Strong-willed and determined, she wins the brass over and plumbs a darkness she’d never known, much as Egan gives us a tour of the darkness Anna hides within - all while cultivating an image as a good girl, “impervious to the vices around her.”Įgan’s novels include many similar young women, straying beyond conventional expectations and limitations while nevertheless feeling shame after breaking the rules.

![]() ![]() Now more than ever, books are a great way to introduce kids to everything that makes the 4th of July a date worth remembering. However, those activities can't hold a candle to learning about the importance of immigrants and diversity that created America.

These children's books for the 4th of July go beyond fireworks to help show your kids exactly what freedom means and why we celebrate. Between family cookouts, thrilling fireworks shows, and parades marching by, it's easy to lose sight of the history behind it all. ![]() Independence Day is often filled with many fun activities to celebrate the birth of our nation. ![]() ![]() ![]() With his strong jaw, easy confidence, and form-fitting scrubs, it’s not long before every housewife in Hamilton is dragging neglected tomcats in for weekly checkups. ![]() ![]() Adam Foxe takes up residence as the town’s new vet.
