Vividly evoking a small mid-west town during the Great Depression and World War II, Ellen and the Barber introduces us to three strong and surprising young women and the men in their lives: Ellen, who has no good reason to deny her natural instincts; Miriam, torn between the promise of a loving future and the demands of family and home; and Vera, whose intelligence and restless hunger for life plunges her into disaster. Around these three vibrant women, O’Rourke has created a town so real and convincing that the listener experiences a sense of déjà vu. Through dust storms and drought, economic depression and the lingering demise of small farming, Prohibition and the war that took its young men, the town and its people let us live and laugh and sometimes cry with them.
“By narrating rather than dramatizing, Woods lets the subtlety and rich texture of the writing hold center stage…She sets a strong pace, parsing through long and complex (but elegant) sentences with a care and expression that does justice to the author’s style and guides the listener well.”—AudioFile
Emily Dickinson today has gaining her deserved place alongside Walt Whitman as one of the two greatest American poets of the nineteenth century. Beginning always with particulars of personal experience, her poems encompass life and death, love and longing, joyfulness and sorrow. With sparse, precise language, she conveyed a penetrating vision of the natural world and an acute understanding of the most profound human truths.
The poems included in this collection are grouped by three time periods, 1890, 1891, and 1896, and by the subjects of life, love, nature, and time and eternity.
"If there were ever a poet whose work begged to be heard, it would be Dickinson."-Library Journal

At the same time, it is deeply practical. The ideas have been tried and proven true by Susan and her husband Ranald Macaulay in their own family and school experience.For the Children's Sake is a book that can help every parent and teacher awaken the young minds of their children and give them a new richness, stability, and joy for living.
