Book Description
If an entire nation could seek its freedom, why not a girl? As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight...for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom. From acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling, impeccably researched novel that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains, both physical and spiritual.

Book Description
This book is the physical edition of a series of posts from Reddit's r/nosleep subreddit, containing the first major storyline of "How to Survive Camping". It is largely unaltered, with only minor edits for readability in print form. Every year, campground manager Kate sends out a pamphlet titled "How to Survive Your Camping Experience." In it is a list of rules to help campers have an enjoyable experience and hopefully survive any encounters with the campground's... other... inhabitants. With the campground in the throes of a 'bad year', it'll take a lot more than a list of rules to keep everyone safe. Monsters that were previously dormant are starting to stir and they're waking up hungry. Among them is the Lady in Chains, a creature feared by both human and inhuman thing alike. Her reappearance creates an upheaval in the balance of power in the campground by renewing an old grudge with the harvesters, who are willing to sacrifice anyone they get their hands on in order to gain an advantage. On top of all this, the man with the skull cup has started taking an unusual interest in Kate. But with the harvesters on the prowl, the Lady in Chains hunting her down, and a sinister spider infestation, Kate is going to need all the allies she can get, even if those allies aren't actually... human.

Book Description
Woman In Chains is a true inspirational story of how a life can be transformed from the darkness into the light of the sun. From the first chapter "With Eyes Wide Open", the story begins at the 1888 entrance gates of the park. Julia becomes more conscious and aware of the control and disrespect that her husband George has put on her, for the last 17 years. Nothing changes in her life if nothing changes. She can no longer live in a life of his deceit, cheating and lies. She decides to follow her heart. "This moving memoir is a riveting account of her personal transformation as she went through the painful process of leaving her loveless marriage. It is an inspiration to anyone trapped in a situation they feel powerless to change.' -Balboa Press
Author: Venetria K. Patton Publisher: State University of New York Press ISBN: 1438415613 Category : Literary Criticism Languages : en Pages : 214
Book Description
2000CHOICEOutstanding Academic Title Using writers such as Harriet Wilson, Frances E. W. Harper, Pauline Hopkins, Toni Morrison, Sherley Anne Williams, and Gayl Jones, the author highlights recurring themes and the various responses of black women writers to the issues of race and gender. Time and again these writers link slavery with motherhood—their depictions of black womanhood are tied to the effects of slavery and represented through the black mother. Patton shows that both the image others have of black women as well as black women's own self image is framed and influenced by the history of slavery. This history would have us believe that female slaves were mere breeders and not mothers. However, Patton uses the mother figure as a tool to create an intriguing interdisciplinary literary analysis.
