(In Bible times, a teenage girls life is touched by worry ...)
In Bible times, a teenage girls life is touched by worry and fear, as well as by friendship and love, just as it is today. Beloved by her family, Joanna will do anything to protect them, including risking her own safety to keep her fathers gold from being stolen. But when her plan backfires, she is taken away with it, finding herself lost in an unknown land. Soon, Joanna of Jerusalem finds herself in Petra after being rescued from the hot desert by Tabitha and her brother, Reuben. When Joanna is reunited with her family, though, she learns there is more to the mystery of the stolen gold, and it may concern her brother and Laban, her intended betrothed. As other events unfold, she realizes that she must make a choice between what has always been and what her heart desires. Join Edith Cuttings Joanna of Jerusalem as she uncovers the truth not only concerning the gold, but that of her own heart.

( "My family lives in the Adirondacks, a section of New Y...)
"My family lives in the Adirondacks, a section of New York State that has been favorable to the preservation of folklore. With a common background in England and America for life in a small community, we have kept alive many old tales, songs, sayings, and superstitions, which have always had a sort of fascination for us even though, when quoting some belief, we often qualified it with the remark, 'Of course, I don't believe that sort of thing.'"―from Lore of an Adirondack County Collecting songs, stories, and sayings passed down in her family―and in those of their friends and neighbors in Essex County, New York―Edith E. Cutting provides an invaluable compilation of Adirondack folklore, from lumberjack songs to tall tales about drinking, hunting, and French Canadians. Also included are legends about hidden treasure, weather lore, stories about ghosts and witches, recollections of folk medicines and children's games, and popular songs and ballads. Originally published by Cornell University Press in 1944, Lore of an Adirondack County remains a fresh and charming account of the folkways of New York State, showing how a single Adirondack family, aided by willing neighbors, 'yarned' and sang in the hills above Lake Champlain.
