Book Description

Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

Book Description

During a time when young men have a hard time grasping what it means to sacrifice and take care of the family and young ladies have forgotten the art of what it means to take care of a household, raising children, and instilling morals and values in them . . . The Seven Sons and Seven Daughters is a heartwarming tribute that gives the depiction of a strong black woman who loved hard and allowed it to show in her everyday life. It is an epic tale of struggles of an ex-alcoholic father, who-through the grace of God-was able to lay down the bottle and pick up salvation and a new determination on life. It is the story of strength, adversity, spirituality, and growth, laced with the pain and tragedy of death and life after death. The Seven Sons and Seven Daughters is a gentle reminder of the days when blacks had little to no rights, with little to no resources to do much to better self and how a little Mississippi family found the strength to overcome every obstacle that was placed before them. In a day and age where technology has taken over the world, where children would rather stay in the house and play video games than to play in the park or play a good game of tag or freeze football. During an era where little girls don't see the joy in playing with Barbie's or playing dress up, in their mother's old clothes.

Book Description

The national bestseller that reveals how we are descended from seven prehistoric women. In 1994 Bryan Sykes was called in as an expert to examine the frozen remains of a man trapped in glacial ice in northern Italy for over 5000 years—the Ice Man. Sykes succeeded in extracting DNA from the Ice Man, but even more important, writes Science News, was his "ability to directly link that DNA to Europeans living today." In this groundbreaking book, Sykes reveals how the identification of a particular strand of DNA that passes unbroken through the maternal line allows scientists to trace our genetic makeup all the way back to prehistoric times—to seven primeval women, the "seven daughters of Eve."

Book Description

This full-color, illustrated companion novel to The Cats of Tanglewood Forest includes "beautiful bookmaking, lovely storytelling, and wondrous illustrations....Readers will be enchanted" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). This captivating adventure from two masters of modern fantasy is a story of magic, family, and the power in believing in both. Sarah Jane has always wanted to meet a fairy, but she has no idea that the tiny wounded man she discovers in the Tanglewood Forest is about to ensnare her in a longtime war between rival magical clans. When her six sisters are kidnapped and split up by the opposing sides, she'll need the help of several friends--from the reclusive Aunt Lillian to the mysterious Apple Tree Man--to bring them home. But if they don't untangle themselves from the feud quickly, they could all be trapped in the fairy world forever. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly noted "the lyrical narrative blends a contemporary setting with a fairy tale that might have been plucked from a distinctly different time and place.

Book Description

The 'Seven Daughters' represent the daughter - to-daughter maternal line that begins in 1766 with my 5th great grandmother, Henrietta Perrill Caliman. From Henrietta to my mother, Joyce Hilton Bransford Byrd, is a seven generation journey of colonial America for families of color; enslaved and free! Each daughter's life frames another generation and another period in the building of America. Births, marriages, letters, photographs, wars, epidemics, and pioneer migrations mirror the history of our families against the backdrop of our nation's growth. They were teachers, soldiers, farmers, activists and visionaries whose lives span 350-years of love, sacrifice, perseverance and committment to generations to come. Its the amazing collection of personal stories that is uniquely American that depict one son's journey of discovery and hope.
