Local history doesn't have to be boring and ghost stories aren't always scary. A few of the buildings moved to the Genesee Country Village and Museum brought their previous owners along for the ride. A fatal fire in 1964 took the lives of six children a few days before Christmas, the spirit of the holiday lives through laughter and playful footsteps. And on a Cayuga Lake college campus, the ghost of jealous wife wields her knife at the spot where she killed her husband's mistress. These are just a few stories passed down through the years and witnessed by the living.

This is the story of the Muslim prophet Yusha' ibn Nun (as), known in English as Joshua, who was both the servant and the inheritor of Moses (as). It is the story of heroic deeds and spiritual triumphs, but also of humbleness and submission to God. Content to remain in the shadow of his master, Yusha's (as) own story remains partially hidden. To help uncover it, a comparison is made to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (kw) the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (sas). Warriors, scholars, and spiritual champions, they teach us something about the path of service whose destination is the holy land.

A biography of Felicity Blackett (1912-2011), an English artist, supplemented by her own diaries, begins with her birth in Liverpool where her Scottish mother married a detective who became head of the Criminal Investigation Department. At the age of four, she was saddened by her father's death in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. After the war, Felicity and her mother immigrated to Italy where she had art lessons from Barbara Nash, sister of the well-known war artist brothers. Returning to England just before the war, ventures included marriage, motherhood, divorce, and a second marriage, all while working in the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), caring for wounded soldiers, including her second husband. After World War II, Felicity began with consolidating her artistic talents over twenty-five years in South Africa and then four decades in England where she settled in the Cotswold Village of Dursley, staying in close touch with her extended family and friends including her American daughter and family. While in England her art was influenced by the surrounding countryside, villages, and animals especially wildfowl and scenic habitats in Gloucestershire and on visits to the Scottish border country.
