Newbery Honor-winning Jean Fritz highlights one of America's most important founding father. In the days before microphones and TV interviews, getting people to listen to you was not an easy task. But James Madison used his quiet eloquence, intelligence, and passion for unified colonies to help shape the Constitution, steer America through the turmoil of two wars, and ensure that our government, and nation, remained intact. "An excellent, fascinating, indispensable resource." —Kirkus Reviews, pointer review "The book is rich in the sort of detail that illuminates the man, but is not limited to personal information; a great deal of government history is woven into the biography." —Horn Book, starred review "Fritz has given a vivid picture of the man and an equally vivid picture of the problems that faced the leaders of the new nation in the formative years." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children?s Books, starred review "Young readers will feel like they know the 'Great Little Madison' very well." —School Library Journal

As life happen, so does the dynamics of love. The struggle is real. Angela, the preacher’s kid, finds love but in all the wrong places. Lured naively away from college into the strip club by Ishmael, Angela’s understanding of love quickly goes from left to right in a blink of an eye, forcing her to get a taste of what the real world actually has to offer. But Pastor Cedric and Sister Gracie, Angela’s parents, believing strongly in the power of prayer, uses it as a weapon in hopes to bring their daughter back from a destructive and unforeseen pathway. In Where Love Ends... Grace abounds, forces are aggressively at work to kill, steal and destroy everything on its path, including relationships, marriages and dreams, if permitted. But can love win in this spiritual warfare? Or has the damage already been done to all who has become involved.

Madison made history in the sixties. Landmark civil rights laws were passed. Pivotal campus protests were waged. A spring block party turned into a three-night riot. Factor in urban renewal troubles, a bitter battle over efforts to build Frank Lloyd Wright’s Monona Terrace, and the expanding influence of the University of Wisconsin, and the decade assumes legendary status. In this first-ever comprehensive narrative of these issues—plus accounts of everything from politics to public schools, construction to crime, and more—Madison historian Stuart D. Levitan chronicles the birth of modern Madison with style and well-researched substance. This heavily illustrated book also features annotated photographs that document the dramatic changes occurring downtown, on campus, and to the Greenbush neighborhood throughout the decade. Madison in the Sixties is an absorbing account of ten years that changed the city forever.
