"A Myrtle Among Reeds" is a highly personal account of the nature and history of Jewish prayer, rooted in the author's 25 years of experience as a head of Jewish schools, and as a regular prayer-leader. From getting out of bed until the end of Shacharit, Prashker takes the reader on a journey through the whys and hows and whats of every Jewish prayer: their origins, their practices and their different purposes. This scholarly commentary is driven by one guiding question: if the Judaism that has existed for the past 2,000 years was consciously established as a "substitute for the time of exile" by the Talmudic Rabbis, because the Jews had lost their sovereignty in the land of Israel and the Temple was destroyed, why are Jews still "playing the substitute" when the exile has ended? Prashker offers a challenge to traditional Jews, and to those who count themselves as liberal, modern and progressive as well, to re-think Jewish prayer and practice in the light of the establishment of the State of Israel. This book is essential reading for every Jew, and for all who are interested in Judaism, or the act of prayer in any form. No religious school classroom should be without it. "The Day of Atonement," exploring the prayers and rituals of Yom Kippur, provides a sister-volume to "A Myrtle Among Reeds."

'A Spinner in the Sun' is a haunting novel that follows the story of Miss Evelina Gray, a woman who has lost everything and wants nothing more than to end her life. With no other options, she returns to her old, rundown home where she meets Miss Mehitable Smith, a nosy neighbor who unwittingly reveals Evelina's past. As Evelina remembers the events that led to her current state, she finds the pearls that were given to her by Dr. Anthony Dexter, the man she had fled from twenty-five years earlier. Fuelled by a desire for revenge, Evelina decides to use the pearls to make him remember. Myrtle Reed's beautifully written and evocative tale explores the complexities of human emotion, the power of memory, and the enduring effects of love and loss.

The earth trembled beneath Ruth's feet for a moment, then, all at once, she understood. The light in the attic window, the marked paragraph in the paper, and the death notices—why, yes, the Charles Winfield who had married Abigail Weatherby was Miss Ainslie's lover, and Carl was his son. “He went away!” Miss Ainslie's voice came again to Ruth, when she told her story, with no hint of her lover's name. He went away, and soon afterward, married Abigail Weatherby, but why? Was it love at first sight, or did he believe that his sweetheart was dead? Then Carl was born and the mother died. Twelve years afterward, he followed her—broken hearted. Carl had told her that his father could not bear the smell of lavender nor the sight of any shade of purple—and Miss Ainslie always wore lavender and lived in the scent of it—had he come to shrink from it through remorse...FROM THE BOOKS.
