In 1929, Max and Gertrud Bondy opened the doors to Marienau, a progressive boarding school in rural Germany. After fleeing the Nazis in 1939, their daughter Annemarie and her husband George founded The Roeper School, still thriving today. These are Annemarie's intimate memories of her childhood at Marienau. They render a portrait of the milieu that would birth the Bondy/ Roeper family's humanitarian philosophy-one that would evolve to profoundly impact the history of gifted education.

Fourteen-year-old Carrie Oyler craves adventure. Although her remote desert home is full of beauty and mystery, life in their sleepy Mormon hamlet leaves much to be desired for a strong dreamer. For Carrie, there are always more questions than answers. Carrie often wonders what her future will hold. Will she become a healer like her mother? Will she be allowed to go on a mission and travel the world? Anything would be better than becoming a plural wife, even though it would insure her eternal salvation.When she unexpectedly falls in love with a boy from a Pahute tribe and then is called upon to help rescue him, Carrie becomes trapped in an enchanted canyon known as The Maze. The key to their freedom comes from an unlikely source in Renda, who is traveling cross country in search of her own identity-but it may prove to take a combination of the past, the future, and a mother's fierce and undying love to unlock the magic that holds them all there.

When Karen Mireau moved from California to Lexington, Kentucky in the mid-1990s, she had no idea what might be in store for her or her four-year-old daughter, Marina. There were times of profound joy and also times of unbearable tragedy and sadness-but their friends and Bell Court neighbors became the foundation of their determination to keep going. These poems are portraits of some of the people and places they were so fortunate to encounter, and a testament to how love and faith in each other can, and does, change the world.
