Lizzie and Rosanna are cousins. But when the Civil War breaks out, fifteen-year-old Lizzie finds herself committed to the cause of the Union, while Rosanna is swept up in the passions of the old south and in her love for a young Confederate officer. Torn in their alliances, yet as devoted as sisters, each girl finds herself grappling with the senseless brutality of war, and the sacrifices that must be made in order to survive. It will take one of the war's bloodiest battles fought on the farmlands of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to bring them together again. Unflinching in its portrayal of war, and inspiring in its depiction of two resilient young women, this is a historical novel of exceptional depth and reach.

Losing her favored status with Queen Elizabeth I when her forbidden romance with Sir Walter Ralegh is discovered, Lady Catherine is banished to the doomed colony of Roanoke, where she suspects Ralegh's unfaithfulness and falls for Croatoan Native American, Manteo.

And so they meet in secret, embracing in stairwells and castle turrets, murmuring each other's names in hushed voices, reaching passionately for each other under the cover of darkness.
Teachers juggle a lot, so the ability to stay focused, calm, and mentally sharp is critical. This generous and heartfelt book shows you how meditation and mindfulness practices can enable you to not only survive, but to flourish in the classroom.

Vegane Kochbücher gibt es mittlerweile viele, vegane Rezepturen im Internet noch viel mehr, doch was steckt wirklich hinter dem Hype um die pflanzliche Ernährung? Was muss man wissen, um pflanzliche Alternativen sinnvoll einzusetzen? So ist zum Beispiel das Ei ein „Multitalent“ in der Küche und in unserem Gehirn als unverzichtbarer Bestandteil vieler Speisen eingebrannt. Um es zu ersetzen, denken viele nur an industrielle Produkte. Es ist aber viel einfacher: Fast alle Sojaprodukte sind als Ei-Ersatz geeignet. Viele glauben, es handelt sich bei Veganerinnen und Veganern um „weiterentwickelte“ Vegetarierinnen und Vegetarier. Das stimmt nicht, vegane Ernährung zieht viel größere Kreise. „Es geht nicht darum, die Welt zu retten. Mir geht es einfach besser, wenn ich vegan esse. Ich bin gegen Massentierhaltung und gegen die mangelnde Wertschätzung den Produkten gegenüber“, sagt ein bekennender Veganer.
