It's about keeping the faith. Growing up poor in 1953 in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia doesn't bother Lydia Hawkins. She treasures her tight-knit family. There's her loving mama, now widowed; her whip-smart younger brother BJ, who has cystic fibrosis; and wise old Gran. But everything falls apart after Gran and BJ die and Mama is jailed unjustly. Suddenly Lydia has lost all those dearest to her. Moving to a coal camp to live with her uncle William and aunt Ethel Mae only makes Lydia feel more alone. She is ridiculed at her new school for her outgrown homemade clothes and the way she talks, and for what the kids believe her mama did. And to make matters worse, she discovers that her uncle has been keeping a family secret—about her. If only Lydia, with her resilient spirit and determination, could find a way to clear her mother's name. . . .

A Second Home

Missouri's Early Schools

By: Sue Thomas

The one-room schoolhouse may be a thing of the past, but it is the foundation on which modern education rests. Sue Thomas now traces the progress of early education in Missouri, demonstrating how important early schools were in taming the frontier. A Second Home offers an in-depth and entertaining look at education in the days when pioneers had to postpone schooling for their children until they could provide shelter for their families and clear their fields for crops, while well-to-do families employed tutors or sent their children back east. Thomas tells of the earliest known English school at the Ramsay settlement near Cape Girardeau, then of the opening of a handful of schools around the time of the Louisiana Purchase—such as Benjamin Johnson’s school on Sandy Creek, Christopher Schewe’s school for boys when St. Louis was still a village, and the Ste. Genevieve Academy, where poor and Indian children were taught free of charge. She describes how, as communities grew, additional private schools opened—including “dame schools,” denominational schools, and subscription schools—until public education came into its own in the 1850s. Drawing on oral histories collected throughout the state, as well as private diaries and archival research, the book is full of firsthand accounts of what education once was like—including descriptions of the furnishings, teaching methods, and school-day activities in one-room log schools. It also includes the experiences of former slaves and free blacks following the Civil War when they were newly entitled to public education, with discussions of the contributions of John Berry Meachum, James Milton Turner, and other African American leaders. With its remembrances of simpler times, A Second Home tells of community gatherings in country schools and events such as taffy pulls and spelling bees, and offers tales of stern teachers, student pranks, and schoolyard games. Accompanying illustrations illuminate family and school life in the colonial, territorial, early statehood, and post-Civil War periods. For readers who recall older family members’ accounts or who are simply fascinated by the past, this is a book that will conjure images of a bygone time while opening a new window on Missouri history.

Wedding for a Knight

By: Sue-Ellen Welfonder

An Archival Journey through the Qatar Peninsula

Elusive and Precarious

By: Sue-Ann Harding

This book retrieves from the archives people, places and perspectives normally overlooked to tell an original and expansive history of the Qatar Peninsula, paying close attention to landscape and the natural world. The arc of the book moves geographically through the landscape and chronologically through selected sources, drawing on digitised maps, manuscripts, hydrographic surveys, government records, traveller accounts, early photographs, archaeological and ethnographic reports. While these are standard sources recruited by Qatar to tell its own singular, streamlined history, this book is a subversive reading of those sources. It braids together elusive and precarious stories – difficult to find, at risk of being lost, and never before brought together into a single volume – to write a more complicated story of place. Through them, we can reimagine a place that, like many in the world, works hard to control a limited set of stories about itself. Readers who know something about Qatar will be surprised by the book’s nuances and details. Readers who know little or nothing will be drawn in to discover that, even in the most out-of-the-way and inhospitable places, deserts are never empty.

Booming Bursts of Bloated Balloons at the Baiting Beach

A Collection of ‘Crispy’ Poems, Vol. 1-3

By: Sue Kappa

Sue Kappa (real name Peter Atakuma Agbodza) utilizes the free verse style to enable the poetry platform to establish its image as a redeemer that allows for grievances, unshed tears and inner desires to be poured out. Here, he knits together a kaleidoscopic tapestry of mood and style in the treatment of such themes as ‘pushing away old age’; slavery; racism; deceit; the abuse of public office; nostalgia; suspicion; anxiety; jauntiness; love; gossip; belligerence; youthful irrationality and foolhardiness; globalization and the destruction of nature, among others. He crafts a unique blend of style which range from the town-crier mood which employs rants on the streets unrestrained, registering protest, complaints and reservations, somber reflections in the prayer/supplication mood of meditation and the uninhibited show of appreciation and joy in a cheerful, chatty tone. In this three-in-one volume collection of poems christened Booming Bursts of Bloated Balloons ...at the Baiting Beach (Vol. 1-3) following two collections, The Song That is Stuck...in My Throat (Vol.1-3), and (Vol. 4-6) (also by Xlibris), Kappa brings to life ideas, observations and human acts that do not easily occur to us as lively subjects or serious matters to engage our curious attention. He thus succeeds in stirring our imagination riot about the possibility of everything around us including the ones we easily ignore and the taken-for-granted aspects of our daily lives’ interactions serving as subject matter for a poem. And in this deep-fry style of going deep into subjects treated, he is able to tickle us to laughter and hilarity, and make us reflect on our own lives. Sometimes, it gets so close as though Kappa had just been hiding behind, watching us.

Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World

By: Benjamin S. Arbuckle,Sue Ann McCarty

Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World explores the current trends in the social archaeology of human-animal relationships, focusing on the ways in which animals are used to structure, create, support, and even deconstruct social inequalities. The authors provide a global range of case studies from both New and Old World archaeology—a royal Aztec dog burial, the monumental horse tombs of Central Asia, and the ceremonial macaw cages of ancient Mexico among them. They explore the complex relationships between people and animals in social, economic, political, and ritual contexts, incorporating animal remains from archaeological sites with artifacts, texts, and iconography to develop their interpretations. Animals and Inequality in the Ancient World presents new data and interpretations that reveal the role of animals, their products, and their symbolism in structuring social inequalities in the ancient world. The volume will be of interest to archaeologists, especially zooarchaeologists, and classical scholars of pre-modern civilizations and societies.

Elements of Nonfiction Storytelling

By: Sue Hertz

Developing nonfiction writers at any stage of their career Write Choices: Elements of Nonfiction Storytelling helps writers cultivate their nonfiction storytelling skills by exploring the universal decisions writers confront when crafting any kind of factual narrative. Rather than isolating various forms of narrative nonfiction into categories or genres, Sue Hertz focuses on examining the common choices all true storytellers encounter, whether they are writing memoir, literary journalism, personal essays, or travel essays. And since today’s writers are no longer confined to paper, Write Choices also includes digital storytelling options, and how writers can employ technology to enhance their narratives. Integrating not only her own insights and experience as a journalist, nonfiction book author, and writing instructor, but also those of other established nonfiction storytellers, both print and digital, Hertz aims to guide writers through key decisions to tell the best story possible. Blending how-to instruction with illuminating examples and commentaries drawn from original interviews with master storytellers, Write Choices is a valuable resource for all nonfiction writers, from essayists to memoirists to literary journalists, at any stage of their career.

Lady of the Seven Suns

A Novel of the Woman Saint Francis Called Brother

By: Tinney Sue Heath

A powerful noblewoman or a humble follower of the holy man from Assisi? Giacoma cannot possibly be both. Or can she? Rome, 1210. After tragedy shatters Giacoma’s world, Francesco intervenes to save her sanity, her life, and her soul. She owes him everything. Her gratitude is boundless – but now she must thread her way between duty and faith, always striving to be worthy of Francesco’s affectionate name for her: “Brother Giacoma.” She's no longer locked into the power struggle among Rome’s noble families, but she can't turn her back on her sons, her household, and Rome’s poorest citizens who depend on her charity. The brothers’ life of sacred poverty, begging for their daily bread, is not for her. But neither is she destined for Clare’s cloister. A new path, as yet unexplored and unsignposted, lies ahead for Giacoma dei Settesoli, and she will have to invent it as she goes. Based on the life of a real woman, this is the story of a stubborn quest for grace. If you like strong women of the past who insist on making their own way in a patriarchal society, you’ll love Lady of the Seven Suns.

Ghost in Time

A Crime over a Hundred Years Old Resurfaces Along with an Explosive Discovery...

By: Sue Gilbert

While on a vacation in England, Caitlin O’Connor finds an antique journal. Soon after she returns to the States, she adapts the journal’s handwritten notes into a movie script and submits it to Piermont Studios. The studio gives the work a green light and she is hired and now pursues her dream as a screenwriter. Piermont decides to cover the movie studio and hires an investigator to trace the journal’s history. After a shocking turn of events, the journal is revealed to be over a hundred years old, and it is believed that it was indeed written by none other than the fictionalized detective Sherlock Holmes’s friend and assistant, Dr. John Watson. The enigmatic Arthur Kensington is the movie’s new producer. Kensington believes the yellow-tinged leather book is a link to a hidden past that reveals a century old crime. Tony Langdon is the Piermont security detective in charge of investigating the journal’s origin. Although, at first a skeptic, he becomes absorbed with his own analysis and his need to know the truth. After the movie wraps, the actors, crew, and other involved individuals begin to believe in Caitlin’s mysterious journal. As truths are unveiled, it seems the so called fictional Watson, and the mysterious tale is genuine and tied to a dangerous and cryptic cover up in the distant past.

Impermanence

Life and Loss on Superior's South Shore

By: Sue Leaf

A personal journey through the ever-changing natural and cultural history of Lake Superior’s South Shore Lake Superior’s South Shore is as malleable as it is enduring, its red sandstone cliffs, clay bluffs, and golden sand beaches reshaped by winds and water from season to season—and sometimes from one hour to the next. Generations of people have inhabited the South Shore, harvesting the forests and fish, mining copper, altering the land for pleasure and profit, for better or worse. In Impermanence, author Sue Leaf explores the natural and human histories that make the South Shore what it is, from the gritty port city of Superior, Wisconsin, to the shipping locks at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. For Leaf, what began as a bicycling adventure on the coast of Lake Superior in 1977 turned into a lifelong connection with the area, and her experience, not least as owner of a rustic cabin on a rapidly eroding lakeside cliff, imbues these essays with a passionate sense of place and an abiding curiosity about its past and precarious future. As waves slowly consume the shoreline where her family has spent countless summers, Leaf is forced to confront the complexity of loving a place that all too quickly is being reclaimed by the great lake. Impermanence is a journey through the South Shore’s story, from the early days of the Anishinaabe and fur traders through the heyday of commercial fishing, lumber camps, and copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula to the awakening of the Northland to the perils and consequences of plundering its natural splendor. Noting the geological, ecological, and cultural features of each stop on her tour along the South Shore, Leaf writes about the restoration of the heavily touristed Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to its pristine conditions, even as Lake Superior maintains its allure for ice fishers, kayakers, and long-distance swimmers. She describes efforts to protect the endangered piping plover and to preserve the diverse sand dunes on the Michigan coast, and she observes the slough that supports rare intact wild rice beds central to Anishinaabe culture. Part memoir, part travelogue, part natural and cultural history, Leaf’s love letter to Lake Superior’s South Shore is an invitation to see this liminal world in all its seasons and guises, to appreciate its ageless, ever-changing wonders and intimate charms.

My Desk is Driving Me Crazy

End Overwhelm, Do Less, and Accomplish More

By: Sue Rasmussen

“This book will inspire calm, clarity, and pure business sanity . . . for absolutely every worried, exhausted and beautiful entrepreneur that you know” (Tama Kieves, bestselling author of Inspired & Unstoppable). Entrepreneurs are smart, confident, good at what they do, and help their clients get amazing results. Oftentimes they are busy, stressed, and overwhelmed which holds them back from the success and the difference they really want to make. Traditional time-management approaches encourage entrepreneurs to speed up, fit more in, and be more efficient—so they can cross everything off their to-do list. However, they don’t stop to consider that maybe they shouldn’t be trying to do everything on their to-do list in the first place. When you’re overwhelmed or too busy, focusing on getting more done isn’t the answer. So what is the answer? In My Desk is Driving Me Crazy you’ll discover how to easily sort through what is important and what isn’t—and let the unimportant things go—so you can put your energy on what truly matters to you instead, with ease and clarity. “A generous work of inspiration . . . Shows us how to find and follow our own kind of simplicity out of the chaos we create. This funny, friendly, smart book is not just about your desk . . . it’s about clearing your head in anything you do.” —Barbara Sher, New York Times–bestselling author of It’s Only Too Late If You Don’t Start Now “An enjoyable and accessible guide to clearing the inner and outer clutter that gets in the way of the life for which you’re longing.” —Kimberly Schneider, M.Ed., JD, LPC, author of Everything You Need Is Right Here

Sustaining Social Work

Between Power and Powerlessness

By: Robbie Duschinsky,Sue Lampitt,Susan Bell

Social work is a profession under strain, and practitioners report finding the role increasingly challenging. What can sustain social work in these times? How can social workers sustain themselves in the role? How can they derive confidence and meaning from what they do? In addressing these questions, Sustaining Social Work is a source of understanding and support for professionals struggling with the tensions of practice. Accessible and engaging , it explores the fallout that results from social workers experiencing these tensions, including feelings of powerlessness, responsibility, optimism and cynicism. Drawing on ideas from social theory and the social sciences, it puts forward a model of sustainable social work that will help practitioners not just cope but flourish – even in the context of ongoing crises. An enlightening, uplifting read in a difficult and uncertain time for the profession, Sustaining Social Work addresses the challenge of finding sustenance and consolation within day-to-day practice, enriching it beyond the short-term.

One Hundred Doses

Capsules of Advice and Wisdom for the Health and Well-being of Farm and Ranch Women

By: Teddy Jones,Sue Jane Sullivan

Farm and ranch women are the heart of an important American institution, agriculture. Their strength is a critical resource for their families and communities. This book offers those women their own special prescription for health and well-being in one hundred small doses. Some “capsules” remind of care to be taken daily, some to be taken regularly, others to take as needed, several to give to family and friends and still more to apply to the community. Reading this book won’t make you immediately “feel good” like a warm beverage or a serving of your mother’s best meal. It won’t always bring a tear of nostalgia to the eye or a longing for the good old days. But like a good tonic, these capsules of advice and encouragement will stimulate you. You’ll find essays that will boost your morale. Others will prompt you to be grateful. Several instruct about health matters. And some will even make you laugh. There’s no better prescription than that, is there? TEDDY JONES, R.N., Ph.D., is a Family Nurse Practitioner. Before she and her husband began farming his family’s land near Friona, Texas, she was a Professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Nursing, in Lubbock, Texas. Growing up in a rural town in central North Texas, she spent lots of happy times with cousins on their families’ wheat and dairy farms. Those experiences and her admiration for those who farm and ranch prompted her to develop and teach elective courses in Rural Health Nursing. That same interest spurred her to develop the concept for her health promotion column, “In The Middle Of It All,” which appears monthly in “The Farmer Stockman.” She practices part-time as a Nurse Practitioner in New Mexico and writes when she’s not helping with the farm work. SUE JANE SULLIVAN, B.S.Ed., teaches in the only school in the only town in Borden County, Texas. That rural school is not far from the area where she grew up, surrounded by ranches, farms and oil wells. Like most people in farming and ranching areas, she can and does fill many roles. She teaches English, Spanish, history and government and coaches Interscholastic League literary events including debate, journalism, and spelling. She’s a free-lance newspaper writer and her newsletter, “A New Song,” is a regular source of encouragement for the special group of friends for whom she publishes it. A major inspiration for her work is her maternal grandmother who was widowed at 41, during the Great Depression. She managed to keep and operate the family farm and raise five children long before the term single parent was invented.

Louisiana

By: Betty Jane Allen,Martha Sue Smith

Louisiana was founded in 1818, and by 1866 it was the 12th largest city in Missouri. The city's proximity to the Mississippi River fostered lumber, tobacco, and agriculture industries and lured river captains and others whose commerce depended on the river. In 1873, another form of transit bolstered the city with the construction of the Chicago & Alton Railroad Bridge. The third bridge built across the Mississippi, it remains in use today. Pardee College, founded in Louisiana, became McCune College in 1881 and closed in 1895. Funded by Andrew Carnegie, the Louisiana Public Library opened in 1905. Louisiana has been home to famous people, silent movie stars, a governor, a senator, a Carpathia passenger, and many others. The natural beauty of the city's setting remains and Southern hospitality continues.

Fire in the Sea

An Anthology of Poetry and Art

By: Sue Brown Cowing

This imaginative and colorful collection of more than 150 poems contains work by poets from many Pacific lands as well as from Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The poems were gathered especially but not exclusively for young readers. Most were written in English, but a few were translated from their original languages. Unlike conventional anthologies, Fire in the Sea places the rich traditional and contemporary poetry of Hawai‘i and the Pacific (often overlooked by anthologists) alongside better-known works from the East and West. Selected works of art from the collections of the Honolulu Academy of Arts accompany the poems.

A Book of Bees

By: Sue Hubbell

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Book of Bees

By: Sue Hubbell

A New York Times Notable Book: “A melodious mix of memoir, nature journal, and beekeeping manual” (Kirkus Reviews). Weaving a vivid portrait of her own life and her bees’ lives, author Sue Hubbell lovingly describes the ins and outs of beekeeping on her small Missouri farm, where the end of one honey season is the start of the next. With three hundred hives, Hubbell stays busy year-round tending to the bees and harvesting their honey, a process that is as personally demanding as it is rewarding. Exploring the progression of both the author and the hive through the seasons, this is “a book about bees to be sure, but it is also about other things: the important difference between loneliness and solitude; the seasonal rhythms inherent in rural living; the achievement of independence; the accommodating of oneself to nature” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Beautifully written and full of exquisitely rendered details, it is a tribute to Hubbell’s wild hilltop in the Ozarks and of the joys of living a complex life in a simple place.
