Sarah Mathloma England, the mother of two small children, was living in the Philippines in 1920 when she was abandoned by her husband, who suffered from undiagnosed schizophrenia. Left behind in Manila with a young son and daughter, Sarah Mathloma found work as a teacher. She soon rose to become the first woman principal of a Filipino high school in a country where free public education was not yet the norm. As World War Two broke out in the South Pacific, she sent both her children to live with relatives in the U.S. Imprisoned by the Japanese for the duration of the war, Sarah Mathoma survived cancer, the constant threat of brutality, and a starvation diet. Drawing on historic documents, personal journals, and eyewitness accounts, Sally Brown (Sarah Mathloma's daughter) weaves this past into a tapestry that becomes a testament to the survival of the human spirit. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the unfolding Twentieth Century, Sarah Mathloma is the story of a remarkably modern woman-a feminist before feminism. About the author: Sally Brown grew up in the Philippines with her mother and younger brother. She is also the co-author, with her husband David, of A Biography of Mrs. Marty Mann: The First Lady of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Martha Palmer, the generous benefactor of Palmer House--a most extraordinary refuge for young women rescued from prostitution--has died. Denver society turns out in strength to honor the elderly woman, as do many of the young women who have lived, at some point during the past decade, under the roof of Palmer House and under the steady and godly leadership of Rose Thoresen.For Sarah Ellinger, Rose's trusted right hand, an invitation to the reading of Martha's will raises the possibility--and the fervent hope--that Martha has endowed Palmer House with funds to keep the ministry running. However, Sarah expects to receive nothing from Martha for herself. She is as stunned as every Palmer House girl present at the reading to hear: "To every young woman who lives or has lived at Palmer House and remains unmarried at the time of the reading of this will, I bequeath the sum of five hundred dollars as a bridal gift, payable upon her marriage. To those girls who have already married, I bestow the same amount, payable upon the execution of this will. If, however, a young woman who has lived at Palmer House remains unmarried, I bequeath the same sum, five hundred dollars, payable upon her thirty-ninth birthday."Five hundred dollars was a fortune many a Palmer House girl would never, in her lifetime, see again in a lump sum; it could enable a newly married couple to begin their marriage debt-free, perhaps buy a little piece of land or leverage a mortgage to purchase a home.While the girls of Palmer House, current and former, wept and rejoiced aloud, Sarah did not. She slowly shook her head.Oh, Martha. You left me a wonderful gift, for which I am most grateful. However, I cannot claim this gift unless I marry--or until I am quite near middle-aged. Why, Martha? Why did you arrange your generous bequest this way? I shall not be able to claim your gift for nearly eleven years . . . because I will never marry, whatever the inducement to do so.Girls from the Mountain Book 1: Tabitha Book 2: Tory Book 3: Sarah Redeemed

"When one looks at a portrait by Sarah Brokke, it's like meeting someone you've dreamt about--her paintings are at once familiar and fantastic--a step removed from our own reality. Brokke works in partnership with her subjects to honor their spirit and celebrate both the individual and the larger world in which they operate."--Annie Dugan, Director, Duluth Art InstituteThis series was developed with the intent that she would paint each person as a symbol of gratitude and acknowledgement.Sarah Brokke teaches modern art history, painting, and drawing at the College of St. Scholastica and drawing and painting at the Duluth Art Institute.

"McClanahan's prose is miasmic, dizzying, repetitive. A rushing river of words that reflects the chaos and humanity of the place from which he hails. He writes in an elliptical fever dream so contagious that slowing down is not an option. It would be like putting a doorstop in front of a speeding train. This is not a book you savor. It is one you inhale." -The New York Times"Part memoir, part hillbilly history, part dream, McClanahan embraces humanity with all its grit, writing tenderly of criminals and outcasts, family and the blood ties that bind us."--Interview Magazine"McClanahan's prose is miasmic, dizzying, repetitive. A rushing river of words that reflects the chaos and humanity of the place from which he hails. McClanahan] aims to lasso the moon... He is not a writer of halfmeasures. The man has purpose. This is his symphony, every note designed to resonate, to linger."--New York Times Book ReviewThe Sarah Book is Scott McClanahan's continuation of the semi-autobiographical portrait he's been writing over the years about his life in West Virginia. This one is his portrait of love.Scott McClanahan is the author of Hill William, Crapalachia, The Incantations of Daniel Johnson and many more.

Sarah Crowner: Patterns
Primary Information
2018

American painter Sarah Crowner (born 1974) revisits the art historical legacy of abstract painting in a language of collage and domestic craft, piecing together gorgeous geometric abstractions and vibrant color fields out of stitched-together cloth fragments of different colors. "It's a way of creating form by joining material," Crowner says of her process. "They are really objects more than paintings."Sarah Crowner: Patterns is the second artist's book in a series that Crowner has been developing around the formal aspects of her painting practice; the first was 2012's Format. In this publication, Crowner devotes her attention to patterns from a range of sources: from those found in nature and the built environment to fashion and the plastic arts. Juxtaposed throughout this selection are images from Crowner's recent work, specifically her recent paintings, murals and tiled floors.
Sarah Hatton's fifth book featuring Rowan yarns, this book is all about feeling snuggly. Patterns include matching teapot and mug warmers, fluffy house cardigans, slippers, chunky cushions, and soft throw blankets to wrap yourself in during the cold winter months.
