The Confidence Code: The Science and Art of Self-Assurance—What Women Should Know
Great book that discusses the science of confidence and how confidence impacts success.
Following the success of Lean In and Why Women Should Rule the World, the authors of the bestselling Womenomics provide an informative and practical guide to understanding the importance of confidence—and learning how to achieve it—for women of all ages and at all stages of their career.
Working women today are better educated and more well qualified than ever before. Yet men still predominate in the corporate world. In The Confidence Code, Claire Shipman and Katty Kay argue that the key reason is confidence.
Combining cutting-edge research in genetics, gender, behavior, and cognition—with examples from their own lives and those of other successful women in politics, media, and business—Kay and Shipman go beyond admonishing women to “lean in.”Instead, they offer the inspiration and practical advice women need to close the gap and achieve the careers they want and deserve.

Chains (The Seeds of America Trilogy)
I love all the books by this author. Her stories are so well researched and explain things in such a way that young readers can empathize and understand the plight of the characters while learning about history and culture. As a teacher, I would recommend her books every time – for both struggling and advanced readers. I get lost in the story myself!
As the Revolutionary War begins, thirteen-year-old Isabel wages her own fight…for freedom. Promised freedom upon the death of their owner, she and her sister, Ruth, in a cruel twist of fate become the property of a malicious New York City couple, the Locktons, who have no sympathy for the American Revolution and even less for Ruth and Isabel. When Isabel meets Curzon, a slave with ties to the Patriots, he encourages her to spy on her owners, who know details of British plans for invasion. She is reluctant at first, but when the unthinkable happens to Ruth, Isabel realizes her loyalty is available to the bidder who can provide her with freedom.
From acclaimed author Laurie Halse Anderson comes this compelling, impeccably researched novel that shows the lengths we can go to cast off our chains, both physical and spiritual.

Night Before Dawn (Grete’s Story)
This book was well written and very factual. Showing the harshness of the Nazi movement in Germany, then the nightmare of the Russians moving into East Berlin to establish Communism. Greta’s Story gives the reader a sense of her need to do all she could to survive and to protect her children. One could feel the intensity of traveling in secret between the two Berlins. Not easy to put this book down. Twists and turns kept one wanting to get to the end.

The Sacred Shore (Song of Acadia Book #2): Book 2
I was very pleased with the way the book took us right into the world of Nicole and Anne. I enjoyed this book for its constant reminders of letting God lead you in your everyday life. I am hoping for a 3rd book.
Oceans and circumstances have forced families apart. For the banished French Acadians drifting in exile, the shore means safety–though it is a safety at a terrible price. For the lonely British nobleman, the shore holds a single chance to secure his legacy. For Andrew and Catherine Harrow, the shore marks a tragic separation.
An extraordinary set of journeys awaits them all, each as intricate and perilous as the coastline itself. New beginnings are connected to all that has come before. And the past penetrates into what is yet to come. The common thread is a yearning to discover their identities in their families, in their communities, and in their God.

Distant Beacon, The (Song of Acadia Book #4)
Filled with passionate romance, betrayal, and a revolution that will change the world, The Distant Beacon is a compelling novel that sweeps the reader away with its heartfelt emotion. Also highly recommended are the early volumes of the “Song Of Arcadia” series: The Meeting Place; The Sacred Shore; and The Birthright.

Despite the raging War of Independence, she sets sail for the American colonies to manage her uncle’s landholdings.

The Beloved Land (Song of Acadia Book #5)
All the books in this group are very good. I would recommend this book to family and friends. Hope to read more about the people of Acadia.
The tragic Acadian saga recounted in The Meeting Place, when the British drove the French from Nova Scotia, has followed two families over a score of years to the birth pangs of a new nation. The Song of Acadia has been one full of pathos but also of hope. Faith in God and family eventually have brought the Henri Robichauds to Louisiana, and finally, to a life of tranquility among the bayous. Back in Nova Scotia, the Andrew Harrows have been beacons of light among the British and the French communities.
But the American Revolution has created turmoil on two continents, dividing nations, people, and, sometimes, even families. Anne in England and Nicole in the New World have little hope of seeing one another again in the foreseeable future.
Then a letter finds its way to both sisters with news that send them on a frantic and harrowing journey to…The Beloved Land.
