Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz brings her delicious wit and keen eye to early twentieth-century America in a moving yet comedic tour de force. Fourteen-year-old Joan Skraggs, just like the heroines in her beloved novels, yearns for real life and true love. But what hope is there for adventure, beauty, or art on a hardscrabble farm in Pennsylvania where the work never ends? Over the summer of 1911, Joan pours her heart out into her diary as she seeks a new, better life for herself--because maybe, just maybe, a hired girl cleaning and cooking for six dollars a week can become what a farm girl could only dream of--a woman with a future. Newbery Medalist Laura Amy Schlitz relates Joan's journey from the muck of the chicken coop to the comforts of a society household in Baltimore (Electricity Carpet sweepers Sending out the laundry ), taking readers on an exploration of feminism and housework; religion and literature; love and loyalty; cats, hats, and bunions.

I always ignore the buyer beware post but this is a buyer beware post!
I purchased this product based on the reviews I read. Please do not purchase. The cartridge is totally different from the brand version
The part of the cartridge that should be fastened and locked into the pen is shaped in a circle , on the pen the Parr is rectangle . The original cartridge has a circular downward pattern to help lock the cartridge into the machine on the replacement cartridge there's no ridges it just slides down so it doesn't fit in no way shape form or fashion. I tried to alter the circular piece to make it fit by filing, burning and reshaping the plastic in an attempt to change the shape to a rectangle to fit it doesn't work the entire cartridge does not fit into the machine it's a waste of money for product that can't be returned or used. Buyer beware!

I love the Passion Translation. I look forward to Exodus and some of the other books being translated in the Old Testament. Right now I have all that are available including the New Testament.

The Passion Translation is a great add for Bible Study! It gives more understanding and revelation into the writers of the time and God’s message to His people. I highly recommend The Passion translation for those looking to enhance their discipleship training.
