Where Yesterday Lives

Karen Kingsbury

Multnomah Books, 2006

OCEANS APART
I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate Karen Kingsbury's work. She captures life from a truly human perspective and leads you to the truth in finding true healing in pain. Karen is a gifted writer. I find her books very relatable and I cannot wait to start another book. I was fortunate to receive a free preview copy of Oceans Apart, and folks you are in for a real treat. IT IS ...

Fifty Famous Stories Retold (Yesterday's Classics)

10 reviews
James Baldwin

Yesterday's Classics, 2005

An important book
This wonderful little book was first published in 1896 (at least that's the one I have). It contains fifty short stories that were originally considered indispensable for the education of truly literate and well-rounded children. The fifty stories are classics of American culture, and as such are almost completely forgotten in today's America. The stories teach such lessons as perseverance, ...

Stardust of Yesterday (Haunting Hearts Series)

92 reviews
Lynn Kurland

Berkley, 2001

This is what dreams are made of!!
Reading through some of the previous reviews, I'm struck by some of the comments. One, Amazon's review calls it akin to Devereux's Knight in Shining Armor. Stardust of Yesterday is MUCH MUCH better. They are not in the same league at all. Two, this is not a realistic story; it is a work of fiction. It shows great imagination. You're not supposed to read so much into it. Just read and enjoy. ...

Seeds of Yesterday (Dollanger Saga)

69 reviews
V.C. Andrews

Pocket, 1990

Great book, ending will leave a lump in your throat...
Because it's another sad, bittersweet ending from the real VC Andrews. This book has more of a soap opera feel to it than a gothic feel. Yet, it has a little of that, too. You won't be disappointed; ignore the negative reviews. This is a perfect wrap-up of the Dollanganger saga, although "Garden of Shadows" (a prequel) was printed three years after this book. It begins with a middle-aged Cathy ...

Yesterday: The Beatles Once Upon a Time

4 reviews

Vendome Press, 2007

NOSTALGIA AT ITS BEST
If you are a Beatles keenie and would enjoy seeing previously unpublished photos of the boys, this book is for you. It's a unique, bittersweet collection showing the joy and innocence which characterized the group's very early days together. A wonderful bonus is Astrid's introduction which provides information about these early days that was news even to this life-long Beatles fanatic!

Goddess of Yesterday

Laurel Leaf, 2003

Vicki's Review
Goddess of Yesterday by Caroline B. Cooney is a great book for all readers 11 or 12 and up. It is 244 pages (in very small print) and has a nine-page epilogue that tells what really happened in the time the story takes place, which is the beginning of the Trojan War. It is a historical fiction book with some but not a lot of fantasy. I would compare it to the book about the Trojan war, the Iliad, ...

Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920's (Perennial Classics)

26 reviews
Frederick L. Allen

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2000

Contemporary AND historical!Recently while doing research for an exhibition on the 1920s, I purchased this fabulous little book
Recently while doing research for an exhibition on the 1920s, I purchased this fabulous little book called Only Yesterday: An Informal History of the 1920s. Historian Frederick Lewis Allen wrote it in 1931, before Prohibition was even repealed! I bought it because I wanted a contemporary perspective on the decade from someone who was there. I was astounded at his insight into a decade that he ...

Russell Versaci

Taunton, 2007

Pulled into the Pages
When you open this book expect not only to view, but become alive in the pages! This book is so full of true "old" techniques, patterns, shapes, forms, and use of the home. Beautiful, quality pictures to make you feel as if you are right there in each room. Much to gather visually and use for your own home.

Betrayal (Chasing Yesterday)

1 review
Robin Wasserman

Scholastic Paperbacks, 2007

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
J.D. and Daniel are on the run. They're running from the people that are after J.D., which seems to be just about everyone. They're running from the visions in J.D.'s head that might be the past, might be the future, or might just be hallucinations. And J.D. is running from the guilt that she is probably responsible for the death of the woman who, falsely, claimed to be her mother. The only ...

Viking Tales (Yesterday's Classics)

4 reviews
Jennie Hall

Yesterday's Classics, 2005

A valuable resource
Hall writes of the Norse legends and travel tales of Iceland, the stories of kings and battles of ship sailing. These stories have three values. These adventure tales, including the discovery of America (named Vinland) by the Norse, are a gripping chronicle of the human desire for exploration and a tantalizing glimpse of what would many centuries later become the New World. Anyone interested in ...

Pairing historical black-and-white images with contemporary photographs of the modern game, Chicago Cubs Yesterday & Today celebrates more than a century of ups and downs in the history of the team and its legions of rabid fans. The book examines the ballparks, the teams, the players, and the colorful ...

The Road to Yesterday (L.M. Montgomery Books)

L.M. Montgomery

Laurel Leaf, 1993

Cherished book from my past
Before they started re-releasing L.M.'s short stories in paperback, my local library had a hardback version of this book. I checked that book out countless times. I still remember the faded pink cover with its fancy Victorian drawing. I read and re-read this book throughout my teenage years. I had doubts if the stories would translate into adulthood, but the humor lasts. I recommend this book ...

So Yesterday

Scott Westerfeld

Razorbill, 2005

So Yesterday? No -- So Right Now!
When a middle school teacher I know recommended this book to me (a university professor of sociology), I wasn't sure about the fit, but I loved it! It's smart, funny, and too, TOO relevant in the U.S. today. Now, I find myself recommending it to others. Who knew that a book for young people could be such a good read AND have such a hopeful message about the future of our culture?

World of Yesterday

27 reviews
Stefan Zweig

University of Nebraska Press, 1964

Reason in the age of Brutality
This is a truly important book. Not only because Stefan Zweig is an intellectual of the highest calibre, but the manner in which he guides you through the years of fundamental change in Europe and the world. From the pre WW1 years of security and intellectual pursuit for a better world, united intellectually and artistically, to its pointless breakdown which gave the twin evils of communism and ...

The Story of the Middle Ages (Yesterday's Classics)

1 review
Samuel, B. Harding

Yesterday's Classics, 2006

Good overview
Tapestry of Grace curriculum uses this book and The Middle Ages: An Illustrated History (Oxford U. Press) for middle school. Story of the Middle Ages is a good overview. It is dated in certain aspects, but its critiques of most cultures and events are balanced and should be helpful to the young student of this period. It pairs well with the OUP title.

The Story of the Greeks (Yesterday's Classics)

1 review
H. A. Guerber

Yesterday's Classics, 2006

A great way to learn Greek history!
Skip the boring, tedious textbooks! Guerber brings history facts to life in story book fashion. I am convinced that children would enjoy learning history in school if they could read from books like this rather than from textbooks. My 6th grade home-schooler read this a few chapters at a time while we were studying Ancient Greece. He always wanted to keep reading farther than what I had assigned ...

Parables from Nature (Yesterday's Classics)

6 reviews
Mrs. Alfred Gatty

Yesterday's Classics, 2006

A challenging gem...
First let me clarify that I am commenting on the story, not the edition. For what it's worth, I have the edition by Yesterday's Classics and it is nicely done. These stories are challenging, rich and complex, as they seek to uncover God's craftsmanship in the natural world, how the seen teaches us about the unseen ("the creation declares the glory of God....") The writing and vocabulary are ...

The Story of the Romans (Yesterday's Classics)

3 reviews
H. A. Guerber

Yesterday's Classics, 2006

A great introduction to the classics.
I read "The Story of the Romans" as a child in the 1920s. It opened my eyes to ancient history. I still remember the picture of Horatiius at the bridge. The two sides in a war (probably the Athenians and the Spartans) had chosen five soldiers from each side to determine the outcome. As I recall, Horatius led one side, perhaps all brothers. All the others on his side has been killed, so he ran ...

Yesterday, I Cried : Celebrating the Lessons of Living and Loving

Iyanla Vanzant

Fireside, 2001

"I sat down and had myself a good cry."
This book, that poem changed my ENTIRE life and still is. For so long people have been thought to believe that crying is a sign of weakness, and for me that was Magnified to the point where anger built up inside of me so much that it poured out in all the wrong times and at all the wrong people... until I read that poem, "Yesterday, I Cried." That poem is so powerful, not just in my situation but ...
