Books with title Mamo on the Mountain

REMEMBERING BLACK SATURDAY There is a fire coming, and we need to move quickly. Mum and Dad start packing bags, grabbing woollen blankets, the first-aid kit, torches, and then the photo albums. Dad puts Ruby on her lead and ties her up near the back door. My chest feels hollow, like a birdcage. Atmospheric and intensely moving, this is the story of a family experiencing a bushfire, its devastating aftermath, and the long process of healing and rebuilding.

Usually, adults understand me when I say, "Jesus really changes your life." They understand better, because they have lived through more experiences and can look back on those experiences with the perspective that God had everything in His hands. He knew what would happen. He knew when it would happen. He even knew the people and circumstances that it would take to get you to where he wanted you.I was taught from a very young age Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." Knowing that verse as a child helped me through many of my trials and hardships.It is quite a process getting to the place where you really begin to truly understand the goal of God is not to harm you; even though it seems like everything is out to take us down, overwhelm, and crush us. The Lord is right there through even the worst of it. His plan is in motion, and what lies in store for every Christian, no matter the denomination, is more beautiful and more glorious than you could ever imagine.Although the story is directed toward children, my goal in this story is to help all people see that God is really and truly working everything for your good. He is making something perfect out of the huge mess. He is taking our lumps of coal and, with a little pressure, turning them into diamonds.

Based on little-known true events, this astonishing account from Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist Jack Ford vividly recreates a treacherous journey toward freedom, a time when the traditions of the Old South still thrived--and is a testament to determination, friendship, and courage . . . Two decades before the Civil War, a middle-class farmer named Samuel Maddox lies on his deathbed. Elsewhere in his Virginia home, a young woman named Kitty knows her life is about to change. She is one of the Maddox family's slaves--and Samuel's biological daughter. When Samuel's wife, Mary, inherits her husband's property, she will own Kitty, too, along with Kitty's three small children. Already in her fifties and with no children of her own, Mary Maddox has struggled to accept her husband's daughter, a strong-willed, confident, educated woman who works in the house and has been treated more like family than slave. After Samuel's death, Mary decides to grant Kitty and her children their freedom, and travels with them to Pennsylvania, where she will file papers declaring Kitty's emancipation. Helped on their perilous flight by Quaker families along the Underground Railroad, they finally reach the free state. But Kitty is not yet safe. Dragged back to Virginia by a gang of slave catchers led by Samuel's own nephew, who is determined to sell her and her children, Kitty takes a defiant step: charging the younger Maddox with kidnapping and assault. On the surface, the move is brave yet hopeless. But Kitty has allies--her former mistress, Mary, and Fanny Withers, a rich and influential socialite, who is persuaded to adopt Kitty's cause and uses her resources and charm to secure a lawyer. The sensational trial that follows will decide the fate of Kitty and her children--and bond three extraordinary yet very different women together in their quest for justice.
