- Hopefully ever after / by Wiseman, Beth,1962-author.;
- "In the third and final novel of Beth Wiseman's Amish Bookstore series, two young people must find the courage to defy expectations and become who they're meant to be. Sixteen-year-old Eden Hale doesn't want to be defined by her current circumstances. Her mother is in prison, she doesn't know her father, and she's had her own run-ins with the law, but Eden refuses to become what people expect. When she is sent to live with an Amish cousin she's never met in Montgomery, Indiana, she welcomes the chance to become the person she wants to be without the burden of anyone's judgment. Her hopes are confirmed when she meets Samuel, a young Amish man who seems to like her for who she really is. Samuel Byler has grown up with strict Amish parents, and they aren't happy that their only son is choosing to spend his free time with an outsider. As Eden and Samuel grow closer, assumptions close in around the young couple. It isn't long before Eden starts to doubt herself and wonders if she is doomed to follow in her mother's footsteps, whether she wants to or not. Meanwhile, Samuel finds himself slipping further and further from his faith--to Eden's dismay. Both Eden and Samuel's futures hang in the balance as they face decisions about who they are--both as individuals and together"--

- Prison born : incarceration and motherhood in the colonial shadow / by Hansen, Robin F.,author.;
- Includes bibliographical references and index."A scathing critique of the colonial legal system's denial of children's rights. One afternoon in 2016, lawyer Robin Hansen receives a call. On the other end of the line is "Jacquie" -- a pregnant Indigenous woman, nine weeks from her due date and terrified for the welfare of her unborn son. Jacquie has been sentenced to a custodial prison sentence and her son will be automatically separated from her immediately after his birth. As Hansen works to help Jacquie with her appeal, she uncovers the legal system's inherent discrimination against mothers in custody and the children born to them. Using Access to Information requests along with extensive research, Hansen examines the legal rights of these women -- the majority of whom are Indigenous -- and finds that Jacquie and her son are by no means alone: automatic mother-infant separation without due process remains the norm in most jurisdictions in Canada. Prison Born calls attention to the colonial and gendered assumptions that continue to underpin the legal system -- assumptions that so frequently lead to the violation of the rights and denial of personhood for children and their mothers"--

- My mother, a serial killer / by Baron, Hazel,author.; Fife-Yeomans, Janet,author.;
- "Dulcie Bodsworth was the unlikeliest serial killer. She was loved everywhere she went, and the townsfolk of Wilcannia, Australia which she called home in the late 1950s, thought of her as kind and caring. The officers at the local police station found Dulcie witty and charming, and they looked forward to the scones and cakes she generously baked and delivered for their morning tea. That was only one side of her. Only her daughter Hazel saw the real Dulcie. And what she saw terrified her. Dulcie was in fact a cold, calculating killer who, by 1958, had put three men in their graves-- one of them the father of her four children, Ted Baron-- in one of the most infamous periods of Australian criminal history. She would have got away with it all had it not been for Hazel. Written by award-winning journalist Janet Fife-Yeomans together with Hazel Baron, My Mother, A Serial Killer is a chilling story of a murderous mother and the courageous daughter who testified against her and put her in jail."-- Page [4] of cover.
