If you liked Rae's earlier book, A Prairie Kitchen, you'll find another equally delightful slice of history in Hearts and Homes. Her research into the foods, families and lifestyles of the people who farmed the Heartland from 1895-1939 makes for a fascinating mixture. You'll find delicious recipes (just like Grandma used to make!) plus gain new inspiration from the challenges these dedicated cooks faced in feeding their families during the scarcity of the war years and the Great Depression. Developing recipes and sharing the results has been a lifelong vocation for Rae Katherine Eighmey. Today her kitchen library has thousands of recipes from 19th and 20th century cookbooks and pioneers' journals and magazines. It is her goal to make them easy for today's cooks to make in their own kitchens, and she has adapted hundreds of them for modern cooking methods. She says translating these recipes is part detective story, part chemistry and part old-fashioned cooking skill.

In this national bestseller, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Gordon B. Hinckley, has created a classic look at the values that can change our world--and how to stand up for them. Drawing on anecdotes from his much-admired life of faith and service, as well as examples from American culture today, he examines ten virtues that have always illuminated the path to a better world: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith. He then shows how the two guardians of virtue--marriage and the family--can keep us on that path, even in difficult times. Standing for Something is an inspiring blueprint for what we all can do--as individuals, as a nation, and as a world community--to rediscover the values and virtues that have historically made us strong and that will lead us to a brighter future.

Our world is reeling from wars, famine, and financial distress. People are suffering with loneliness, addictions, and abuse. Homes are broken and hearts are wounded. Where does one even begin to make a dent in the distress? It begins in the heart and the home. Healing comes to individuals who then affect their environment and promote change and further healing. There is hope and help. I know because I am one of the healed. Now I turn to offer the truths I gleaned through years of study and application. It is my hope and my goal to inspire you to personal changes which open the door of your heart to receive the healing God has for you with the potential to spill over with healing for your family and home.
