The most important aspect of this book is to tell of the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though we celebrate this event on December 25, I have reason to believe that, He, as the Perfect Lamb of God, was actually born in the spring, as all lambs are born. However, we definitely want to honor His glorious birth, whenever it was! And to invite you to join in with this season of great joy and giving, as God did when He gave us the Greatest Gift of all, His Son, Jesus Christ! This book also contains a variety of other short stories that I trust you will enjoy reading. May God bless you.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER It’s 1893, and at the Chicago World’s Fair, Louis Comfort Tiffany makes his debut with a luminous exhibition of innovative stained-glass windows that he hopes will earn him a place on the international artistic stage. But behind the scenes in his New York studio is the freethinking Clara Driscoll, head of his women’s division, who conceives of and designs nearly all of the iconic leaded-glass lamps for which Tiffany will long be remembered. Never publicly acknowledged, Clara struggles with her desire for artistic recognition and the seemingly insurmountable challenges that she faces as a professional woman. She also yearns for love and companionship, and is devoted in different ways to five men, including Tiffany, who enforces a strict policy: He does not employ married women. Ultimately, Clara must decide what makes her happiest—the professional world of her hands or the personal world of her heart.

A sweeping tale of love and friendship from the bestselling author of The Piano Maker Clara Herzog is a privileged, intelligent, and thoughtful young woman whose world is changed forever when 1930s Vienna is swept up by the dark prelude of the Second World War. The cavalry officer she married in spite of her family's objections is soon called away to the thick of the conflict, and it falls to Clara, as to so many mothers, wives, sisters, and sweethearts through the centuries, to stay at home to provide and protect. Through the war, its aftermath, and into the present, Clara must make choices and take risks that are as heroic and life-altering as any that men make in battle. She is an unforgettable character, and this is an unforgettable novel about family bonds and women's deep friendships, about courage and the love that can endure even in unimaginable times.

Nineteenth-century America witnesses an unprecedented rise in reading activity as a result of increasing literacy, advances in printing and book production, and improvements in transporting printed material. As the act of reading took on new cultural and intellectual significance, American writers had to adjust to changes in their relationship with a growing audience. Calling for a new emphasis on historical analysis, Readers in History reconsiders reader-response and reception approaches to the shifting contexts of reading in nineteenth-century America. James L. Machor and his contirbutors dispute the "essentializing tendency" of much reader-response criticism to date, arguing that reading and the textual construction of audience can best be understood in light of historically specific interpretive practices, ideological frames, and social conditions. Employing a variety of perspectives and methods—including feminism, deconstruction, and cultural criticsim—the essays in this volume demonstrate the importance of historical inquiry for exploring the dynamics of audience engagement.

For decades, the grand manor has been shrouded in rumors of betrayal, tragedy, and murder. Historian Emma Cartwright arrives in Eldridge, drawn by the legends of the Thornton estate, and soon becomes entangled in a web of secrets that have been buried for generations. As Emma explores the neglected estate, she uncovers a hidden diary belonging to Clara Thornton, a member of the prominent Thornton family who met a tragic end. Through Clara’s heart-wrenching letters and journal entries, Emma learns of a forbidden love affair with William Ravenscroft, and the shadowy forces that tore them apart. But the more Emma unearths, the more she realizes that Clara's death was not the result of an accident but a carefully orchestrated betrayal. Emma delves deeper into the family’s dark history, discovering hidden compartments, forgotten letters, and cryptic clues that point to a conspiracy involving financial deceit, love triangles, and secrets that stretch beyond the grave. As the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, Emma finds herself in danger, echoing the same patterns that led to Clara’s demise. The investigation leads to a shocking final revelation that rocks the town of Eldridge and exposes the truth behind the Thornton family's downfall. The story unfolds over multiple episodes, each revealing a new layer of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption as Emma uncovers the whispers of the past that still echo in the present. In the end, Emma must confront the powerful legacy of betrayal that continues to haunt the estate. Whispers from the Past is a gripping mystery that explores how the actions of the past shape the future, and how the search for truth can bring both closure and danger.
