Book excerpt: On Monday, September 1, 1951, Deborah Faye Banks gave birth to a seven-pound, six-ounce, little, pink bundle of joy. The only problem was no one bothered to explain to Deborah Faye the joy part. In fact, twelve weeks later, when prodded by her landlord to give her child a name, she announced, 'Mrs. Thatcher, I'd like you to meet Miss Pawn Ticket Banks. Miss Pawn Ticket Banks, I'd like you to meet Mrs. Thatcher.' A few days later, Deborah Faye Banks disappears from Catalpa, Louisiana, leaving Mrs. Rose Thatcher the unorthodox guardian of little Pawn Ticket. Though Rose is in her fifties and has no experience raising children of her own, she takes on the job of taking care of Pawn willingly. To her greater surprise, after many years of close friendship with her dearest friend, Henry, she receives an offer of marriage-which she accepts-making Pawn, Rose, and Henry a happy family. Together, the family teaches Pawn self-confidence, honesty, friendship, and love in a Christian home. However, lingering doubts play in the back of her mind as Rose fears that Deborah Faye will one day return to take Pawn away from her. And worse, she worries that Pawn will want to go with her. Will Deborah return for her child? Will Rose and Henry be able to give her up? Will Pawn leave the only home she's ever known? Find out in PK Nations's heartwarming and enchanting story of love and an unusual family, Redeeming Pawn Ticket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “utterly brilliant” and deeply researched guide to the sights, smells, endless wonders, and profound changes of nineteenth century British history (Books Monthly, UK). Step into the past and experience the world of Victorian England, from clothing to cuisine, toilet arrangements to transport—and everything in between. A Visitor’s Guide to Victorian England is “a brilliant guided tour of Charles Dickens’s and other eminent Victorian Englishmen’s England, with insights into where and where not to go, what type of people you’re likely to meet, and what sights and sounds to watch out for . . . Utterly brilliant!” (Books Monthly, UK). Like going back in time, Higgs’s book shows armchair travelers how to find the best seat on an omnibus, fasten a corset, deal with unwanted insects and vermin, get in and out of a vehicle while wearing a crinoline, and avoid catching an infectious disease. Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book blends accurate historical details with compelling stories to bring alive the fascinating details of Victorian daily life. It is a must-read for seasoned social history fans, costume drama lovers, history students, and anyone with an interest in the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of pawnbroking in the United States from the nation’s founding through the Great Depression, In Hock demonstrates that the pawnshop was essential to the rise of capitalism. The class of working poor created by this economic tide could make ends meet only, Wendy Woloson argues, by regularly pawning household objects to supplement inadequate wages. Nonetheless, businessmen, reformers, and cultural critics claimed that pawnshops promoted vice, and employed anti-Semitic stereotypes to cast their proprietors as greedy and cold-hearted. Using personal correspondence, business records, and other rich archival sources to uncover the truth behind the rhetoric, Woloson brings to life a diverse cast of characters and shows that pawnbrokers were in fact shrewd businessmen, often from humble origins, who possessed sophisticated knowledge of a wide range of goods in various resale markets. A much-needed new look at a misunderstood institution, In Hock is both a first-rate academic study of a largely ignored facet of the capitalist economy and a resonant portrait of the economic struggles of generations of Americans.
