Modern day Snow White (who also happens to be a lottory winner) finds herself in a cabin -- that's later inhabited by eight men (the elves) who were out fishing when she arrived. There is one particular elf that makes snow white's toes curl...

This book will make you smile, laugh and touch your heart!

While this book is a take-off on the classic Snow White, it's a fairytale for grown ups with some class act characters and a rich and rewarding love story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and look forward to more of Ms. Sinclair's works.

This book convinced me of the importance of recognizing one's gifts -- and just as importantly, owning up to them, instead of dismissing them with false notions of modesty -- and then finding the best way of giving those gifts back to God and the community. I realized that gifts and talents left undeveloped and unexpressed lead to frustration and unhappiness; and that pursuing the development of one's gifts is holy work. That may sound self-absorbed, but it's actually the opposite; it's a matter of opening oneself up to allow God to work through your life. This book is out of print, so whenever I see a copy at a used bookstore I buy one and pass it along. Let this book change your life, too!

Elizabeth O'Connor's insights and prophesies are a must reading for Christians in an age that has lost it's way. She makes the case for discovering and using the gifts of God, in a way that no other modern christian writer has been able to do. Every serious christian pilgrim and christian community should read and heed the author's admonitions and advice. Elizabeth O'Connor makes a serious argument that no one on the christian journey should proceed without first discovering, claiming, and employing their spiritual gifts. Her prescription for this dicovery, claiming, and employment of one's gifts is classic. Read the book. It will change your life and the lives of those in whose love you live.

This is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. Stanton was a 19th century women's rights activist who had a complex, rationalist personal theology that changed and evolved thoughout her lifetime. This book reveals this theology, her weaknesses, and her. Recomendo este livro altamente!!!!!!

Reading the book not only helped me to understand the political and legal environment for women during Ms. Stanton's life, but also helped me to understand Ms. Stanton as a person and her inner drive for equality. Her narrative provides us with stories to illustrate her passion for justice and her perservance in working toward the woman's vote. We get a picture of the territories and the states during those early times as she stuggles to get to places by means that would seem alien to us now.

Ms. Stanton demonstrates that her partnership with Susan B. Anthony was inevitable as their strengths complimented each other to help them fulfill their work toward equality. Although neither women lived to see the amendment pass, there are no signs of regret for all the years of dedication. We know she knows it will happen. Through her reality, we share the frustrations, the angers, the joys, and the triumphs.

I liked knowing Ms. Stanton had written the book and feel I got to know her courage, wit, and character by reading it. I highly recommend the book.

A boy named Matt is left alone in Maine Woods. His father has left him to go and get his new baby sister. The really cool things happen when a boy is left in the woods with Indians. Matt and an Indian meet and the book get really good. I think that the best thing in this book is the relationship and the way it changes. They start out as true enemies, but weird events in this story make the relationship grow. The amazing part is the reactions that Attean (the Indian) has. Also the stories he tells. This is a great book with a really great plot and very fun to read. I really enjoyed it.

This book is one of the best books I have ever read.Its got sadness,happiness,and most of all this book has a lot of adventure.Its about a 12 year old boy who has to live on his own in the wilderness of Maine.He meets Indians and learns there way of living.

While I had read about the triangular relationship between Duke and Duchess of Devonshire and Lady Elizabeth Foster, nick-named Bess, I never realized that Bess had such colorful life. The authors use letters and other historical documents to present Bess in a more positive way, than previously recorded. It is a fascinating biography.

Excellent book on the lives of two amazing women sharing the same man. Highly recommend it if you like reading about 'ton' society in late 18th-early 19th century England.

This book combines humor and wit with lessons appropriate for all ages. The author is able to paint a clear picture of the joys of being friends with people who are different. The illustrations are fabulous, and you will want to read this book many times over.

Our entire family loves this book. It is a wonderful tale of friendship and love (And a little bit of comedy too ^_^). We read and re-read this warm fuzzy book all the time. We would recommend this book to anyone!

This is a beautifully written book, and very readable. Having read a lot about the history of the period I already knew how fiercely the widow Custer guarded her husband's reputation and how much she did to enhance it. Unlike many female authors might do, however, Leckie does not judge Libby by modern standards, but puts her in the context of her time. She also touches on the possibility that remaining Autie's widow may have been far more liberating for her, in her times, than it would have been to become Mrs. Someone else. During her husband's lifetime she lived in his shadow, but after his death she was able to use that connection to become an author and lecturer in her own right. She also left an estate valued at over $300,000, after her husband had managed only to put them into debt. Having read her memoirs like Boots and Saddles and Tenting on the Plains, it was clear that Mrs.Custer never gave much insite into her true feelings. Nothing seemed to upset her except a criticism of her husband. Inspite of this, though, Leckie does manage to make her into a real person. I found her epilogue truly moving, and I came away with an understanding of an historical character, whom up to this point, I hadn't much cared for.

Sometimes, it's not how good you are, but how good your P.R. is that determines your reputation. And in the case of the (in)famous U.S. cavalry commander George Armstrong Custer, the P.R. was definitely good. Immediately after Custer's death (along with 200+ of his troops in what was, and arguably still is, the worst battle loss ever suffered by U.S. forces), his widow, Libbie Bacon Custer, began a propaganda campaign designed to secure her beloved husband's place in history. Unfortunately for history, she succeeded far too well. This book, a biography of Custer's widow, gives real insight into how she manipulated the media available to her in order to glorify her husband--or to be more accurate, to glorify her idealized portrait of her husband. Had Libbie not done her work so well, Custer would have been only a footnote in American History. In addition to providing a valuable supplement to the historical record concerning Custer, Ms. Leckie's book paints a masterly portrait of an exceptional woman, which is well worth the time of readers with little interest in Custer

Camille Roman's ELIZABETH BISHOP'S WORLD WAR II - COLD WAR VIEW opens up intriguing new ways to understand this great poet.

Taking a cultural studies approach, Roman shines a bright light on Bishop's life and poems. She argues that Bishop was alienated from aspects of mainstream American culture--its militarism and social injustices. She shows that Bishop was a far more politically-engaged poet than one might think. The interpretation of such poems as "Roosters," "View of the Capitol from the Library of Congress," and "12 O'Clock News" are eye-opening and thought-provoking.

This is now an essential book for anyone interested in the ways Elizabeth Bishop's poems intersect with American cultural and political history.

This is an in-depth and insightful chronicling of Elizabeth Bishop's life and work during the "war years" and immediately following. Particularly interesting to me were portions of letters quoted and particulars regarding situations which were current at the time. Further, I am most pleased to see some recognition of a woman as a serious contender in the field of contemporary American literature. We should, as well, consider that the author of this work is a woman writing about a woman.

This is an extraordinarily informative and gripping account of Elizabeth Blackwell's unlikely rise to prominence in the field of medicine in the 19th century. The portrayals of Dr. Blackwell and her contemporaries and friends--Stowe, Nightingale--are drawn with unusual vividness, as are the many and often seemingly insurmountable obstacles that beset Blackwell at every turn. I was amazed at how much ground Glimm covered, and all in a clear, well-organized and brisk-paced narrative. I am certain that girls and boys alike will find this account of Blackwell's heroic--really triumphant--life inspiring and delightful.

An excellently written biography for young people sets the life of Elizabeth Blackwell against its historical backdrop using photographs, engravings, and sidebars with nuggets of information that clarify the era. This first woman doctor's struggle to achieve her life's dream within that period of history so harsh and prejudicial to women and primitive in terms of medical teaching and practice is brought vividly to life by the informative illustration, accessible historical perspective, and visual design of the book. It should be very useful to help young students understand the history of both women and medicine in the 19th century.

Loved the book! A wonderful collection of the many antics of our feline friends. A very warm and heartfelt recounting of everyday cat occurances, their wonderful personalities, the intimate interactions between themselves and their human companions. I would highly recommend this book to any and all animal lovers!

"Beautifully illustrated, poignant and humorous-"Elizabeth Cat" is a must for every feline fanatic." So says best-selling author, Barnaby Conrad.

"Elizabeth Cat" is a collection of small moments, remembered in tender detail, of the eighteen year friendship between author-illustrator Maggie Leonard and her cat, Elizabeth, who profoundly affected her life.

Elizabeth and her daughters, Star and Lala, are delightful company, each in their dignified, good-humored way. It is the remarkable recounting of moments of their lives by Maggie Leonard that will alter forever your observations for cats.

"Elizabeth Cat," a humorous and touching account of love and relationships.
