"A luscious, layered story of inheritance, heartbreak, reinvention,
and family. I adored this book." --Kristan Higgins, New York Times
bestselling author When a deed to an apartment in Paris turns up in
an old attic trunk, an estranged mother and daughter must reunite
to uncover the secret life of a family matriarch--perfect for fans
of The Little Paris Bookshop and The Beekeeper's Daughter. Hannah
Bond has always been a bookworm, which is why she fled Florida--and
her unstable, alcoholic mother--for a quiet life leading Jane
Austen-themed tours through the British countryside. But on New
Year's Eve, everything comes crashing down when she arrives back at
her London flat to find her mother, Marla, waiting for her. Marla's
brought two things with her: a black eye from her ex-boyfriend and
an envelope. Its contents? The deed to an apartment in Paris, an
old key, and newspaper clippings about the death of a famous writer
named Andres Armand. Hannah, wary of her mother's motives,
reluctantly agrees to accompany her to Paris, where against all
odds, they discover great-grandma Ivy's apartment frozen in 1940
and covered in dust. Inside the apartment, Hannah and Marla
discover mysterious clues about Ivy's life--including a diary
detailing evenings of drinking and dancing with Hemingway, the
Fitzgeralds, and other iconic expats. Outside, they retrace her
steps through the city in an attempt to understand why she went to
such great lengths to hide her Paris identity from future
generations. A heartwarming and charming saga set in the City of
Lights, Lost in Paris is an unforgettable celebration of family and
the love between a mother and a daughter.

French rule in Syria and Lebanon coincided with the rise of
colonial resistance around the world and with profound social
trauma after World War I. In this tightly argued study, Elizabeth
Thompson shows how Syrians and Lebanese mobilized, like other
colonized peoples, to claim the terms of citizenship enjoyed in the
European metropole. The negotiations between the French and
citizens of the Mandate set the terms of politics for decades after
Syria and Lebanon achieved independence in 1946.
"Colonial Citizens" highlights gender as a central battlefield
upon which the relative rights and obligations of states and
citizens were established. The participants in this struggle
included not only elite nationalists and French rulers, but also
new mass movements of women, workers, youth, and Islamic populists.
The author examines the "gendered battles" fought over France's
paternalistic policies in health, education, labor, and the press.
Two important and enduring political structures issued from these
conflicts:
- First, a colonial welfare state emerged by World War II that
recognized social rights of citizens to health, education, and
labor protection.
- Second, tacit gender pacts were forged first by the French and
then reaffirmed by the nationalist rulers of the independent
states. These gender pacts represented a compromise among male
political rivals, who agreed to exclude and marginalize female
citizens in public life.
This study provides a major contribution to the social
construction of gender in nationalist and postcolonial discourse.
Returning workers, low-ranking religious figures, and most of all,
women to the narrative history of the region -- figures usually
omitted -- "Colonial Citizens" enhances our understanding of the
interwar period in the Middle East, providing needed context for a
better understanding of statebuilding, nationalism, Islam, and
gender since World War II.

New Orleans has always captured our imagination as an exotic
city in its racial ambiguity and pursuit of "les bons temps."
Despite its image as a place apart, the city played a key role in
nineteenth-century America as a site for immigration and pluralism,
the quest for equality, and the centrality of self-making.
In both the literary imagination and the law, creoles of color
navigated life on a shifting color line. As they passed among
various racial categories and through different social spaces, they
filtered for a national audience the meaning of the French
Revolution, the Haitian Revolution of 1804, the Civil War and
Reconstruction, and de jure segregation.
Shirley Thompson offers a moving study of a world defined by
racial and cultural double consciousness. In tracing the
experiences of creoles of color, she illuminates the role ordinary
Americans played in shaping an understanding of identity and
belonging.
As Elizabeth Thompson of Eugene, Oregon sat down daily to study and
pray she intended to write devotionals to share through an internet
venue. What transpired was an accumulation of almost 60,000 words
which describe the heart of the Book of Isaiah, also known as the
"mini-Bible." Her teachings and encouraging applications challenge
women to fearlessly live a life of fullness, embracing vision and
aspirations previously not dared to advance upon.
One day a unicorn named Pokadot notices her painting is missing.

For cooks and collectors everywhere This cookbook is in memory of
our grandmother, Margaret Buell. She was a kindergarten teacher for
25 years and had a passion for cooking which she shared with many
of us. It was very common to walk into her kitchen, find her
looking up from the stove with a twinkle in her eye and throw an
extra unknown ingredient into the pot Grandma loved to cook, and
her home was always open to family and friends and even total
strangers. Her hospitality was well known throughout her home town
of Vermilion OH. It was her desire to have these recipes put into a
cookbook for all to enjoy and it has been our privilege to do so.
