Moors. Mystery. Emily and Charlotte Brontë are about as opposite as two sisters can be. Charlotte is practical and cautious; Emily is headstrong and imaginative. But they do have one thing in common: a love of writing. This shared passion will lead them to be two of the first published female novelists and authors of several enduring works of classic literature. But they're not there yet. First, they have to figure out if there is a connection between a string of local burglaries, rumors that a neighbor's death may not have been accidental, and the appearance on the moors of a mysterious and handsome stranger. The girls have a lot of knots to untangle— before someone else gets killed. https://www.michaelamaccoll.com/my-books/project-three-jgzph-rdfyp-ah3z2 monthly 0.5 2021-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603337fce5d0ef22a23305f9/1617203880224-RCC3EO0202E26BFUE13S/lost+ones+small.jpg My Books - The Lost Ones - Kidnapping. Adoption. Carlyle BoardingSchool . Despite her father's warnings that their tribe is always in danger, Casita, a ten-year-old Lipan Apache girl, has led a relatively peaceful life with her tribe in Mexico, doing her daily chores and practicing for her upcoming Changing Woman ceremony, in which she will officially become a woman of the tribe. But the peace is shattered when the U.S. Cavalry invades and brutally slaughters her people. Casita and her younger brother survive the attack, but are taken captive and sent to the Carlisle Indian School, a Pennsylvania boarding school that specializes in assimilating Native Americans into white American culture. Casita grieves for her lost family as she struggles to find a way to maintain her identity as a Lipan Apache and survive at the school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603337fce5d0ef22a23305f9/1617204219424-7HWYGBWMH4OBA60MTN1S/Casita-and-Jack+.jpeg My Books - The Lost Ones - Watch the Video The Lost Ones is really the story of two children, Casita and her little brother Jack. They were members of a Lipan band of Apaches who lived in Mexico in the 1870’s. Their band was killed by the US Fourth Cavalry and the children were captured. The tribe never knew what happened to them, but they never forgot. They kept the memory of Casita and Jack alive until they figured out their fate. A documentary about them was produced by students at Carlyle College. https://www.michaelamaccoll.com/my-books/project-three-jgzph-rdfyp-4nspa-t44ce monthly 0.5 2021-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/603337fce5d0ef22a23305f9/1617153460026-XPF458EI9IBQQO08MEKW/louisa-cropped.jpg My Books - The Revelation of Louisa May - Alcott.

And why can't she escape the boredom of her small town to have an adventure of her own? Little does Louisa know just how interesting her small world is about to become. Before long she is juggling her stubborn father, a fugitive slave who is seeking safety along the Underground Railroad, and possibly even love where she least expects it.
