Our hearts are so heavy for everyone who has been impacted by the devastation of the Texas flooding, and we talk about that at the beginning of this episode. We didn't know how to transition into our normal brand of silliness without addressing it, and we're praying that the presence and the comfort of the Lord will be so palpable for everyone who is hurting. Jesus, be near. We also talk about my trip to Canada, Melanie's trip to Knoxville, and what we've been watching. Basically we just try to do what we usually do, and we hope that it will lighten a load / brighten someone's day a little bit.  Take care, y'all.  - Join Us on Patreon - Our Amazon Shop - San Antonio Live Show (10/23/25) tickets are on sale now!

Note: This episode was originally published April 2, 2024, I'll be back with new content next week, enjoy!Did you read the Anne of Green Gables series as a young girl and then walk through the woods pretending to be Anne and Diana? Yes? So did I and so did my friend Deanna! Talking with Deanna about this book was so much fun, celebrating Anne and the cultural impact this story has had. A famous Anne quote is: “I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”. Well, I'm so glad I live in a world where there is an Anne of Green Gables.Spoiler alert (Not really this is an iconic scene at this point): In the first book Anne accidentally gets her bestie Diana drunk on current wine, which she believes is raspberry cordial. Current wine apparently takes months, so we decided to make Raspberry Cordial Mules, which can be enjoyed with or without alcohol by making it with zero-proof vodka. I got the recipe from this lovely website and made the cordial myself in less than an hour!Raspberry Cordial Mule12 oz. Frozen Raspberries3 cups Water¾ cup Sugar2 tsp.

In this episode, Brian sits down with Historian and Author Sara Underwood to discuss a side of Prince Edward Island history that stands in stark contrast to its famous fictional orphan, Anne of Green Gables. Sara's book, "Awful Kind: The Story of the Middlemore Children and Prince Edward Island," shines a light on the real, and often tragic, stories of British Home Children. You'll hear how a conversation with a descendant sparked a deep dive into the archives, leading to the remarkable discovery of thousands of individual case files for children sent from the Middlemore Homes to the Maritimes.Sara reveals the shocking truths she uncovered from the records. These children weren't brought over for adoption; they were primarily a source of cheap labor to fill a shortage of domestic servants and farmhands. Hear the heart-wrenching stories of their lives: children as young as seven expected to do the work of a man , the profound sadness and stigma that followed many for life , and the desperate ways they tried to reconnect with family back in England. For anyone who believes they may have a Home Child ancestor, Sara shares the crucial first steps to begin your own search.About Brian Nash As a genealogist, Brian focuses on the people, places, and events that make up people's family stories.   Brian is a genealogist who started working on his own family tree over 30 years ago and has been able to trace one family line back to as early as 950 AD.Brian traces his own family from Scotland and Ireland to the New World where they wound up in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia in the 18th and 19th centuries.

I've likely committed some kind of crime by going an entire decade without devoting an episode to Isao Takahata's 1979 Anne of Green Gables anime series, but here it is at long last. One of the greatest literary adaptations of all time, and maybe one the greatest television shows of all time. Dave Merrill and Patricia Gosselin chat with me about the legacy of Lucy Maude Montgomery's work, the idolatry of Anne Shirley in Japan, the anime's broadcast in French-speaking Canada and why its only English dub was produced in South Africa.

Send us a textWhen Edna O'Brien published her debut novel The Country Girls in 1960, she was branded a “Jezebel” in her native Ireland—but that didn't stop her from completing a poignant trilogy about a pair of friends coming of age in a world for which village life and convent school failed to prepare them. Despite initial backlash to her sexually frank depiction of young women's lives and desires, O'Brien's writing brought her acclaim and celebrity status—Vanity Fair dubbed her “the playgirl of the western world.” Novelist Edan Lepucki joins us to discuss the trilogy's timeless appeal and the complicated-but-endearing friendship of characters Kate Brady and Baba Brennan.Mentioned in this episode:The Country Girls trilogy by Edna O'BrienEdna O'Brien interview on BBC's “World Book Club”Time's Mouth by Edan LepuckiCalifornia by Edan LepuckiWoman No. 17 by Edan LepuckiMother's Before by Edan LepuckiItalics Mine Substack by Edan LepuckiAnne of Green Gables by L.M.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son is really the parable of two brothers: one who's ruled by unchecked desire, and the other who's ruled by legalism and pride. I think a lot of us can resonate with both brothers. We feel torn between what we want to do and what we ought to do. But God designed these two things to be united within us! Using this parable as a framework, my friend Heidi White joins me again to talk about how we can not only do what's right but also desire what's right ... and find true freedom and joy as a result. The Divided Soul: Duty and Desire in Literature and Life by Heidi White  Anne of Green Gables by L.M.

Send us a textWelcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. The summer I turned twelve years old, I was so sad when I finished all of the Anne of Green Gables books that were readily available at that time. This was in the 1970s, well before the resurgence of Anne's popularity. But I LOVED L. M. Montgomery's writing, and I longed to read other things she had written. So, I looked in the tall card catalog of the Salt Lake City Public Library and found one more book written by L. M. Montgomery. It was called The Story Girl, and the card catalog entry said there was “one copy in Old and Rare.” Several times that summer, I took the city bus by myself across town to the main library and crept down the old cement stairs to the bottom floor of the building where the Old and Rare department was housed. While the temperature soared outside, I spent a couple of hours every day reading The Story Girl in the cool library basement. Since then, I have read many other stories by Ms. Montgomery, but none enchanted me more than that old and rare copy I was so pleased to discover. Here are chapters 4, 5, and 6, of The Story Girl. In today's episode, you will hear about Peter's first time in church and his experiences there, as well as a contest to see who can gather the most money for a most worthy cause: to fund a school library!Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life! Let me know what you think! Please send an email to me at kluker@marshallpl.org. I'd love to hear from you!

Tonight, we'll read the 29th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “An Epoch of Anne's Life”. In the last episode, Anne and her friends reenact the poem The Lady of Shalott by floating Anne down the river in a flatboat. She pretends to be the doomed lily maid, but the boat begins to leak and sinks. Anne is forced to climb onto the bridge supports and wait for help. Gilbert Blythe happens by in a rowboat and rescues her. Though still upset with him for past teasing, Anne reluctantly accepts the ride. Gilbert tries to reconcile and apologizes, but Anne coldly rebuffs him. Despite the dramatic mishap, Anne later admits the adventure was romantic. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Send us a textWelcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Lucy Maud Montgomery, who wrote Anne of Green Gables, also wrote a delightful book about Sara Stanley, better known as the Story Girl. Told from the perspective of Beverley, one of two brothers who have come to stay on a farm with their aunts and uncles and cousins while their father is away, this book takes place on Prince Edward Island in Canada. In this first episode, we meet Felix and Beverley and get to know some of the rest of the characters. Felix and Beverley's father was raised in this old homestead, and all their lives, the boys have heard stories of the old orchard where they each have a special tree, the deep well with its little blue cup to drink from, and other tales that have become part of their heritage. Even though the boys have heard of these places all their lives, the reality is even better than their imaginations. Best of all are their cousins, including the Story Girl, who promise wonderful adventures and friendships.Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.Listening to audiobooks really does count as reading, and there's no better way to relax than to hear Stories Come to Life!

Tonight, we'll read the 28th chapter of “Anne of Green Gables”, the classic 1908 novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This chapter is titled “An Unfortunate Lily Maid” In the last episode, Marilla returns home one spring evening thrilled by the season's promise, only to discover there's no fire, no tea—and no Anne. After fuming in the kitchen and questioning Matthew, she fetches a candle in Anne's room and finds her hiding tearfully among the pillows. Anne confesses she spent her chicken-money on a peddler's hair dye, hoping for raven-black locks but ending up with a ghastly green mane. When daily washings fail, Marilla decrees the only cure is to cut Anne's hair off, leaving her shingled head looking “like a scarecrow.” In the aftermath, Anne resolves to be good instead of vain, and Marilla—even amid her headaches—admits she rather enjoys Anne's lively chatter. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
