In this work, Midwest History Project amplifies the true story of an American family who arrives in Wisconsin in 1848 with their enslaver. Charles and Caroline Shepard are young adults when they cross the American wilderness in covered wagons and assume their sovereignty. The land they come to has just been taken from Ho Chunk, Osakiwug and Meskwaki nations; in 1804, the Americans secure 50 million acres of Indigenous Land - Wisconsin territory - for $2,234.50 plus $1,000/year every year thereafter. While persecution and displacement of the Indigenous Peoples is a movement of loss and retreat, the land offers possibility for families like the Shepards who escape slavery's bondage and gain a foothold in the young American economy. Remarkably, a collection of Shepard family letters have been preserved by a Wisconsin university. Illuminating these letters, Midwest History Project centers the Shepard correspondence in their own words and within a fusion of American experience, including slavery's system. The experience of enslavement is entwined with the experience of the enslaver. In American history, the slaver narrative is frequently misrepresented or erased. In this work, Midwest History Project, uncovers misinformation about the slaver who owns the Shepards and produces first-hand accounts from people who knew him. These accounts beg the question; why did Wisconsin re-write the history of the slaver? And, fundamentally, who is afraid to know the truth of American slavery or the persecution of Indigenous People and why has it been rewritten? I Have Walked One Mile After Dark in a Hard Rain concentrates the Shepard experience across a landscape of generations and American intersections. Threads of influence occurring in the 1700's directly impact these Americans who find themselves crossing young states and new territories. The lives of these people affect our present day. Events and decisions from 1830-1870 create this American inheritance. A question remains for us today - how will we remember our uncelebrated American ancestors and will we truthfully preserve their memory for future generations?
National BestsellerFeaturing a foreword by Billy Corgan"JT LeRoy's masterful imagination, command of story, and easy sense of the mythological are a rare combination that demands attention." -- Toronto StarSarah never admits that she's his mother, but the beautiful boy has watched her survive as a "lot lizard" a prostitute working the West Virginia truck stops. Desperate to win her love, he decides to surpass her as the best and most famous lot lizard ever. With his own leather mini-skirt and a makeup bag that closes with Velcro, the young "Cherry Vanilla" embarks on a journey through the Appalachian wilds, dining on transcendental cuisine, supplicating to the mystical Jackalope, encountering the most terrifying of pimps, walking on water, being venerated as an innocent girl saint--and then being denounced as the devil.By turns exhilarating and shocking, magical and realistic, Sarah brings urgency, wit, and imagination to an unknown and unforgettable world.

By the time he returns she is much more mature and has her flying license. Their love quickly blossoms, but it is 1938 and war threatens everything. They know that they will have to part, but they take a giant leap of faith and get married. Separately they face horrendous dangers. Their heroic efforts for the allied cause do not go unnoticed. Will Sarah's strength and fortitude save them both in the end?
From the prizewinning Jewish Lives series, a riveting portrait of the great Sarah Bernhardt from acclaimed writer Robert Gottlieb Everything about Sarah Bernhardt is fascinating, from her obscure birth to her glorious career—redefining the very nature of her art—to her amazing (and highly public) romantic life to her indomitable spirit. Well into her seventies, after the amputation of her leg, she was performing under bombardment for soldiers during World War I, as well as crisscrossing America on her ninth American tour. Her family was also a source of curiosity: the mother she adored and who scorned her; her two half-sisters, who died young after lives of dissipation; and most of all, her son, Maurice, whom she worshiped and raised as an aristocrat, in the style appropriate to his presumed father, the Belgian Prince de Ligne. Only once did they quarrel—over the Dreyfus Affair. Maurice was a right-wing snob; Sarah, always proud of her Jewish heritage, was a passionate Dreyfusard and Zolaist. Though the Bernhardt literature is vast, Gottlieb’s Sarah is the first English-language biography to appear in decades. Brilliantly, it tracks the trajectory through which an illegitimate—and scandalous—daughter of a courtesan transformed herself into the most famous actress who ever lived, and into a national icon, a symbol of France. About Jewish Lives: Jewish Lives is a prizewinning series of interpretative biography designed to explore the many facets of Jewish identity. Individual volumes illuminate the imprint of Jewish figures upon literature, religion, philosophy, politics, cultural and economic life, and the arts and sciences. Subjects are paired with authors to elicit lively, deeply informed books that explore the range and depth of the Jewish experience from antiquity to the present. In 2014, the Jewish Book Council named Jewish Lives the winner of its Jewish Book of the Year Award, the first series ever to receive this award. More praise for Jewish Lives: "Excellent." –New York Times "Exemplary." –Wall Street Journal "Distinguished." –New Yorker "Superb." –The Guardian

He is successful, moving far from his earlier background. Yet, dark times overwhelm him and when the light again comes, he finds that he must sacrifice everything to find what his heart desires most, Sarah.
Sarah, the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac in Genesis, is a central biblical character because of her role in the establishment of the people later called Israel. In recent years, the image of Sarah has not fared well in scholarship where she is depicted as petty, indulgent, self-absorbed, and the oppressor of Hagar. This study examines Sarah and her role in Genesis to understand how women function in the biblical text, how the biblical writers constructed women's roles, and how this impacts a modern reading of the Hebrew Bible.

Sarah is the detailed case history of a UCLA undergraduate, written by a UCLA psychology professor. It is a unique case of psychological survival. Despite vicious sexual abuse, Sarah has managed to adapt, survive, and grow.Balancing the intense emotional impact of Sarah's first-person account, Dr. Abramson's commentary is interpolated throughout the record of Sarah's life. Sarah's story was obtained from seven months of interviewing, plus her diaries, drawings, family photographs, and four years of follow-ups, correspondence, and observations. This book is significant in that it documents psychological resolution in the face of endless abuse and trauma. Dr. Abramson provides an unusual perspective by focusing less on the damage associated with abuse and more on Sarah's gradual development of successful means of coping and surmounting negative patterns. He writes:"If you read carefully, in between the abuse and self-destructive behaviors, Sarah emerges as an active, striving individual. Sarah does not give up-she is appalled, angry, depressed and confused, but she keeps fighting to maintain her integrity. The resolution of Sarah's existential dilemma was the emergence of faith in herself."
