Book Description
Michael and Betta Dubinsky have recently moved to Canada from war-torn Galicia. They do their best to engage with the culture, but have a hard time letting go of their own traditional values. They try to impress their Ukrainian ideals upon their children, David and Alina, but find that they are becoming more ‘Canadian’ as they get older and increasingly distanced from their Eastern European roots. While Michael and Betta get used to their new lives, Canadian Alice Reilly must deal with her own struggles. She hasn’t had contact with several of her siblings since they were separated as children, but her search for them becomes even more difficult when she marries Peter Evans and moves to Wales. Alice struggles to stay positive for the sake of her children, but when her mother-in-law’s neglect and abuse becomes too much, she takes her children, May and Roy, back to Canada. Now fully-grown, Alina and Roy attend the same university where they quickly fall in love. But can their culturally opposed families set aside their differences and embrace their children’s love?

Book Description
For thousands of young British girls, the influx of Canadian soldiers conscripted to Britain during the Second World War meant throngs of handsome young men. The result was over 48,000 marriages to Canadian soldiers alone, and a mass emigration of British women to North America and around the world in the 1940’s. For many brides, the decision to leave their family and home to move to a country thousands of miles away with a man they hardly knew brought forth ensuing happiness. For others, the outcome was much different, and the darker side of the story reveals the infidelity, domestic violence, poverty, alcoholism and divorce that many lived through. War Brides draws on original archival documents, personal correspondence, and key first hand accounts to tell the amazing story of the War Brides in their own words-and shows the love, passion, tragedy and spirit of adventure of thousand of British women.

Book Description
Two Boys from Hitchins: A Historical Fiction captures the life and times of rural Carter County. Edward and Paul Isaacs, born at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the bustling depot village known as Hitchins, Kentucky, at the close of the Depression period. Times were hard. The hills and hollers were the young boys’ playground. Edward and his brother, Paul, were dreamers, both failing in school. Seeking adventure and success, they left home at an early age, Paul at thirteen, then Edward followed later at the age of fifteen. They set out on adventures reminiscent of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation and determination. With the right timing seizing an opportunity, they found success in an unlikely city when they became associated with a giant corporation and incredibly influential people—a far cry from their birthplace, achieving success beyond their wildest dreams, only to be torn apart by a scheming, malevolent outsider.

Book Description
How do fashion designers design? How does design function within the industry? How can design practices open up sustainable pathways for fashion's future? Designing Fashion's Future responds to these questions to offer a fresh understanding of design practices within the sprawling, shifting fashion system. Fashion design is typically viewed as the rarefied practice of elite professionals, or else as a single stage within the apparel value chain. Alice Payne shows how design needn't be reduced to a set of decisions by a designer or design team, but can instead be examined as a process, object, or agent that shapes fashion's material and symbolic worlds. Designing Fashion's Future draws on more than 50 interviews with industry professionals based in Australia, Asia, North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. These diverse perspectives from multinational retailers, independent and experimental contexts ground the discussion in contemporary industry practices.
