Paperback. Etat : Good. A Kansas Notable Book of the Year, 2018 Andrew Carnegie funded fifty-nine public libraries in Kansas in the early 20th century--but it was frontier women who organized waffle suppers, minstrel shows, and women's baseball games to buy books to fill them. Now, a century later, Angelina returns to her father's hometown of New Hope to complete her dissertation on the Carnegie libraries, just as Traci and Gayle arrive in town--Traci as an artist-in-residence at the renovated Carnegie Arts Center and Gayle as a refugee whose neighboring town, Prairie Hill, has just been destroyed by a tornado. The discovery of an old journal inspires the women to create a library and arts center as the first act of rebuilding Prairie Hill after the tornado. As they work together to raise money for the center, Traci reveals her enormous heart, Angelina discovers that problem-solving is more valuable than her PhD, and Gayle demonstrates that courage is not about waiting out a storm but building a future. Full of Kansas history--from pioneer homesteaders to Carrie Nation to orphan trains--To the Stars through Difficulties is a contemporary story of women changing their world, and finding their own voices, powers, and self-esteem in the process. …

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Human beings have always needed angels figures to illuminate our lives and care for us. This anthology offers earthly and celestial angels, who appear in a nurse's uniform or a flash of light, to lift us up towards belief, survival and love. We meet a grandmother whose amazing love is celebrated and even a dog whose tail wagging wakes its adoring owner. Elsewhere, an angelic statue offers a moment of reflection for all who zoom past: I glimpsed our destination in the rear-view glass and in my heartbeat heard the pulse of outspread wings. - from 'The Angel of the North' by Ian Parks Poet Romalyn Ante's lyrical and moving selection explores the many things that 'angel' can mean, in lines which bring beauty and significance fluttering into our lives. Poems by Romalyn Ante, Ellen Bass, Emily Dickinson, Philip Gross, Susan Harris, Ian Parks, Cheryl Pearson, Pascale Petit, Roger Robinson and Joanna Sedgwick. Cover illustration by Sarah Kirby. Includes one poetry pamphlet, envelope and co-ordinating bookmark with space for your own personal message.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A sparkling second poetry collection from the nurse and prizewinning poet, moving between the Philippines and the speaker's adopted England, between myths of the past and the grind of the present-day NHS, asking: how do we keep safe what we hold most dear?this charms the buried light of stars -this deflects bullets - this unblooms a war -In some Filipino clans, parents pass down to each child an agimat, an amulet or charm, in the hope its magic will protect and empower them. In a world of daily pain and loss, Romalyn Ante's second collection asks how do we keep safe what we hold most dear? At the dawn of the pandemic, the poet - a practising nurse in the NHS - is thrown onto the frontlines of the war against COVID-19, and finds herself questioning what it means to fight, and what it takes to heal.Past conflicts swim into the now: when the poet falls in love with a man of Japanese heritage, it forces a reckoning with her family's suffering under Japan's brutal wartime occupation of the Philippines. Elsewhere, we meet the irrepressible, many-breasted goddess Mebuyan, the poet's alter ego. In Philippine myth, Mebuyan nurses the spirits of departed children in the underworld, but here she watches over young people in crisis - a girl who can't stop cutting herself, a teenager who has leapt from a railway viaduct.
