Book Description
A novel based on the life of Ellen Breakell Neibaur, a Victorian-era pioneer who, despite unending trials, kept trekking forward. Ellen has made the most reprehensible choice of her life and must abide by the consequences. But when strange dreams lead her and Alexander, the Prussian dentist, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she wonders if there might be a measure of hope for her-if she works hard enough. Persecution, sacrifice, and loss flood her life like the River Ribble in a squall, and Ellen must decide if love and faith are worth losing everything she's ever known. From the industrial town of Preston, England to Nauvoo and, finally, Salt Lake City, Ellen and her ever-growing family seek a place where they are free to live and worship in peace.

Worn
Author: Ellen Sampson
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350087181
Category : Crafts & Hobbies
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
In a culture preoccupied with newness and a fashion system predicated upon it, what is our attachment to clothes which are marked through use and why do they have the power to affect us so deeply? How are our relationships to footwear produced and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing, maintenance and repair? Through a focus on a single garment, the shoe, this book seeks to explore broader questions about the embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn. Originating in an experimental practice-based methodology which placed wearing at its centre, the project is extended through the author's practice of making, wearing and photographing shoes. The book presents the act of wearing as a tool for developing knowledge, of 'being in' or 'being with' rather than observing from the outside, and calls readers to reconsider the value of the marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and interest in damaged garments quietly increases.
