But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, *The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane* travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

It was a grim scene that would, of course, be repeated endlessly throughout the war. Instead of running or giving in to despair, these brothers -- Tuvia, Zus, and Asael Bielski -- fought back, waging a guerrilla war of wits against the Nazis. By using their intimate knowledge of the dense forests surrounding the Belarusan towns of Novogrudek and Lida, the Bielskis evaded the Nazis and established a hidden base camp, then set about convincing other Jews to join their ranks. As more and more Jews arrived each day, a robust community began to emerge, a \"Jerusalem in the woods.\" After two and a half years in the woods, in July 1944, the Bielskis learned that the Germans, overrun by the Red Army, were retreating back toward Berlin. More than one thousand Bielski Jews emerged -- alive -- on that final, triumphant exit from the woods.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26t0agg1ngvkhhv9yyt2km.jpg?v=9d4bff31dd","L6BWSR1401IB~mEhVuxa02$xShtR",2004,336,[369],{"id":370,"slug":371,"name":372},"01kqn921tw9va8xzsx6y3tqy1w","peter-duffy-evzb","Peter Duffy",[374,375,376],{"id":116,"name":117,"slug":118,"is_fiction":16},{"id":291,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":379,"themes":380,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[91,298],[],{"id":158,"slug":159,"title":160,"description":161,"primary_cover_url":162,"cover_blurhash":163,"first_publish_year":164,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":63,"page_count":165,"authors":382,"genres":384,"series":388,"enrichment":389},[383],{"id":168,"slug":169,"name":170},[385,386,387],{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":16},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":16},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":87,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":390,"themes":391,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[90,91],[],{"id":272,"slug":273,"title":274,"description":275,"primary_cover_url":276,"cover_blurhash":277,"first_publish_year":278,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":63,"page_count":279,"authors":393,"genres":395,"series":399,"enrichment":400},[394],{"id":282,"slug":283,"name":284},[396,397,398],{"id":287,"name":288,"slug":289,"is_fiction":17},{"id":291,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":218,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":401,"themes":402,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[298,221],[],{"id":404,"slug":405,"title":406,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":407,"cover_blurhash":408,"first_publish_year":409,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":63,"page_count":7,"authors":410,"genres":415,"series":418,"enrichment":419},"01kx2cs38jh9peyvvp092mvgcr","secretariats-meadow-the-land-the-family-the-legend-dl56","Secretariats Meadow The Land The Family The Legend","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2cs392ga7gp1ptshwaatfs.jpg?v=1c208170c2","L9Dj-H100i}r1g=H,?NuJU$$NGEh",2010,[411],{"id":412,"slug":413,"name":414},"01kx2cs38ye18gx0521px6vb28","wayne-dementi-rkd5","Wayne Dementi",[416,417],{"id":291,"name":292,"slug":293,"is_fiction":17},{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":125,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":420,"themes":422,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[298,421],"nostalgic",[],{"id":424,"slug":425,"title":426,"description":427,"primary_cover_url":428,"cover_blurhash":429,"first_publish_year":61,"community_rating_avg":62,"community_rating_count":63,"page_count":430,"authors":431,"genres":436,"series":442,"enrichment":443},"01kx26p9x2tr7z6y7fjg1eczxc","the-modernity-of-witchcraft-politics-and-the-occult-in-postcolonial-africa-ayto","The Modernity of Witchcraft Politics and the Occult in Postcolonial Africa","To many Westerners, the disappearance of African traditions of witchcraft might seem inevitable wuth continued modernization. In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity. Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26p9xjf4zd9788rgc84ngz.jpg?v=368ad55854","L5CPV9?^8wKi0Nt7ozjZ00D%?bV@",311,[432],{"id":433,"slug":434,"name":435},"01kx26p9xdtr875q86dc85wq6r","peter-geschiere-dwaw","Peter Geschiere",[437,438],{"id":26,"name":27,"slug":28,"is_fiction":17},{"id":439,"name":440,"slug":441,"is_fiction":17},106,"Religion","religion",[],{"pace":218,"complexity":7,"audience":88,"mood":444,"themes":446,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[445,90],"intellectual",[],{"id":448,"slug":449,"title":450,"description":451,"primary_cover_url":452,"cover_blurhash":453,"first_publish_year":454,"community_rating_avg":103,"community_rating_count":63,"page_count":140,"authors":455,"genres":460,"series":470,"enrichment":471},"01kx2kejzw8emerhgyafym4fpz","sin-in-the-second-city-jqut","Sin in the Second City","Step into the perfumed parlors of the Everleigh Club, the most famous brothel in American history--and the catalyst for a culture war that rocked the nation. Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched... [Sin in the Second City] describes a popular culture awash in wild tales of sexual abuse, crusading reformers claiming God on their side, and deep suspicion of the threat posed by \"foreigners\" to the nation's Christian values.\" --Janet Maslin, The New York Times \"Lavish in her details, nicely detached in her point of view, [and with] scrupulous concern for historical accuracy, Ms. Abbott has written an immensely readable book. Sin in the Second City offers much in the way of reflection for those interested in the unending puzzle that goes by the name of human nature.\" -- The Wall Street Journal \"Abbott's first book is meticulously researched and entertaining... a colorful history of old Chicago that reads like a novel.\" --The Atlanta Journal Constitution\"With gleaming prose and authoritative knowledge Abbott elucidates one of the most colorful periods in American history, and the result reads like the very best fiction. Sex, opulence, murder -- What's not to love?\" -- Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants\"A detailed and intimate portrait of the Ritz of brothels, the famed Everleigh Club of turn-of-the-century Chicago.
