Breathing Lake Superior
Overcome with grief following the death of his youngest child, Cal Franklin uproots his wife and teenaged children to a ramshackle subsistence farm in far northern Wisconsin. Withdrawn and estranged from all they know, JJ and her stepbrother, John, struggle to adapt to life off the grid and to Cal's increasingly erratic behavior. Without electricity or even running water, the family suffers a series of calamities until Cal feels a call to preach. He builds a small log church on the property, and his unconventional message soon attracts a following. When elderly locals profess to be healed by the touch of Cal's hands, word spreads, and desperate people descend on the church from across the country. Though overwhelmed and doubtful of his powers, in a final act of love and faith, Cal seeks to raise his young son from the dead.
Narrated by Cal's stepson, John-named for "the chronicler of Christ's miracles"-Breathing Lake Superior is a poignant exploration of the mystic borderland where the mental strain of overwhelming grief becomes entangled with the promise and hope of ecstatic faith.

How Welfare Worked in the Early United States
establishment of the British colonies in the 1600s and the New Deal of the 1930s. In this book, Gabriel J. Loiacono follows the lives of five people in Rhode Island between the Revolutionary War and 1850: a long-serving overseer of the poor, a Continental Army veteran who was repeatedly banished
from town, a nurse who was paid by the government to care for the poor, an unwed mother who cared for the elderly, and a paralyzed young man who attempted to become a Christian missionary from inside of a poorhouse. Of Native, African, and English descent, these five Rhode Islanders utilized poor
relief in various ways. Tracing their involvement with these programs, Loiacono explains the importance of welfare through the first few generations of United States history. In Washington's day, poor relief was both generous and controlling. Two centuries ago, Americans paid for--and many relied on--an astonishing governmental system that provided food, housing, and medical care to those in need. This poor relief system also shaped American households and dictated where
Americans could live and work. Recent generations have assumed that welfare is a new development in the United States. This book shows how old welfare is in the United States of America through five little-known, but compelling, life stories.

Our Kitchen Cookbook
Some time ago, many persons in both the University and the Oshkosh community generously gave their time and energy to collect recipes to create the “Our Kitchen Cookbook.” This beautiful spiral bound cookbook features 462 recipes. Each recipe features the donors’ names, where available, and may include the ethnic origin of the recipe so you can easily locate select origins or friends and neighbors who may have submitted a recipe.
Some recipes are spicy, some are bold, and some are family secrets from times of old. Each recipe has its own unique blend of ingredients, setting it apart from all other recipes. Similarly, the Division of Academic Support of Inclusive Excellence is a recipe of diversity, a unique blend of individuals from different backgrounds and various walks of life. By reading through the recipes in this cookbook, you are not only looking through a blend of recipes, but through an entire world of individuals.
The recipes in this cookbook therefore are a lot like people; each one has its own personality, ingredients and characteristics. It seems only fitting, then, that the Division of Academic Support of Inclusive Excellence, a gathering of worldwide people, gathers and publishes a collection of recipes from around the world.
