The Hidden Staircase: Mystery Nancy Drew Stories

"The Hidden Staircase, published in 1930, was the second in a long line of the acclaimed Nancy Drew mysteries. The author is the pseudonymous Carolyn Keene, but this and other early novels in the series were written by Mildred Wirt Benson, who said The Hidden Staircase was her favorite of them all. In this book, Nancy, the daughter of prominent attorney Carson Drew, is visited one evening by Nathan Gombet, a sinister man who claims that Carson Drew swindled him out of money for a property. Nancy gets rid of Gombet with difficulty. Soon after, she is drawn into the case of the Turnbull sisters, unmarried women living alone in their old family mansion, Cliffwood. The sisters claim that their house is haunted, but it quickly becomes clear that something more is afoot: valuable heirlooms of the Turnbull family mysteriously vanish. Nancy, sure that ghosts are out of the question, stays with the sisters to unravel the mystery. She is certain that there must be some secret entrance to the old house, but she cannot find it. In the meantime, Carson Drew is mysteriously detained in a trip out of town on business. Nancy does not hear from him, and she worries that something may have happened to him. Nathan Gombet has tried to purchase the sisters’ house at far below its value. Nancy is sure that Nathan is behind the uncanny occurrences. She finds that he also has to do with the disappearance of her father. The Nancy Drew mysteries debuted in a fast-changing America, where women were rapidly discarding traditional roles and asserting themselves. Nancy models this new American woman: strong-willed, intelligent, indomitable, educated, and sharp-minded. In the nearly 100 years since their debut, the Nancy Drew mysteries have become an integral part of the American feminine mythos. The evergreen popularity of the Nancy Drew series led to many film and television adaptations. Today, nearly a century after their launch, the Nancy Drew books remain classics of young adult fiction."

The Secret of the Old Clock: Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, Book 1

"The Secret of the Old Clock, published in 1930, marked the debut of the classic line of Nancy Drew mysteries. It led to an initial series of 64 novels in all, in which the ever-teenage Nancy solves over 500 mysteries. In this book, sixteen-year-old Nancy, the daughter of prominent attorney Carson Drew, is drawn into the case of a disputed will by the late Josiah Crowley, a well-to-do but eccentric old man. The will grants all of Crowley’s wealth to the grasping and arrogant Topham family, but there are other claimants. Nancy is drawn into the case when she rescues a small girl, Judy, from a near-miss by a suspicious moving van. Nancy meets Judy’s caretakers, the elderly Turner sisters, who are relatives of Josiah Crowley. Crowley led them to believe that he remembered him in his will, but that is not the will that was found. Other Crowley relatives surface: the Hoover sisters, the Mathews brothers, the invalid Abby Rowen. All of them are severely needy, and all had been told that they were remembered in Crowley’s will. Nancy’s sleuthing reveals that the clue to the true will lies in an old clock of Josiah Crowley’s, now in the possession of the Tophams. Nancy’s search for the clock leads her into further revelations—and danger. The Nancy Drew mysteries debuted in a fast-changing America, where women were rapidly discarding traditional roles and asserting themselves. Nancy models this new American woman: strong-willed, intelligent, indomitable, as well as educated and sophisticated. In the nearly 100 years since their premiere, the Nancy Drew mysteries have become an integral part of the American feminine mythos. The Secret of the Old Clock, like the others in the series, is attributed to the pseudonymous Carolyn Keene. In fact Nancy was the creation of publisher Edward Stratemeyer, who engaged a number of ghostwriters to develop the books. Mildred Wirt Benson is credited with writing The Secret of the Old Clock. The evergreen popularity of the Nancy Drew series led to many film and television adaptations. Today, nearly 100 years after their launch, the Nancy Drew books remain classics of young adult fiction."

After Purity: Race, Sex, and Religion in White Christian America

"An intersectional analysis of evangelical purity culture's influence on gender, sexuality, race, and national identity in the United States. With a foreword by Linda Kay Klein, author of Pure: Inside the Evangelical Movement that Shamed a Generation of Young Women and How I Broke Free. In After Purity, purity scholar Sara Moslener conducts a nuanced investigation of purity culture in white evangelical Christianity, revealing its profound impact on gender, sexuality, race, and national identity in the United States. Moslener shares exclusive stories of participants from her research on the After Purity Project to discuss how purity culture affected women-particularly white women-who grew up in the evangelical church. These stories depict how white supremacy has a hand in constructing idealized "traditional" or "biblical" views of family, white racial identity, sexuality, gender expression, and religion, and how our physical bodies are situated within systems of power and oppression. With a blend of history, current research, and sustained analysis, Moslener explores how white evangelicalism has become so politically powerful, why gender and sexuality are positioned at the center of debate, and how those debates aim to obscure deeper histories of white evangelical racism. She describes the full disturbing effect of the "True Love Waits" movement and how purity teachings displaced all other forms of religious education in evangelicalism. From her interviewees in the After Purity Project, she shares stories of oppressive personal piety, sexual repression, disembodiment, self-hatred, mandatory hetero-normativity, and the many layers of obligation and shame in sexuality before reaching adulthood and navigating their way out of the church. Moslener also describes her own story of being a teen advocate for purity culture to becoming a researcher, scholar, and advocate for people harmed by purity. After Purity provides a window into the world of white evangelicalism and how its leaders and political allies have manufactured socio-sexual panic to justify the elimination of sexual and religious diversity that thrive in a flourishing democracy."

Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can

"A bold account of the development of human consciousness and spirituality over the ages and an examination of the dynamic global transformation of attitudes about healing. For more than fifteen years, Caroline Myss has studied why some people heal, while others do not. In her previous book, Anatomy of the Spirit, Dr. Myss illuminated the hidden interactions of belief and body, soul and cell to show how, as she inimitably puts it, 'your biography becomes your biology.'

With her characteristic no-nonsense style and high-voltage storytelling, she exposes and explodes the five myths about healing, explains the cultural and individual contexts in which people become physically and spiritually ill and invested in 'woundology,' and teaches new methods of working with the challenges that the seven energy centers embody. To help you get and stay on the path to wellness, Dr. Myss provides rituals and prayers for gaining a symbolic perspective on your life issues; for bolstering your personal power; and for connecting with a universal divine energy. Dr. Myss's breakthrough views on energy medicine and her active approach to healing life issues and physical illness will help you overcome the mental blocks that keep you from becoming well."

Sacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential

"New York Times bestselling author and medical intuitive Caroline Myss has found that when people don’t understand their purpose in life the result can be depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness—in short, a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions. Myss’s experience of working with people led her to develop an insightful and ingenious process for deciphering your own Sacred Contract—or higher purpose—using a new theory of archetypes that builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and many other contemporary thinkers. Myss examines the lives of the spiritual masters and prophets—Abraham, Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad—whose archetypal journeys illustrate the four stages of a Sacred Contract and provide clues for discovering your own. Myss explains how you can identify your particular spiritual energies, or archetypes—the gatekeepers of your higher purpose—and use them to help you find out what you are here on earth to learn and whom you are meant to meet. Exploring your Sacred Contract will shine a light on the purpose and meaning of your life. You are meant to do certain tasks, you are meant to have certain relationships. In coming to know your archetypal companions, you also begin to see how to live your life in ways that make the best use of your personal power and lead you to fulfill your greatest—in fact, your divine—potential. Both visionary and practical, Sacred Contracts is a bold, powerful work of spiritual wisdom. Without a doubt, your most intriguing challenge in life is to recognize your spiritual commitments and live them to the fullest."
