Book Description

This engaging historical novel introduces the reader to the viscount, Lord James Winthrop, known as 'Win' to friends and family and the charming young lady he falls passionately in love with, Miss Josephine Chambers. Lord Winthrop's parents, The Earl and Countess, are vehemently opposed to the relationship between their son, who is the heir to Winthrop Manor, and Josephine, who is not of the aristocracy. Win and Josephine solve their dilemma when England declares war against Germany by eloping to Gretna Green before Win enlists in the military. After surviving numerous battles and the horrific gassing by the Germans, Win eventually finds himself in a POW camp. Josephine gives birth to a cherished son, while praying for Win's safe return. As she struggles with the heartache of a husband who is missing in action, her infant son, Andrew, disappears. Josephine strongly suspects that a vile member of the Winthrop family has concocted a scheme to kidnap the child.

Book Description

Mr. Wilson's account of the settlement of Long Island by the Dutch and English demands more description than we can give here. The author divides his subject into thirteen chapters, of which eight are devoted to the era of settlement and colonization, treating of the early Dutch pioneers and the Puritan contingent headed by Lyon Gardiner. No other part of this broad land has a more picturesque history than Long Island. In reading the same, one is struck by the thrilling tales, brought forward from the times when the Indians had possession until the present time. No one would think that but a short time back it was only small villages and the scene of battles that have brought it prominently into the history of this great country. All over the island are important landmarks that interest thoughtful students and all true patriotic citizens . Mr. Wilson has exerted himself to make his book read well and to fascinate the reader. Long Island is now the suburban residence of many New York millionaires, who recognize its great value and love its beautiful scenery and refreshing, health-giving breezes . All New York and many inland States have made it the greatest summer resort in the United States and to its beautiful shores hasten millions of people annually.

Book Description

"A touching, charming tale of love won and lost and won again. . . . Brings the Regency period to vivid life." —Julianna Deering, author of the Drew Farthering Mysteries Years ago, the man who stole Catherine Winthrop's heart rejected her--and she's never recovered from the grief. Now tragedy has brought him back into her life. This time it isn't her heart he's taking, it’s her home and her family's good name. Jonathan Carlew's serious demeanor and connection to trade, not to mention the rumors surrounding his birth, have kept him from being a favorite of the ladies, or their parents. Now, suddenly landed and titled, he finds himself with plenty of prospects. But his demanding society responsibilities keep pressing him into service to the one woman who captured his heart long ago--and then ran off with it. These two broken hearts must decide whether their painful past and bitter present will be all they can share, or if forgiveness can provide a path to freedom for the future. Set in the sumptuous salons of Bath, Regency England's royal breeding ground for gossip, Winning Miss Winthrop is the first volume in the Regency Brides: A Promise of Hope series. Fans of the wholesome and richly drawn first series won't want to miss this new set of characters--or appearances by their old favorites. "Fans of Christian Regency romances by Sarah Ladd, Sarah Eden, and Michelle Griep will adore Carolyn Miller's books!" --Dawn Crandall, award-winning author of The Everstone Chronicles

Book Description

In Search of the City on a Hill challenges the widespread assumption that Americans have always used this potent metaphor to define their national identity. It demonstrates that America's 'redeemer myth' owes more to nineteenth- and twentieth-century reinventions of the Puritans than to the colonists' own conceptions of divine election. It reconstructs the complete story of 'the city on a hill' from its Puritan origins to the present day for the first time. From John Winthrop's 1630 'Model of Christian Charity' and the history books of the nineteenth century to the metaphor's sudden prominence in the 1960s and Reagan's skillful incorporation of it into his rhetoric in the 80s, 'the city on a hill' has had a complex history: this history reveals much about received notions of American exceptionalism, America's identity as a Christian nation, and the impact of America's civil religion. The conclusion considers the current status of 'the city on a hill' and summarizes what this story of national myth eclipsing biblical metaphor teaches us about the evolution of America's identity.
