Book Description
This personal and provocative look at poverty in America is shaped around the author's own engaging stories, song lyrics, and poems, including the well-known Call Me Child of God ... Not Those People. The story of her growing up in a large Irish Catholic working-class family in Minneapolis, Minnesota, draws together the experiences of living in poverty, the role of the church and music in her life, and the many remarkable people who populated her life and the lives of her family.
The author describes economic hardship and social challenges as being as "regular as the turning seasons in my coming up years," and refers to her life in poverty as the "soil of my art." Through her stories and reflections, Julia Dinsmore puts a face on poverty and challenges readers to answer God's call to respond to poverty and its effects

Julia is a social prophet........2007-08-23
In her ground breaking first book, Julia holds nothing back. She tells her story about living a life time challenged by poverty. Poverty gets defeminized, gets politically corrected and becomes a multicultural and universal story and phenomena through humor, social commentary and poetry. Julia, as social prophet, unravels a tongue that's sharp, accurate and liberating.
My Name is Child of God-Not Those People is a must read for THOSE who go by the book - discounting the richness and valus of human contact and interdependence beyond parallel play and ThOSE who know all about THEM (and IT) by reading or taking a touristy approaoh to social issues.
This is a must read for those who lack language to express their outrage at the new and improved technologically savvy spin doctored social injustices. Read ths book if you've been there, done that, got a foot on here and there as you try to balance basic human needs on a daily basis and keep your dignity and sanity.
As an African American woman, I've been a life time card carrying member of the "THOSE PEOPLE" club. "Those people" is a two word marginalizing, zap a group of people into some science fiction reality phrase. When spoken or even thought, a conscious act of segregation and terrorism is initiated and unleashed within every social institution - education, health, housing, transportation services, to name a few.
We all live in a collected fear that POVERTY can happen to any of US PEOPLE at any time. It is not about THOSE PEOPLE. It's about WE THE PEOPLE and about our fractured social constructs that permit men, women and chidren toe hungry and homeless in America. Thank you Julia for your courage and insight. Say it LOUD - POVERTY ENDS NOW!
Julia, a rose in the midst of thorns for such a time as this.......2007-04-26
Bravo, Julia Dinsmore! There were times when I would laugh aloud and times when I was brought to tears in the telling of her life's story. An amazingly gifted woman in the literary and spoken arts with not only an amazing way of dealing with the adversities and stings of life but astounding the experiences she's had and how she approached them. I love to read, I appreciate good material, and cannot say enough about how impacted I am by this author and her profound story/stories. This woman is one that leaves impression, exhorts to action, encourages that we can "do it," and at the same time look to enjoy the journey of the drama life can bring. Watch for her name as I have no doubt that she is impacting a whole society in a way no person has done before. There's just something about her, a depth in a much deeper dimension. She's contageous in a profound way. I love Julia. The publisher hit a goldmine in this woman.
Book Description
No matter how the question is answered, one thing is clear: There has hardly been a life in the last century that Eleanor Roosevelt has not affected, in one way or another. From securing safe, low-cost housing for Kentucky's poor, to helping her grandchildren hang a tire swing on the White House's south lawn, to representing America as the first female delegate to the United Nations, Eleanor rarely kept a second of her life for herself -- and she wouldn't have had it any other way.
In this stunning "scrapbook" biography, Candace Fleming, author of the acclaimed Ben Franklin's Almanac, turns her keen eye to our nation's premier First Lady. Filled with photographs of everything from Eleanor's speech at the 1940 Democratic National Convention to her high school report card, as well as fascinating stories about life in and out of the White House, Our Eleanor gives us a remarkable perspective on a remarkable woman, and presents to a new generation an Eleanor to call its own.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too.......2007-09-08
Eleanor Roosevelt was very like a diamond in the rough. She wasn't much to look at on the outside, but she was stunningly beautiful on the inside. She was strong, multi-faceted, rare, and flawed.
Author Candace Fleming did a wonderful job of showing all aspects of the amazing Mrs. Roosevelt, from her childhood to her death. This was a clearly unbiased portrait, backed by research and notes galore. Fleming does not patronize her young readers. She shows the good, the bad, and the ugly about one woman's life.
The best part about the book is its scrapbook style layout, which allows the reader to peek at little snippets at a time, or read long passages. Full of rare photographs, letters, and little known facts, this book is one of the best biographies I've ever read!

Getting to know her.......2007-02-02
We older persons grew up with Franklin Delano Roosevelt as our thirty-second president, who at four terms was our longest serving. And we knew Eleanor his wife, who remained active nationally for many years after his death. Young people may not know much about her.
So, please come in, take a seat, and let me show you this scrapbook about Eleanor. Isn't her picture on the cover lovely? She was indeed a lovely person.
I had been wanting to show you Our Eleanor: A Scrapbook Look at Eleanor Roosevelt's Remarkable Life, by Candace Fleming.
The design and big size of the book are perfect. You can feel how heavy and semiglossy the paper is. As a hardback it is an enduring treasure.
There are photographs on practically every page. And much more. The many articles are well written and presented artfully on the page, the fonts are varied, and many thoughtful quotations of Eleanor's are included, for she did a lot of writing.
We learn that Eleanor was born to privilege, but had a hard childhood. Her mother, who was demeaning toward her, died when Eleanor was eight. "With my father I was perfectly happy," she wrote. But shortly before she was ten years old, her father also died, a suicide.
Eleanor's uncle and godfather was her father's older brother, Theodore Roosevelt, who became our twenty-sixth president. He instilled in her the importance of social responsibility and helping those less fortunate. Eleanor remained a humanitarian all her life.
She was first educated by tutor until almost fifteen and then sent to a school in England, where she met an enlightened teacher and developed a winning personality and many friends.
We follow Eleanor through marriage and children; through her husband Franklin's loss of the use of his legs from polio. As first lady during Franklin's long presidency, she traveled the country, becoming his "eyes and ears," since he could not travel easily, and reporting back to him with advice.
She continued teaching, lecturing, writing, and editing. In her sixties at the United Nations, she chaired the commission that created the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Eleanor was intelligent and always a charming and hardworking lady.
Our Eleanor is for more mature children and for young adults. But older persons will also find the book interesting, insightful, and inspiring. Exciting even.
Rare To Call a Book "Life-Changing".......2006-10-10
... but this one has been, for me.
I was actually moved to tears as I read some parts: Eleanor visiting troops in the South Pacific; Eleanor pleading for Israel's right to become a state, by 1948; her grief at Fala's death--what a foolish reporter, who commented that she was dry-eyed at FDR's death, but could weep when the dog died! Totally clueless person.
A monumental life, marked by all the human characteristics of failures, victories, heartaches, jubilations... she took little credit, and shouldered lots of blame.
I also find it noteworthy to look at the reactions of all the first ladies, after her, to Eleanor. Very telling, to my mind!
GREAT JOB! Best biography I have ever read!
Make Our Eleanor YOUR Eleanor.......2006-03-31
A perfectly written biography. Anyone interested in politics, women, American history, civil rights, human rights, and making a difference in the world MUST read this book. You will feel like you not only know her, but after reading, you'll feel that Eleanor is somewhere cheering you on in your life's endeavors as educators, librarians, sanitation workers, peacemakers, leaders, voters, human beings...
An incredible piece of writing about an awe-inspiring person.
Richie's Picks: OUR ELEANOR.......2005-10-02
" 'I always had the feeling from a very young age that I was ugly,' Eleanor wrote. This feeling came from her mother, who often gazed at her daughter coolly, as if she couldn't imagine having such a plain-looking, solemn-faced daughter. Forced to wear a back brace to correct a curvature of the spine, Eleanor knew 'as a child knows these things,' that her mother was bitterly disappointed in her physical features. 'I can remember,' wrote Eleanor, 'standing in the door, very often with my finger in my mouth which was, of course, forbidden--and I can see the look in her eyes and hear the tone in her voice as she said: "Come in, Granny." If a visitor was there, she might turn and say, "She is such a funny child, so old-fashioned that we always call her Granny." I wanted to sink through the floor in shame.'
"Eleanor tried desperately to please her mother. Small as she was, she often sat and rubbed [her mother] Anna's temples for hours on end, easing her migraine headaches. 'The feeling that I was useful,' Eleanor later said, 'was perhaps the greatest joy I experienced.' "
In the manner of American Idol, AOL and the Discovery Channel have been conducting an online process to determine "The Greatest American." Happening upon the poll containing the Final Five last week, and reading aloud to Shari what was being done, she grumbled in response to the fact that the remaining contestants were all men. I haven't yet dared to tell her which of those five men has since taken the top spot, thanks to 2.4 million online voters with the wisdom to believe that Ronald Reagan was a greater America than was MLK, Abe Lincoln, Ben Franklin, or the dude with the wooden teeth.
If those participating in "The Greatest American" voting had had the wisdom to make sure that at least one American woman be present among those final contestants, who would have been the most likely female to fill such a spot? OUR ELEANOR provides readers with more than enough evidence for proposing that Eleanor Roosevelt be considered as one of the greatest of citizens in the history of America, irregardless of gender. Candace Fleming does a sensational job of recounting the amazing accomplishments of Eleanor Roosevelt, both in Eleanor's own right, and as the eyes, ears and often the conscience of her husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
But at least as important as unveiling the record of Eleanor's prodigious achievements on the national and world stage, the author succeeds brilliantly in revealing the real woman behind the public figure. Closely examined are the relationships with her parents, her husband, her children, her mother-in-law, her friends, and famous world leaders, as well as with the hundreds of thousands of nameless everyday people, both Americans and others, with whom she came in contact over her long, oftentimes difficult life.
"[Franklin's mother] Sara frequently made thoughtless. stinging comments that deeply hurt Eleanor. Once, in front of a dozen dinner guests, Sara turned to her daughter-in-law. 'If you'd just run a comb through your hair, dear,' she said, 'you'd look so much better.' Another time, during a luncheon party, Sara left Eleanor standing while she showed all the other guests to their seats. She was already serving the soup when she finally turned to her daughter-in-law. 'Oh, yes, Eleanor,' she said snidely, 'you sit there.
"With the births of Franklin and Eleanor's five children, Sara's interference became intolerable, causing terrible family friction. Sara spoiled them from infancy to adulthood with expensive presents--ponies, trips, cars, apartments. As one of the children put it long afterward, 'Granny's ace in the hole...was the fact that she held the pursestrings in the family.' Worse, Sara undercut Eleanor's authority and confidence by repeatedly calling the children hers. She once told little Jimmy, 'Your mother only bore you, I am more your mother than your mother is.' "
When the emotional and verbal abuse by her mother and then her mother-in-law led to serious difficulties in fulfilling her role as mother to her children, Eleanor eventually turned to mothering the American people through the Great Depression and World War II. A woman who wore through the soles of two pairs of shoes while meeting 400,000 servicemen during a five-week trip to the war-torn South Pacific of WWII, Eleanor is revealed by Ms. Fleming to be both a woman of her times and a woman who was driven to move far beyond those times to change the world to the benefit of all who have come since.
Speaking of driven:
"Independence-seeking Eleanor took up driving--an uncommon activity for women of her social class, who usually took taxis or rode in chauffeur-driven cars--in 1920. She had tried to learn years earlier, but an incident involving a car bumper and a gatepost had put her off. Now however, she longed to experience the freedom of driving. There were many mishaps. 'Your running into the ditch was all right,' Sara wrote her in 1922, 'so long as you were not hurt.' Still, Eleanor drove herself to church, to luncheons, to speaking events. Once, to her family's dismay, she even drove herself on a camping trip to Canada and reported only three minor accidents. Admitted her son James, 'Mother's driving was worse than anyone's.' She scraped, bumped, and banged her way down the road until 1946, the year she fell asleep behind the wheel. Her car veered across the highway, slammed into another vehicle head-on, then sideswiped one more. The accident cost Eleanor her two front teeth."
As with BEN FRANKLIN'S ALMANAC, the author's previous biography, OUR ELEANOR is written in a series of well-illustrated one- and two-page self-contained sections. Even more than with the Ben Franklin book, the various sections of the Eleanor "scrapbook" flow easily into one another to form an entertaining and enlightening narrative. Mixed right in with Eleanor's convincing her husband to disband the Japanese internment camps, her evolution from anti-Semite to supporter of Israel, her service at the United Nations, and her long career as a writer, are great stories about her attempt to be taught to use a gun in lieu of the Secret Service agent with whom she refused to be stuck, her support of public libraries, and the 3,271 page FBI file that J. Edgar Hoover compiled on her.
"On April 20, 1933, the world-famous aviator Amelia Earhart attended a dinner at the White House. Afterward she invited Eleanor along on an airplane flight from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore and back--the first lady's first night trip. Eager to show the public how easy and safe air travel was, Eleanor quickly agreed. Afterward reporters asked how it felt to be piloted by a woman. Eleanor replied, 'I'd give a lot to do it myself!' She did consider getting her own pilot's license, but Franklin vetoed the idea. 'I know how Eleanor drives a car,' he is reported to have said. 'Imagine her flying an airplane!' "
Time and time again I found that OUR ELEANOR: A SCRAPBOOK LOOK AT ELEANOR ROOSEVELT'S REMARKABLE LIFE revealed connections and relationships to scores of important people and events in American history. Eleanor worked for Women's Rights alongside Carrie Chapman Catt in the National League of Women Voters. Eleanor worked for Civil Rights, being a friend and supporter of Marian Anderson, raising money for the Southern Christian Leadership Council and working as an intermediary between President Kennedy and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Eleanor worked for Human Rights, debating in private with Nikita Khrushchev and representing the US at the United Nations. Eleanor worked for Workers' Rights, riding two-and-a-half-miles down into a coal mine to observe conditions and then badgering her husband to improve them. Eleanor worked for the rights of prisoners, for the aged and infirm, and she never shied away from hanging out in public or private with friends or acquaintances because they were lesbians.
The life of Eleanor Roosevelt continues to provide inspiration for all women, from the First Ladies who have succeeded her to the girls in the inner cities, small towns, and suburbs who deal with boys still trying to tell them what they can and can't do.
You can keep the Gipper. I'll take OUR ELEANOR.
Book Description
In cooperation with the Plimoth Plantation, a living-history museum in Massachusetts, National Geographic has recreated the first Thanksgiving. Photographs by National Geographic photographers of the recreation at Plimoth Plantation illustrate this book. In 1621, in a small settlement on the edge of the sea, 52 English colonists celebrated their first harvest. The colonists were joined by 90 men of the Wampanoag tribe for a gathering that was to last three days in a town now known as Plymouth. Over the centuries, there have been countless versions of this story, creating a popular myth of the first Thanksgiving. Many Americans imagine brave, peaceful settlers inviting a few wild Indians over for a turkey dinner. But there was no pumpkin pie or cranberry sauce at this celebration. There were no Indians with woven blankets over their shoulders and large feathered headdresses. No pilgrims with somber black clothes and silver buckle hats either. The English didn't even call themselves Pilgrims. This book puts aside that myth and takes a new look at our American history. It questions what we know and recovers lost voices of the Wampanoag people. True history includes the voices of all its participants. 1621: A New Look at Thanksgiving invites young people to read, listen, and think about our shared history. The book also features a foreword, a section on the actual reenactment and the concept of living history, a chronology, an index, and a bibliography.

New Perspectives on Thanksgiving.......2005-03-09
What did they really eat at the first Thanksgiving?
Venison, roast duck, roast goose, clams and other shellfish, succulent eels, white bread, corn bread, leeks and watercress, wild plums and dried berries, wild grape wine.
How did the pilgrims come to find an Indian that spoke English when they arrived in the New World?
Tisquantum, also known as Squanto, had been kidnapped by earlier explorers, but had managed to return to his home in what is now called New England.
Was the first Thanksgiving really in 1621?
In the fall of 1621 the Pilgrims spent 3 days celebrating their first harvest in the New World with at least 90 Native American guests, but the pilgrims never referred to this as a day of thanksgiving. It was in 1623 when a two month drought ended after their fervent prayers that the first recorded religious thanksgiving day occurred. This day focused more on worship than on feasting.
The book 1621 A New Look at Thanksgiving is published by the National Geographic Society, which is evidenced by the excellence of its photographs. It was put together with the help of the folks at Plimouth Plantation, a living history museum of 17th century Plymouth, located in Plymouth, Massachusetts.
The information is not primarily in the form of a story. The chapters are short, just a few pages, rather like photo essays, and they tend to stand by themselves, allowing the reader to pick and choose.
The authors believe they have significant new perspectives to share.
" There was neither cranberry sauce nor pumpkin pie at the 1621 harvest celebration. There were no Indians with woven blankets over their shoulders and large feathered headdresses cascading down their backs. There were no Pilgrims in somber black clothes and tall hats with silver buckles, either. The English didn't even call themselves Pilgrims at the time"
In giving information about the first Thanksgiving there are a few chapters sharing from the viewpoint of the Wampanoag native people, as well as a page about the history of the holiday, a chronology, and a couple of recipes, including this one for Stewed Pompion.
4 cups of cooked pumpkin or squash (seeded, and steamed or baked), roughly mashed
3 tablespoons butter
2 to 3 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
In a saucepan over medium heat, stir and heat all the ingredients together. Adjust seasonings to taste and serve hot.
We used concentrated apple juice and regular vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar. It has a rustic authentic flavor, which no one in our house enjoyed too much except me. For a family of four a half batch is probably sufficient.
The website for Plimouth Plantation is http://www.plimoth.org/
You can read a lot there about the Indians, the people we call the pilgrims, the first thanksgiving, the settlement at Plymouth, and of course the living history museum. For those with a high speed connection I recommend clicking Online Fun - Become a Historian! on the home page. This activity teaches about how history is researched and recorded as well as about what is commonly known as the First Thanksgiving.
A Refreshing View of the real Thanksgiving.......2002-11-23
I highly recommend this book. As the daughter of a Cherokee-English African-American woman,educator and grandmother I was always taught the truth along with my brothers about this very important holiday/harvest festival. Early on we were taught to share what we had with the less fortunate and to give to others who really needed something. Also my grandmother the late,great Hattie Little-Tabor who was my mom's mother fed homless people who stopped by her home during the Great Depression. This book brought back full circle the fact that we must all strive to work together to overcome greed to serve all in need. I highly recommend this book.
An exquisite book.......2001-09-11
This is a beautifully written and exquisitely photographed book about the first Thanksgiving celebration in 1621 (according to the Western calendar). The photos were taken during re-enactments at Plimoth Plantation, and are historically accurate as well as lovely to look at. The text gives the Wampanoag perspective on the event with sensitivity and vibrancy. All in a book that is clearly successful in engaging young readers, no matter how much or how little they already know--or think they know--about the history of Thanksgiving.

Harry Potter, over the years............2007-05-13
I received this book from a friend of mine who knows how much I love JK Rowling and her famous literary "offspring", Harry Potter. I zipped through this interesting little book quickly and its a nice addition to any Potterphile's collection.
The book charts the history of Rowling's creation from its earliest beginnings by using articles and interviews with the author and stars of the celebrated movies. The articles/interviews are an insight into the popular series from its meek beginning, its burgeoning popularity to its overwhelming appeal and worldwide adoration. There are lots of little tidbits and trivia that will appeal to fans of Harry Potter fans, young and old.
A recommended quick read for fans who love the magical world of JK Rowling.
Book Description
Contains eleven papers by noted authorities on the Great War (including Professors Brian Bond, Ian F W Beckett, Edward M Spiers, Drs G D Sheffield, Keith Grieves, William Philpott) presented to the British Commission for Military History during their seminar commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. A must for the serious military historian.

Not even if it's free.......2004-09-13
A terrible book, poor editorship, shoddy research, biased conclusions. That just about sums up what this book is all about.
For the specialist.......2004-09-07
An enlightening if esoteric series of essays by acknowledged Great War experts, this collection is valuable, among other aspects, to the understanding of the current anti-revisionist movement especially in the areas of command and the operational approaches of the British Army in the latter stages of the war. Lessons learned on the Somme figure in two of the essays, the reorganization of supply behind this great 1916 battle in another. Editor Bond includes an interesting article on the late Liddle Hart and his influence on the revisionists and Edward Spiers contibutes a thoughtful piece on the use of gas as a weapon and the post-war discussion. Some of the other articles include a look at the Beligian army, officer-man relationships during the war, capital courts-martial, and a brief discussion of command at army/corps levels. Excellent writing and information, it's a collection for those with a comprehensive knowledge of the war and an interest in it's detail.
