Review A Woman's Life-Work / IndyPublish.com:A title by Laura Smith Haviland, who was born in Kitley Township, Ontario. At age 16, Laura met Charles Haviland, Jr. (1800-1845), then 24 and a devout Quaker, and whose father and mother were both acknowledged ministers in the Society of Friends. Charles and Laura were married November 11, 1825. Laura's family, along with others, joined Elizabeth Margaret Chandler, who had organized the Logan Female Anti-Slavery Society, the first anti-slavery organization in the state of Michigan. Laura and Charles had many concerns for the children who were orphaned in the county. In one of their most significant accomplishments, they founded a school, the Raisin Institute, in 1837, and decided that it would be open to all, regardless of race, creed, or sex. The couple also created the first Underground Railroad station in Michigan. The station aided escaped slaves to travel to Canada to regain their freedom. In honor of Haviland's efforts, two cities have been named after her; Haviland, Kansas and Haviland, Ohio. [+]A statue of Laura Haviland stands in front of the city hall in Adrian, Michigan. It has an inscription that reads: "A Tribute to a Life Consecrated to the Betterment of Humanity. ".

Review Where Our Hearts Still Lie: A Life of Harry and Honor Maude in the Pacific / Crawford House Publishing:Robert Louis Stevenson's stories of his travels in the South Seas have inspired countless readers to follow in his footsteps and experience for themselves the seductive beauty of the Pacific Islands and their peoples. One of those readers was the twelve-year-old Harry Maude, adapting painfully to lonely boarding-school life in England after a childhood spent within a large household in the heat and noise of India. He in turn would arouse the enthusiasm of the young Honor King who, like Stevenson, was troubled by respiratory problems after a childhood spend in Edinburgh, and in search of a kinder climate and persuade her to join him. So in 1929 the newly wedded Harry and Honor Maude set off for the Pacific, with little more than a yearning for a life together, free from the constraints and prejudices of England, in Stevenson's innocent isles. They found their youthful dreams more than fulfilled, not in lush Tahiti or Samoa, but in the remote and little-known coral atolls of the Gilbert Islands, "where every day was to prove a fresh and joyous adventure of living". Unlike Stevenson, the Maudes would not end their days in the islands, and no memorial stands to their lives there. Dietary deprivations, long periods of separation, war, philosophical and strategic differences with service colleagues, financial security considerations, and the uncertainties engendered by a changing economic and political climate were ultimately to take their toll. Yet the islands where they spent twenty years were always to be as Honor wrote from unhappy exile in Zanzibar in 1936 where our hearts still lie, and they would spend the rest of their long lives researching and writing about them.

Review Yow-ay Bungee / CopyRight Publishing:In 1901 a son is born in a small farmhouse at Milora in the Fassifern Valley, the sixth child of the farmer and his wife. In seven months, his mother will be dead. He will live ninety-two years. During those years, he will follow many roads. His experiences, chance encounters, interests and circumstances, some happy, some tragic, some welcome, some not, will help to mould his character, influence his thinking and contribute to his long and colourful life. Yow-ay Bungee is the story of the roads Roy Shelton travelled in the first twenty-four years of his life, from the small depleted farm at Milora, to a rich Merlwood farm in the Murgon district of the South Burnett, and to Rewan Remount Station near the Carnavon Gorge in the Central Queensland Highlands. During this time we learn of the hardships and sacrifices that men and women endured through those early years on the land in order to exist and succeed, and of the tenacity, vision and determination they displayed in the face of adversity. Along the way, we live with him, as we meet all the characters he encounters, his extended family, the men and women of the bush, his Aboriginal friends and the beautiful horses on Rewan Station, all whom contributed to his rich and varied life.
