Sources Of Light

BY MARGARET MCMULLAN
It's 1962, a year after the death of Sam's father--he was a war hero--and Sam and her mother must move, along with their very liberal views, to Jackson, Mississippi, her father's conservative hometown. Needless to say, they don't quite fit in. People like the McLemores fear that Sam, her mother, and her mother's artist friend, Perry, are in the South to "agitate" and to shake up the dividing lines between black and white and blur it all to grey. As racial injustices ensue--sit-ins and run-ins with secret white supremacists--Sam learns to focus with her camera lens to bring forth the social injustice out of the darkness and into the light.

The Highest Frontier

BY JOAN SLONCZEWSKI
One of the most respected writers of hard SF, it has been more than ten years since Quaker Joan Slonczewski's last novel. Now she returns with a spectacular tour de force of the college of the future, in orbit. Jennifer Ramos Kennedy, a girl from a rich and politically influential family (a distant relation descended from the famous Kennedy clan), whose twin brother has died in an accident and left her bereft, is about to enter her freshman year at Frontera College. The world that Jenny is living in is one of the most fascinating and creative in contemporary SF, and the problems Jenny faces will involve every reader, young and old.

Emma Field Book One

BY CAROL WILLIAMS
Emma Field has dreams and desires that call her to go beyond her father's struggle to survive as an immigrant in a Quaker community in 1840's Canada. "Emma lived in a quiet world. Most of the sounds and all of the colors came from nature. She absorbed them like moss absorbing a spring rain. Emma Field - daughter of Jeremiah and the late Josephine, child of the land, child of a Methodist and Quaker community swept by the winds of Lake Ontario - knew where she belonged. The circles of her life were clearly defined. That gave her comfort. It also filled her with fear." an excerpt from the book.
