In Cry of Murder on Broadway, Julie Miller shows how a woman's
desperate attempt at murder came to momentarily embody the anger
and anxiety felt by many people at a time of economic and social
upheaval and expanding expectations for equal rights. On the
evening of November 1, 1843, a young household servant named Amelia
Norman attacked Henry Ballard, a prosperous merchant, on the steps
of the new and luxurious Astor House Hotel. Agitated and
distraught, Norman had followed Ballard down Broadway before
confronting him at the door to the hotel. Taking out a folding
knife, she stabbed him, just missing his heart. Ballard survived
the attack, and the trial that followed created a sensation.
Newspapers in New York and beyond followed the case eagerly, and
crowds filled the courtroom every day. The prominent author and
abolitionist Lydia Maria Child championed Norman and later included
her story in her fiction and her writing on women's rights. The
would-be murderer also attracted the support of politicians,
journalists, and legal and moral reformers who saw her story as a
vehicle to change the law as it related to "seduction" and to
advocate for the rights of workers. Cry of Murder on Broadway
describes how New Yorkers, besotted with the drama of the courtroom
and the lurid stories of the penny press, followed the trial for
entertainment. Throughout all this, Norman gained the sympathy of
New Yorkers, in particular the jury, which acquitted her in less
than ten minutes. Miller deftly weaves together Norman's story to
show how, in one violent moment, she expressed all the anger that
the women of the emerging movement for women's rights would soon
express in words.

Read the Introduction
aMeticulously researched, compelling written, Abandoned is a
highly original study of an inexplicably understudied topic: child
abandonment in the nineteenth-century American city. This important
book provides a powerful corrective to excessively romanticized
views of childhood in the past.a
--Steven Mintz, author of "Huckas Raft: A History of American
Childhood"
aFrom Moses to Harry Potter, the stories of abandoned children
have always intrigued us, even when we lack humane responses to
their situation. In this well-written and insightful book, Miller
provides access to the experience of children in the past, as well
as the complex world of public and private charities, municipal
reformers, clergy, and physicians who interacted with them in
nineteenth-century New York City.a
--Joan Jacobs Brumberg, author of "Kansas Charley: The Story of a
19th-Century Boy Murderer"
In the nineteenth century, foundlings--children abandoned by
their desperately poor, typically unmarried mothers, usually
shortly after birth--were commonplace in European society. There
were asylums in every major city to house abandoned babies, and
writers made them the heroes of their fiction, most notably Charles
Dickens's Oliver Twist. In American cities before the Civil War the
situation was different, with foundlings relegated to the poorhouse
instead of institutions designed specifically for their care. By
the eve of the Civil War, New York City in particular had an
epidemic of foundlings on its hands due to the rapid and often
interlinked phenomena of urban development, population growth,
immigration, and mass poverty. Only then did the city'sleaders
begin to worry about the welfare and future of its abandoned
children.
In Abandoned, Julie Miller offers a fascinating, frustrating,
and often heartbreaking history of a once devastating, now
forgotten social problem that wracked Americaas biggest metropolis,
New York City. Filled with anecdotes and personal stories, Miller
traces the shift in attitudes toward foundlings from ignorance,
apathy, and sometimes pity for the children and their mothers to
that of recognition of the problem as a sign of urban moral decline
and in need of systematic intervention. Assistance came from public
officials and religious reformers who constructed four
institutions: the Nursery and Child's Hospital's foundling asylum,
the New York Infant Asylum, the New York Foundling Asylum, and the
public Infant Hospital, located on Randall's Island in the East
River.
Ultimately, the foundling asylums were unable to significantly
improve childrenas lives, and by the early twentieth century, three
out of the four foundling asylums closed, as adoption took the
place of abandonment and foster care took the place of
institutions. Today the word foundling has been largely forgotten.
Fortunately, Abandoned rescues its history from obscurity.
Life or death FBI agent Ash Stryker would never speed-date. But
that’s where he tracks down Claire Molenski, a computer
programmer suspected of selling government information. When he
rescues her from a kidnapping, he realises that she’s innocent,
but also that the only way to protect her is to pose as her
boyfriend. But will the pair survive long enough to find out how
much of an act their relationship is? • Savannah Martell has no
memory of how she ended up next to her womaniser ex-husband's dead
body. Facing too many unanswerable questions, she turns to Connor
Wells. Years ago, their romance burned hot and deep, and even now
their flame still lingers. But when the death count rises and
evidence leads back to Savannah, will Connor still provide an alibi
for the woman he never stopped loving? • Carly Valentine never
expected that she would have to pretend to be someone’s
girlfriend, but when Ivan Mostek’s visit to Kansas City enrages
his fiercest enemies, it’s the only way to keep him safe.
Suddenly, the experienced cop is faced with a mission like none she
has ever trained for. One in which fake feelings could turn into
something all too real.

We often expect to feel God's presence in joyous mountaintop
experiences or when walking through the darkest valley, but we
mustn't forget that God can surely be found in the ordinary moments
of our lives. In this devotional, we seek to inspire you to find
God in your everyday life, whether it's dropping your kids off at
school, waiting in the checkout line at your local grocery store,
or meeting a friend over coffee. Because here's the truth: God
wants to invade every part of our lives, but sometimes, it's just a
matter of us opening our eyes to see his hand moving all around us.
As we journey through this life of ours there will be times when we
are tempted to think we walk alone. Wherever you may find yourself
on the path of life, know that there is a Savior who walks beside
you. He has been scattering little love gifts all along your path
to remind you of His presence. Lift your eyes with me, my friend,
and be reminded of His many journeying mercies.
We are storytellers, and our favorite stories to tell are those
that turn hearts toward God. And while everyone has their own
unique story, it is through the telling of those stories that we
are able to truly experience Him. In the midst of our joys and
fears, hopes and challenges, we can see God there with us. Our hope
is that as you read our stories, and the stories of others, that
you will begin to see God in your story as well, and the role you
play in Whispering God's Grace to others.
