"Sassy" the Face of Courage
Author: Thomas A. Bowen
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595004768
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
She was fifteen, and had dreams of a vocation and a family. Suddenly the breadth and depth of cancer shattered that dream. But this girl purposed in her heart to face the unknown. Little did she know who all would come to help her become a woman of courage. It didn’t seem possible that this girl could be a champion while the machines gave her life. The first challenge was the side effects of chemotherapy, but the bigger challenge was an infection. Nurses, doctors, chaplains, parents, and many friends took turns keeping this champion alive in PICU. Learning to talk, write, and walk again was a new and bigger challenge. There were the therapists, child life specialists, schoolteachers, and awesome nurses who came to help this young champion. Throwing the stuffed cow at the doctors was not only therapy, it was fun. Then a special gospel singer by the name of Karen Wheaton put a vision into Sassy. If God had called her to this challenge, she would walk worthily of that calling.

The Colors of Courage
Author: Margaret S Creighton
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0786722061
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Gettysburg has been written about and studied in great detail over the last 140 years, but there are still many participants whose experiences have been overlooked. In augmenting this incomplete history, Margaret Creighton presents a new look at the decisive battle through the eyes of Gettysburg's women, immigrant soldiers, and African Americans. An academic with a superb flair for storytelling, Creighton draws on memoirs, letters, diaries, and newspapers to get to the hearts of her subjects. Mag Palm, a free black woman living with her family outside of town on Cemetery Ridge, was understandably threatened by the arrival of Lee's Confederate Army; slavers had tried to capture her three years before. Carl Schurz, a political exile who had fled Germany after the failed 1848 revolution, brought a deeply held fervor for abolitionism to the Union Army. Sadie Bushman, a nine-year-old cabinetmaker's daughter, was commandeered by a Union doctor to assist at a field hospital. In telling the stories of these and a dozen other participants, Margaret Creighton has written a stunningly fluid work of original history -- a narrative that is sure to redefine the Civil War's most essential battle.
