Brings Puritan Massachusetts to life.
Sarah is a twelve-year-old Puritan girl living in Massachusetts in 1651. She is dreadfully unhappy because she fears her widowed father plans to marry a strict woman who dislikes Sarah and considers her to be poorly behaved. Playing on Sundays is strictly forbidden by the Puritan church. But one Sunday after a snow storm, Sarah and her best friend, Elizabeth (whose parents are considered to be somewhat freethinking for Puritans) can't help themselves, and they start to play in the snow, when they notice someone watching them and flee. Later, Mistress Goddard (Sarah's potential future stepmother) comes forward and announces that she saw Elizabeth and her brother Roger (she thought Sarah was Roger because she had borrowed his coat) broke the rules of the Sabbath. Now Roger will be punished when Sarah is the one who broke the rules. Can Sarah find the courage to come forward with the truth? I highly reccomend this excellant, detailed historical novel.

All Time Favorite
This book about a girl 12 years old in a puritan community and how she lives with her dad and her best friend Elizabeth. I loved this book.

A Very Good book!
This is an excellent book! As soon as I picked it up I couldn't put it down. It was very exciting to read. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes exciting books.

A lifesaver for first time teachers
I recently taught Introductory Psychology for the first time, and this book was a great help in designing my course. For each area of psychology, I chose activities from this book to illustrate key concepts. Every activity that I tried went over well with my students.

Dr. Benjamin has compiled the book every teacher of introductory psychology needs. Full of activities designed to spark interest and understanding of basic psychological concepts. High school students will appreciate the psychology more when they can actively participate. The book will show students psychology as science, not hocus-pocus.

19th Century Film Studies!
This book examines the discourse on domestic labor across the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on how-to manuals, classical Hollywood films, and more recent avant-garde works. The author provides an engaging, sophisticated and well-written history of how we have understood (or, more accurately, obscured) domestic labor as a key component of American national identity. By taking the 19th century into account, the author provides one of the more insightful analyses of American film melodrama and women's cinema. This book is crucial for anyone wanting to understand the role of gender in American modern culture and cinema.

Enchanted Crossings
All three authors outdid themselves. Madeline Baker's "Heart of the Hunter" has captured the essence of time and love once again. You won't be able to put this book down until you finish it!

Ann Avery's "Dream Seeker" was astounding! I have never read her work before and would like to read more of it now. She did a wonderful job of combining the depths of space and love. What a romantic!

Kathleen Morgan's "The Last Gatekeeper" was romance at its best, to say the least! This one was extrodinary in the romantic way a world was saved. You won't want to put this book down!

5 paws - well worth it!
Three stories, one book. I bought it specifically for Fruitcake, because it was the ONE book missing from my Jane Rubino collection. Death of a DJ is out in paperback. Grab this one while you can! It may be the only chance you get, publishers being what they are . . .

5 paws-- Fruitcake, by Jane Rubino: I wasn't disappointed. Fruitcake is far and away worth the cost of the book, all by itself! The second in the Cat Austen series, it is fast paced and delightfully funny.

4 paws -- Milwaukee Winters Can Be Murder, by Kathleen Anne Barrett: An interesting story, and my first by this author. Barrett has an interesting amateur sleuth tale. I knew "who-done-it", but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story in the least.

3 1/2 paws -- A Perfect Time For Murder, by Fred Hunter: Another new author for me, and one I've been intending to pick up for a long time. This is a short story, that for me, introduced characters I'd like to get to know better. Thank you, Fred! I'm a new fan!

Complete instructions to making silk ribbon flowers
I have found this book to be a wonderful source of inspiration - there are dozens of flower varieties to make, each with step by step instructions and templates.

I notice the book is out of print - I have also found the tools and supplies required for this dying art are equally elusive!

Great Resource
This is a great book for use in the classroom. Assessment is one of the most difficult areas of teaching. This book includes step-by-step instructions on how to involve the students in constructing grading rubrics. I have successfully used these strategies in my classroom. There are also black-line assessment forms. This book is first-rate.

For music buffs, Chicagophiles, oh, and mystery lovers!
If you like jazz, Chicago history, or just a good old pager turner mystery, you'll love The Jazz Age Murders. Like a complex jazz riff, the story pulls the reader along a wonderful journey through colorful neighborhoods and quirky characters to a satisfying end. Enjoy!

a fast paced mystery
The characters are all very well definded, Book is fast moving and will keep your interest untill the very end, (hard to put down).

Surrealistic Mystery
This novel which takes place in present day and flashes back to Chicago's Jazz Age of the 20's ties these two frames to a present day murder that some how relates to the past. You'll love Fleming's flare for Chicago's architecture and history. Her discriptive verbage draws you in. A must read.

I really enjoyed it....
You won't want to put it down! A great follow-up to Fleming's Jazz Age Murders. I love her characters - so colorful, especially Jan, the alcoholic, neurotic, and Amanda the controlling sister of the suspected Robby Saxony. Set in the small town of Glen Ayre, the "factory" holds many secrets that are discovered by the detailed and probing Glenda, the sleuth in all Fleming's mysteries.

The prior anonymous review seems suspiciously harsh. I would highly recommend to aspiring writers - or any reader who enjoys mystery novels. Fleming's style is flowing and fun. Read it!

I give this book a 5
What a wonderful read! I could not put the book down. I loved to see the return of her character Glenda. This book reminds me of many Agatha Christy books I read. Ms. Fleming's characters all have such distinct personalities.

It's nice to read a book that doesn't have an obvious ending. I was kept in suspense until the very end!!

Glenda returns
It is so nice to read a book with such fluid style. I've previously read "The Jazz Age Murders" and her short story collection "One Impulsive Black Rose". Like her previous works, I find her characters well rounded and very reminiscent of such greats as, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Dashiell Hammett. I highly recommend this book it is a wonderful, quick read.
