When my sister and brother and I were growing up on Staten Island, Dad told us very little about his Vermont boyhood, and nothing at all about his father. We respected his silence. We figured he had good reason for it. But long after Dad's death, my sister and I started to look more closely at our family history. Soon we were connected to a world of New England striving and struggle that we came to see as part of our own Vermont heritage.So this is the story of Dad and his mother and brother, and his unreliable father, and his father's five sisters, whom we'd known nothing about before we began our research. It pays tribute to an everyday heroine, Dad's mother, who took her sons to Staten Island to begin a new life when her marriage failed. It also traces earlier Wrights (and forebears with other surnames, like Little, Bailey, Hadley, Hathaway, Shattuck, Blanchard, and Burt) in towns all over Vermont (and New Hampshire and Massachusetts), some of them with their own compelling stories -- farmers, soldiers, railroad men, miners, housewives, and keepers of inns and hotels.These are my Wrights of Vermont.

Jennifer Proctor, a wispy yet hauntingly beautiful young girl of ten, already qualified as one of those rare saints on earth. She had developed a sense of compassion far beyond her years and, unlike most children her age, is completely unselfish. When she innocently applies a gift that she neither understands nor wants to save a young boy's father from certain death in a racecar accident, Jennie affects the destiny of a whole family in ways she could not have dreamed. Only when her path crosses once again with Ross Becker years later does she learn of the powerful impact her kind-spirited intervention had on so many people and how he must now return her favor.Set between 1940 and 1963, A Favor Returned captures the changing dynamics of families, communities, and the country in the post-World War II era as prosperity and a confidence bordering on arrogance seemed to envelope the nation. The historical background mingles with the thread of possibility that there truly may be people on this earth who are in the world but not of it, people whose decency and honesty appear too good to be true. Coupled with this is the unsettling possibility that unselfish "saints on earth" may set into motion devastating and tragic consequences. Jennifer Proctor firmly believes that there is a loving God who has placed some people on earth to help others be happier, but time and again she must face the frustrating fact that He doesn't explain how the process is supposed to work. When Ross Becker is faced with the final heart-wrenching dilemma of A Favor Returned, he at last realizes the desperate and utter truth of Jennie's frustration.

What gets us nowhere is apathy, passively accepting a doctrinal adherence that we listen to only on Sunday.Hofer's writing draws you into a vital relationship with the Lord that has thrived for almost twenty-five years. Besides offering some daily doses of practical insight and inspiration, Living Large investigates the source of religious believing and the origin of moral behavior. It looks natural science directly in the eye. And it reflects the author's growing appreciation for the Old Testament.The fourth book in this series, Living Large follows the same format as Driving into the Dawn, Yielding to Wonder and Turning Aside to See. It contains easy-to-read two-page chapters, each opening with a psalm that leads to daily study.Hofer's first book, Power of Yielding, described her dramatic conversion experience and the lifetime pilgrimage that it initiated. She continues to read widely, journeying on, searching for similar spiritual awakenings and essential Christian truths.If you're ready to enrich your Christian faith with a greater understanding of what you believe, this is the book for you.

What is truth? Where do we find it? And will it transform our lives? Join Sharon Rezac Andersen on her 1983 study tour to Nicaragua and discover the answers to these questions. As the United States government undermined the Nicaraguan Sandinista regime by supplying arms to the contra rebels, author Sharon Rezac Andersen and her mentor, Sister Margie Tuite, journeyed to Nicaragua as ambassadors with the largest US ecumenical movement, Church Women United. Despite the dangers of traveling in a civil war zone, they met the challenge with a desire to seek the truth from those living in the country. Now you can journey with Rezac Andersen through The Burden of Knowing, meeting the people and seeing the places that influenced her life. Read how the Nicaraguans wept over the corpses of slain youth martyrs who were killed by the contras while protecting precious coffee crops. See how broken lives were being restored under the Sandinista regime, and experience the spirit of hope that was being ignited among the Nicaraguan poor through the many positive programs by their government. The Burden of Knowing is a tribute to Sister Margie Tuite, whose tenacious effort to seek peace with justice opened Rezac Andersen's eyes to the possibility of creating peace on Earth. According to Rezac Andersen, to experience a sense of truth in oneself is to understand that all are connected into a greater wholeness -- the world and the entire human family. Rezac Andersen's hope is that after reading The Burden of Knowing you will examine more than one source for accurate information, realizing that media "infotainment" has no merit or validity when trying to determine what is true.
