Book excerpt: Vivian Gibson grew up in Mill Creek, a neighborhood of St. Louis razed in 1955 to build a highway. Her family, friends, church community, and neighbors were all displaced by urban renewal. In this moving memoir, Gibson recreates the every day lived experiences of her family, including her college-educated mother, who moved to St. Louis as part of the Great Migration, her friends, shop owners, teachers, and others who made Mill Creek into a warm, tight-knit, African-American community, and reflects upon what it means that Mill Creek was destroyed by racism and "urban renewal."

Book Synopsis Children of the Mill by : David Hanson

Download or read book Children of the Mill written by David Hanson. This book was released on 2014-07-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Channel 4's The Mill captivated viewers with the tales of the lives of the young girls and boys in a northern mill. Focusing on the lives of the apprentices at Quarry Bank Mill, David Hanson's book uses a wealth of first-person source material including letters, diaries, mill records, to tell the stories of the children who lived and worked at Quarry Bank throughout the nineteenth century. This book perfectly accompanies the television series, satisfying viewers' curiosity about the history of the children of Quarry Bank. It reveals the real lives of the television series' main characters: Esther, Daniel, Lucy and Susannah, showing how shockingly close to the truth the dramatisation is. But the book also goes far beyond this to create a full and vivid picture of factory life in the industrial revolution. David Hanson has written an accessible narrative history of Victorian working children and the conditions in which they worked.

Book excerpt: The Great River Adventure Tom Austin, Paul Ford and Vera Smith are looking for an adventure. A story told by Gramps inspires them to build a raft and float it down the river; in search of buried treasure. Finding stolen money and being held captive by bank robbers was the last thing they were looking for. When they're forced at gunpoint to take the bank robbers downriver, things get real exciting. Knowing there's a water fall not to far beyond Waterville, Tom tries to convince the two bank robbers their idea is a bad one. The bank robbers think he's trying to pull a trick on them and force him to continue downriver right towards the falls and certain death. Join the Mill Creek kids in The Great River Adventure and find out how they learn to trust God with their lives. Tom resides in upstate New York with his wife Vera. They have worked together in children's ministries for the last twenty-four years. Tom has written several Mill Creek Kids short stories for the children he and Vera teach in their children's church class. The children have enjoyed the short stories so much that Tom decided to write a collection of full-length Mill Creek kids stories.
