The girls will stay at each other's homes, attend school together, and record their experience in their journals. Catherine and her family have a beautiful home with plenty of space. Since Ivy June's house is crowded, she lives with her grandparents. Her Pappa works in the coal mines supporting four generations of kinfolk. Ivy June can't wait until he leaves that mine forever and retires. As the girls get closer, they discover they're more alike than different, especially when they face the terror of not knowing what's happening to those they love most.

Faith In Action

Quaker Social Testimony

ESSAYS BY JONATHAN DALE AND OTHERS
Where do we stand on lived witness, on social testimony? Both in the essay by Jonathan Dale and the short contributions from many Friends, we get a glimpse at other people's experience of the living truth. As Jonathan Dale says, "The more the Light is followed, the deeper the joy and the readier we may be for the next step." This book will inspire readers to think about how we live out our testimonies in our lives, develop a culture of mutual accountability, and share the lessons from our journeys. When we say God is love, the integrity of our claim is known by the degree to which it is lived out in our lives.

Gerda Lerner, the modern biographer of the Grimke sisters, has here revistied her work of thirty years in light of her own increased knowledge and of more recent scholarship. Conisting of Grimkes essays, letters to journals and to contemporaries, and Lerner's lucid analysis, this book considers Grimke's work in the context of the long history of women's intellectual history.

Portraits From Death Row

BY LOU JONES AND LORIE SAVEL-BORGES

A silent pall fell over the small group. Few had ever looked in the face of a human being who was destined to be killed, purposely, with premeditation, on an hour and day certain. Now we looked at the faces." - Gerry Spence. A startling and illuminating document.
