Said the Professor's wife, taking pity on her pale face; would you like a book?If it isn't a moral book, said Patty, in a dreary tone, and then she turned very red.

Caroline Healy Dall (1822-1912) was a Transcendentalist who fought tirelessly for women's rights. She was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and benefited from her family's encouragement and funding of her continued education. In 1844, she married a Unitarian minister, Charles Dall. The pair moved to Toronto, but then back to Boston so that Caroline could raise their children while Charles went to Calcutta, India for missionary activities. While Caroline was in Boston, she became very active in the local Women's Rights movement, and organized the New England Women's Rights Convention. She worked closely with fellow suffragist Paulina Davis, and on developing a complimentary journal, Una. While she wrote a great deal on a whole variety of topics, she emphasized women's rights, and transcendentalism. This particular work is semi-autobiographical, as Dall tells of her experiences growing up during the period of slavery in the United States. Through her stories, some of the horrors of slavery and deeply ingrained racism are revealed. This new edition is dedicated to the women of All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington.

As the train approached Paris, he looked through the window and noticed how bright the sky was.He was no longer a boy. He was now a young man. His heart beat faster as the train entered the streets of Paris. He was far away from home. But then, "home" was gone. Everything that used to be home was gone. The war had taken it all. In the past few weeks, he finally understood that his mother, father, and sister were never coming back. That his beloved grandmother was gone, and so was his grandfather, as well as each and every member of his extended family, dozens of them. Apart from one uncle, he had no family left.The train slowed down as it entered the station. He saw many people on the platform, excitedly waiting for their loved ones.No one was waiting for him.He picked up his valise. He was hoping to start anew here. He was hoping to forget all that his eyes had seen. To forget the darkness.He was hopeful. A new day was dawning.*Two years earlier he had run through the forest at night. Finally, in the early morning, behind the snow covered trees, he saw the house. He remembered this house well. In his childhood, before the war, he had spent many happy summer days in this small house and the cabins near it. His grandmother owned this place with all its cabins. She had entrusted the management to a woman who used to be, many years before, the family maid.He looked at the house through the trees. It was dawn. He decided he'd wait. Soon the maid's husband would set out for work. And their three teenage daughters would most likely go to school. Then he'd go and ask the maid to hide him. Just for the day. Then, at night, he'd run away. If she could only hide him for the day! He kept waiting in the woods. Then, glancing right and left, he quickly ran toward the house.He knocked on the door, looking constantly behind him.* * * *END OF EXCERPT (To read further click on the book cover, where you can read more using the Look Inside Feature!)
