Book Description
Here are twelve of Houselander's best tales, charmingly illustrated with Renee George's lively drawings of pirates and princesses, castles and kings. Through the tale of Jack and Jim, even young children will grasp the meaning of Christ's suffering; in Racla the Gypsy, they'll discover the charity which is at the heart of the Eucharist; in the The Cure's Guest, they'll see how Christ makes up for the sins of others. Other stories touch on other Catholic themes, but these tales are not really catechetical. Yes, they do take, for granted that Catholicism plays a large role in the lives of these children, especially prayer and the Mass. But they do something more ... and more important. Tale after tale introduces children to the tender love that Jesus has for each of them, and to the fire of love for Him that can burn in the heart of Catholics -- even in the hearts of little ones like themselves.

Book Description
“All Souls is the written equivalent of an Irish wake, where revelers dance and sing the dead person’s praises. In that same style, the book leavens tragedy with dashes of humor but preserves the heartbreaking details.”—The New York Times Book Review A 25th anniversary edition of the National Bestselling memoir, with a new afterword from Michael Patrick MacDonald, takes us deep into the South Boston housing projects during one of the city's most tumultuous times in history and tells the story of his family struggling the overcome the poverty, crime, addiction, and incarceration that overtook the neighborhood. A breakaway bestseller since its first printing, All Souls takes us deep into Michael Patrick MacDonald’s Southie, the proudly insular neighborhood with the highest concentration of white poverty in America. Rocked by Whitey Bulger’s crime schemes and busing riots, MacDonald’s Southie is populated by sharply hewn characters. We meet Ma, Michael’s mini-skirted, accordian-playing, single mother who endures the deaths of four of her eleven children. And there are Michael’s older siblings Davey, sweet artist-dreamer; Kevin, child genius of scam; and Frankie, Golden Gloves boxer and neighborhood hero whose lives are high-wire acts played out in a world of poverty and pride. Nearly suffocated by his grief and his community’s code of silence, MacDonald tells his family story here with gritty but moving honesty. All Souls is heartbreaking testimony to lives lost too early, and the story of how a place so filled with pain could still be “the best place in the world.”

When Serena Cassidy travels to Virginia to attend the 110th anniversary of Longworth College, she expects little more than an interesting trip and a chance to honor the memory of her parents, who had died the year before and had loved the college which was their alma mater. She wants to find out more about Serena Longworth, the founder’s wife, who was a great friend to her parents and after whom they had named her. Also, she hopes to relieve some of her loneliness and grief and to have a respite from her uncomfortable recent lifestyle and job. But when she suddenly finds herself in 1908, she has no idea how she got there. And even as she begins to feel that this place and era are where she really belongs, and wonders if she is actually Serena Longworth, she questions how she can ever explain her strange presence to the much-too-attractive founder, Trenton Longworth, and his sister, Constance, with whom she comes to feel she could have a new family.
