When her father leaves and mother becomes ill, a girl is sent to
live with a distant relative where she learns some hard life
lessons. The girl encounters both good and bad people, but
maintains her Christian values. Ellen Montgomery's life drastically
changes when she's forced to move in with her estranged Aunt
Fortune. The environment is cold and oppressive, a stark comparison
to her mother's comforting home. Despite the changes, Ellen
explores her new community making several friends along the way. As
the years pass, she experiences sickness, death and eventually
love. She uses her faith to guide her through many unexpected
trials and tribulations. Ellen's story is a testament to a person's
ability to stay kind and optimistic no matter the circumstance. The
Wide, Wide World was Susan Warner's first and biggest commercial
success. It is considered a fixture in the domestic genre
showcasing the growing pains of womanhood. Aside from Uncle Tom's
Cabin, Warner's was one of the most circulated novels of its time.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Wide, Wide World is both modern and
readable.

This book confronts readers with questions emerging from the 'gap'
between EU aspirations to reduce youth unemployment without
increasing social exclusion - and what is actually happening in
practice. Aimed at a diverse readership, it is based on a three
year European Union (EU) project into education, training, guidance
and employment (ETG) programmes for young adults across six
countries. Insights are grounded in the lives and stories of
disadvantaged young adults, and of those who work with them,
bringing to life unintended impacts of well intended interventions.
The authors consider the influence of shifting political and
pedagogical ideologies in the EU on local practices and young
peoples' lives and choices. They also consider the impact of policy
and performance management discourses 'on the ground'. This work
uses rigorous yet innovative narrative forms to invite readers into
a 'whole system' inquiry into these complexities. Unemployed Youth
and Social Exclusion in Europe will make an important contribution
to reflecting critically on current policy and practice, as well as
to academic understandings of unemployed youth, and restrictive and
reflexive approaches to learning for inclusion across Europe.
