Epic romantic drama based on Margaret Mitchell's Pulitzer-winning
novel set during the American Civil War. Southern belle Scarlett
O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) often uses men to get what she wants, but is
unable to get the one man she truly desires, Ashley Wilkes (Leslie
Howard). She soon meets her match in the roguish Captain Rhett
Butler (Clark Gable) and in the war itself which destroys the
genteel way of life she has always known. With determination she
rebuilds her life from the shattered remains the Union Army leaves
behind. Despite its sometimes troubled production (director George
Cukor was replaced by Victor Fleming, with Sam Wood brought in when
Fleming's health failed), the film won ten Oscars, including Best
Picture, Best Director and Best Actress.

A young fundamentalist Mormon girl facing a forced marriage escapes
her strict, polygamist community and comes of age in the tumultuous
1960s in this captivating novel inspired by shockingly true events.
Keep sweet no matter what, for this is the way to be lifted up Keep
sweet with every breath, for it is a matter of life or death 1964.
Fifteen-year-old Daisy Shoemaker dreams of life beyond her small,
isolated fundamentalist Mormon community of Redemption on the
Canada--US border--despite Bishop Thorsen's warning that the
outside world is full of sin. According to the Principle, the only
way to enter the celestial kingdom is through plural marriage.
While the boys are taught to work in the lucrative sawmill that
supports their enclave, Daisy and her best friend, Brighten, are
instructed to keep sweet and wait for Placement--the day the bishop
will choose a husband for them. But Daisy wants to be more than a
sister-wife and a mother. So when she is placed with a man forty
years her senior, she makes the daring decision to flee Redemption.
Years later, Daisy has a job and a group of trustworthy friends.
Emboldened by the ideas of the feminist and counterculture
movements, she is freer than she has ever been...until Brighten
reaches out with a cry for help and Daisy's past comes hurtling
back. But to save the women she left behind, Daisy must risk her
newfound independence and return to Redemption, where hellfire
surely awaits. For readers of Emma Cline's The Girls and Ami
McKay's The Virgin Cure comes an arresting coming-of-age novel
about a fearless young girl's fight for freedom at a time of great
historic change.
With her mother gone and her father out of her life, when Annie
Culligan loses her Grandma Emma, she loses her entire family. With
nothing to hold her in tiny Mt. Gilead, Ohio, she heads west to
Nevada City, California, with her grandmother's worn leather
suitcase and fresh new teaching credentials in hand. Renting a room
from a gentle widow, she ventures into a new life and finds
friendship and a feeling of family that she thought she'd lost.
As a first-year science teacher, Annie gives much more to her
students than an education-she gives them acceptance and respect.
Even as her friendship with school psychologist Tom Phillips begins
to blossom, a painful, long-suppressed secret from her past
threatens to devastate her newfound joy. Will Annie confront and
overcome the shadows that have followed her throughout her
life?
The answer will depend on her willingness to forgive and to
trust God with her future-a lesson that will stretch her to her
very limits. Lessons is a celebration of the truth that when we are
willing to let go of the hurt and resentment we so often harbor in
our hearts, God is free to pour joy into the void.

Owens' fascinating study explores the personality and behavior of
the slave within the context of what it meant to be a slave. Based
on a variety of plantation records, diaries, slave narratives,
travelers' accounts, and other items bearing on the slave's
experiences in his relationships to slaveholders, it concentrates
on the years between 1770 and 1865.
