A reminder, bright and sparkling for those who need it, that when endings are out of reach, so too are new beginnings.”―New Republic\n"It’s essential feminist history. In White’s telling, it’s also a gossipy story of misogyny, millionaires, and murder."―New York Daily News\n"Through well-documented research, White melds the changing stances within the worlds of politics, religion, the courts and the growing nation's social culture, all of which were moving slowly, incrementally, more tolerant of necessary divorce."―Star Tribune\n"White’s book is as readable as her research is thorough. Her writing style is so engrossing that the book could be historical fiction, [even though] it is not."―The Sun\n"A fascinating read, and eerily pertinent to the rights of women today."―Historical Novel Society\n"The Divorce Colony delivers a delicious, cinematic tale of real-life scandal, suspense, and above all else, survival.

I loved every word of this most surprising book."―Simon Winchester, New York Times bestselling author of The Professor and the Madman and The Men Who United the States\n"Until I read April White's remarkable book, The Divorce Colony, I had not thought of women seeking to leave marriages in the 19th century as human rights pioneers. But this story—vivid, compelling, infuriating, inspiring—changed my mind. And I have no doubt, it will change yours, too."―Deborah Blum, New York Times bestselling author of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz-Age New York\n“The Divorce Colony paints a carefully-researched portrait of four women at the turn of the 20th century who had had enough. White’s colorful portrayal of these brave divorcees—conjured before our eyes through an impressive deep dive into the archives—reminds us of the distance, both literal and figurative, that women have travelled to uncouple and regain their freedom. A fascinating read!"―Paulina Bren, Ph.D., award-winning author of The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free\n“Unearthing a hidden gem previously lost to history, April White weaves impeccable research and elegant prose into a thought-provoking page turner. The Divorce Colony is an irresistible work of narrative nonfiction.”―Matthew Pearl, New York Times bestselling author of The Dante Club and The Taking of Jemima Boone\n"Start The Divorce Colony and you'll have a hard time leaving."―Post Bulletin\n"Lively."―Argus Leader\n"[A] sparkling account...

Not long ago, Philadelphia's culinary identity could be described in one word: Cheesesteak. But today you're as likely to hear food lovers discussing Iron Chef Jose Garces, restaurant mogul Stephen Starr, Marc "Is this the Best Italian Restaurant in America?" Vetri, and the gelato genius of Capogiro. You'll find them crowding into Honey's Sit 'n' Eat for a Jewish-Southern brunch, lining up for bespoke cocktails at Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co., and planning a year in advance for dinner at Talula's Table. And these Philly food devotees are always hungry for more. One thing hasn't changed since the city's cheesesteak days, when friendly rivalries between vendors earned the humble sandwich its place atop Philly foodie lore. The personalities--the talented, memorable chefs in the city's kitchens--are the driving force behind the city's current restaurant revolution. The New Philadelphia Chef's Table captures this vibrant moment in Philadelphia's dining scene through recipes from and conversations with more than fifty of the city's most influential and well-known chefs.

Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart

Product Description 
Destination Hope: A Travel Companion When Life Falls Apart offers camaraderie and a beacon of hope for women who feel alone in loss, struggle, or change of circumstance.\nThis book is not a self-help book filled with platitudes from people who think they have life figured out. Instead, Marilyn Nutter and April White link arms with the audience and encourage their readers through stories of their personal challenges in widowhood and chronic illness. Women are encouraged to see loss and hardship as part of life’s journey and are reminded to turn their gaze upwards, to the Provider of Hope. Within the pages of 
Destination Hope comes a sisterhood, a bond, that is formed only through the mutual understanding of loss and the need to find hope in hard times.\nDestination Hope is arranged into six chapters called Milepost Markers, which address various losses, disappointments, or obstacles. Each entry concludes with a Rest Area for reflection and journaling. A Postcard with a quotation related to the topic sends readers off with an encouraging word, as they travel on towards their destination hope. 
 About the Author 
Marilyn Nutter loves finding treasures in unexpected places: gratitude in mulch, conversations with grandchildren, and secrets in an old trunk. Most of all she has found the treasure of hope in loss. Unexpectedly widowed after forty-two years of marriage, Lamentations 3:22-23 has been a brilliant treasure in her new season. After a career as a speech-language pathologist, Marilyn pursued writing and is the author of three devotional books and a contributor to print, on-line publications, and compilations. 
 April White is an off-road 4x4 Jeep shotgun wife, cheerleader to two teenagers, and a pharmacist. Until five years ago, the only thing missing from April's idyllic life was a white picket fence and a deer-proof garden. However, in 2015, a rare illness, Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis, threatened to derail April's sense of worth, security, and identity. As a chronic illness warrior, April draws strength daily with Jesus, coffee, and afternoon naps. While a rare illness hijacked her body, she refuses it to steal her hope. God is using April's chronic battle as a platform to write and speak of God’s chronic presence.
