Sue and Sally Smith, a pair of dedicated nurses from the United States, arrive in a remote South American village to combat typhoid—only to discover that hunger and poverty are the real enemies facing the people there. When they confront Paolo de Portega, the wealthy landowner whose family controls the village, about the desperate conditions, he invites them to his villa, setting the stage for an unexpected clash between conscience and privilege. As Sue and Sally work to awaken Paolo to his responsibility toward those who depend on him, they discover that true healing might require changing hearts as much as bodies.

The Wilderness Scout
1 pp · Biography, Western-Frontier
Kit Carson [Christopher "Kit" Carson]

Kit Carson—born in 1809—discovered his calling early: as a young man accompanying hunters to Santa Fe, he found in the wilderness a way of life that would define him. From trapper and scout in the Rocky Mountains and California to guide for Fremont's explorations from 1842 to 1847, Carson carved new trails into unmapped country, and his courage in battle across the frontier during the Civil War earned him the rank of Brigadier General. This is the story of how one man's refusal to settle for town life became legend in the American West.
