Twelve-year-old Betsy waves a tearful goodbye to her family as the
wagon takes her away from her Massachusetts farm. The money she
will earn as Nyes' hired girl should help pay her family's passage
to the Ohio frontier next year. But when she arrives in Marietta,
all her plans fall apart. First her job and expected wages are at
risk, and then her carefully collected savings goes missing. There
are dangerous thieves on the loose in Marietta, but Betsy knows her
Good Shepherd is watching over her. So why does she have those
shivers of fear?
The Shawnee Indians raided Limestone once. Settlers fear they will
return. More and more settlers are coming to Limestone, but who is
this stranger called Jefferson, and can he be trusted? Joshua
Stewart struggles as he gets ready to help his pa fight the
Indians, but what if they include the very Shawnees he has come to
love? When the militia is forced to march to Blue Licks, Pa and
Joshua join them and run into unexpected danger. Will the journey
end in disaster, and will Dr. Strong's Wonder Tonic reach Grandma
Sarah in time?
Settlers fear the Shawnee Indians at Chillicothe. Joshua is about
to learn why. For Joshua Stewart and his family, the Kentucky
frontier is their promised land. It's a fresh start away from the
difficulties of Virginia. It's an opportunity to own as much land
as they care to claim. It's a chance of a lifetime, a dream come
true. The only problem is getting there. Will the Stewarts overcome
the hardships that await them in the mountains of Pennsylvania?
Will they survive the dangers of the Ohio River? And when the
Shawnee Indians attack, will Joshua's faith in the Lord be enough
to save him?
Who is the Jaguars' mysterious shortstop? Danny Walker is one of the best players his team has; in fact, his adoptive parents and sister consider him a shoo-in for the shortstop position on the All-Star team. But that was before Tammy Aiken, the opposition's new "hot dog" shortstop, showed up. Danny has a sinking feeling the new-comer is as good as he is -- a feeling her stats back up. And yet something besides her threatening to steal the All-Star spot from him is bothering him. The more he watches her, the more he becomes convinced that he's seen her -- or someone just like her -- play before. Why does Tammy seem so familiar?
Teaching is a richly multifaceted endeavor. It isn't always easy to
know just where we should focus our thinking and our dialogue. In
Speaking of Teaching, six educators talk about their inner selves.
They bring the inside out for their own self-exploration. And they
bring the inside out for us to view and learn from. They also
question the boundaries between the inner and the outer and whether
existence can be dichotomized in this way. Gary Poole, Professor,
Faculty of Medicine, The University of British Columbia, 3M
Teaching Fellow. The authors of this collection explore the many
ways to remain present in the midst of the trifling but perpetual
swirl of events, thoughts, distractions, and how they, as they are
at, what T. S. Eliot called, the still point of the turning world,
find profound meaning in their work as educators. A deeply moving
collection that allowed me too, while reading it, to rediscover
that still point without which there would be no dance, and there
is only the dance. Gerda Wever, PhD, editor and publisher, The
Write Room Press
