get through this...' Virginia continued to walk beside the wagon as she trudged through the snow, her hand in Allen's, her thoughts lingering on her dead sister, buried outside Gallatin, just yesterday. Then she stopped and looked back. Joseph Smith was not with them this time. He was in the hands of the mob awaiting execution for treason. It had been a long time since those desperate days in Missouri. The temple in Salt Lake City had taken forty years to build. Virginia looked up at the granite structure and thanked God she had been allowed to live to see it finished. Today her grandsom would be sealed there.--Back cover.

Scenes and Apparitions

The Roy Strong Diaries 1988–2003

By: Roy Strong

Viper wit from the gardener, writer and Knight of exquisite taste' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Funny, barbed and moving ... magnificently readable' THE TIMES Scenes and Apparitions covers a period of Roy Strong's life from 1988 to 2003. A sequel to Splendours and Miseries, it is an unmissable record of how a citizen at the close of the second Elizabethan age observed and chronicled his own world at the turn of the century. Although it is not without tragedy - the murder of his friend Gianni Versace, and the death of his beloved wife Julia Trevelyan Oman - there is plenty to enjoy from his descriptions of Elton John's fiftieth birthday party, to a concert for the Queen Mother, and his portraits of marriage, friendship, work and his celebrated garden, The Laskett.

By: Roy Strong

Roy Strong's diaries are a treasure . . . magnificently readable' THE TIMES 'Essential reading' TATLER 'When it comes to viperish high-society gossip, Roy Strong is in a class of his own' DAILY MAIL In January 2004, where his third volume of Diaries begins, Roy Strong was in a state of deep grief following the death of his wife, Julia Trevelyan Oman, three months earlier. Yet the following years demonstrate his determination, energy and creativity. New ideas for books are brought to fruition, regular forays into the worlds of TV and radio are made, concluding with the Sir Portrait exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery and news of his forthcoming appointment as a Companion of Honour for services to the nation's culture. Encounters with churchmen, politicians, royalty - and friends old and new - are all described with a telling eye for detail and delicious wit. While there is frustration at the changing world around him, Types and Shadows is a hugely informative and entertaining record of a uniquely full and colourful life.

Splendours and Miseries: The Roy Strong Diaries, 1967-87

By: Roy Strong

The Alan Clark diaries of cultural politics' Sunday Times 'At every word a reputation dies' A. N. Wilson Roy Strong is best known as the flamboyant former director of two great cultural institutions - the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria & Albert Museum. In his first volume of diaries, he takes the reader into the heart of his career, revealing himself to be not just a mercurial and brilliant administrator, but also a shrewd observer of the glittering and political milieu into which he was drawn. We encounter David Hockney in his studio, the poignant figure of Cecil Beaton in decline, Nureyev fizzing with ideas and the Philistine Mrs Thatcher among many others, including a bevy of the Royal Family. And throughout the diaries runs the thread of an exceptional marriage, following his elopement with the designer Julia Trevelyan Oman. Splendours and Miseries provides a unique panorama of the world of the arts, fashion and society, taking us from the outrageous Swinging Sixties to the hard-edged glitz of Thatcher's Britain.

All the Glory Goes to God

A True A True Story: A Little Girl While In A Coma Witnessed God’s True Calling

By: Michelle Strong

All the Glory Goes to God A True Story A Little Girl While In A Coma Witnessed God's True Calling The storms of my life had started to close in all around me when God sent a profound dream. This night left me questioning where God placed me when I was a little girl, five years old in a coma. I realized for the first time in my adult life I was completely loved by the Father. Perplexed, for I wasn't even sure my own earthly father was very fond of me. At this moment, enlightened by the facts which were presented, the heavenly Father loves all of us to the core of our being, no matter age, race, or what we have done in this lifetime. I got to witness the environment God sustained me in throughout the coma, experiencing other children's shining light and pure joy, beyond what I ever fathomed or understood for myself. This is a book about a constant fight with my years of anxiety. God showed the complete love He has for me, in all my incompleteness. The Heavenly Father was engaging me along my journey of growth, to learn that He had been validating me all my life, through my dreams and visions. God was allowing me to let others know that He had His children safely wrapped up in His arms. "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1 John 4:16 NIV

Prostitutes and Matrons in the Roman World

By: Anise K. Strong

Prostitutes and Matrons in the Roman World is the first substantial account of elite Roman concubines and courtesans. Exploring the blurred line between proper matron and wicked prostitute, it illuminates the lives of sexually promiscuous women like Messalina and Clodia, as well as prostitutes with hearts of gold who saved Rome and their lovers in times of crisis. It also offers insights into the multiple functions of erotic imagery and the circumstances in which prostitutes could play prominent roles in Roman public and religious life. Tracing the evolution of social stereotypes and concepts of virtue and vice in ancient Rome, this volume reveals the range of life choices and sexual activity, beyond the traditional binary depiction of wives or prostitutes, that were available to Roman women.

Husband Auditions

By: Angela Ruth Strong

How far would you go to find the perfect husband? All the way back to the 1950s? In a world full of happily-ever-after love, Meri Newberg feels like the last young woman on the planet to be single, at least in her Christian friend group. So when she's handed a strange present at the latest wedding--a 1950s magazine article of "ways to get a husband"--she decides there's nothing to lose by trying out its advice. After all, she can't get any more single, can she? Her brother's roommate sees the whole thing as a great opportunity. Not to fall in love--Kai Kamaka has no interest in the effort a serious relationship takes. No, this is a career jump start. He talks Meri into letting him film every silly husband-catching attempt for a new online show. If it goes viral, his career as a cameraman will be made. When Meri Me debuts, it's an instant hit. People love watching her lasso men on street corners, drop handkerchiefs for unsuspecting potential beaus, and otherwise embarrass herself in pursuit of true love. But the longer this game goes on, the less sure Kai is that he wants Meri to snag anyone but him. The only problem is that he may not be the kind of husband material she's looking for . . . With droll comic timing, unbeatable chemistry, and a zany but relatable cast of characters, Angela Ruth Strong has created a heartfelt look at the reality of modern Christian dating that readers will both resonate with and fall for.

A Country Life

At Home in the English Countryside

By: Roy Strong

Sir Roy Strong and his wife, the designer Julia Trevelyan Oman, have lived in the country for nearly thirty years. In 1987 he was asked to write an occasional column reflecting this quintessentially English way of life for the prestigious magazine A Country Life. This charming book brings these popular pieces together, portraying the passing of the seasons in what the author describes as his 'beloved adopted county' of Herefordshire. A Country Life is a wide-ranging kaleidoscope of memories and observations, embracing the countryside, gardens, cooking, and remembrances of things both long gone and only yesterday. The author writes lyrically of the arrival of the bright green tarragon shoots in spring; of the delights of eating al fresco; of making sorbets from blackberry and quince; of the russet beech hedges in winter and the sweet nostalgia that comes from unpacking Christmas decorations. The keynote of A Country Life is delight--a portrait of life in the English countryside, which seems as old as time itself.
