As a national network of roads spread across Canada, so did the practice of hitchhiking. Thumbing a Ride examines its rise and fall in the 1970s, drawing on records from the time. Many equated adventure travel with freedom and independence, but a counter-narrative emerged of girls gone missing and other dangers. Town councillors, community groups, and motorists demanded a clampdown on a transient youth movement they believed was spreading anti-establishment nomadism. Linda Mahood asks new questions about hitchhiking as a rite of passage, and about adult intervention that turned a subculture into a pressing moral and social issue.

From 1939 to 1943, 185 refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe found refuge at Scattergood, a temporary hostel in what had been a Quaker boarding school near West Branch, Iowa. Among them were Jews, political opponents of Hitler's regime, religious figures, professionals, merchants, journalists, artists, elderly women, single young men, students, and children. With the help of Iowa Quaker farmers and idealistic college kids, the refugees sought to overcome the trauma of their experiences in Europe, find a niche for themselves and build a new life in their New World. This book examines the refugees' backgrounds, their flight from Europe, and their attempt to integrate into America. This is a story of unimaginable loss and unexpected gain, of the rediscovery of hope and genuine kindness, of generosity of spirit, and of love freely given. It is a story that holds out an ideal to refresh world-weary post modems and restores our eroded faith in human decency.

The Mango Bloom: Managing a Missionary Children's Hostel in Zaire Maturity shaped by unusual forces in an uncommon place. Heeding a call for Christian service, the author and his wife headed for Africa with youthful vigor, high expectations and a three-month-old daughter. Their assignment: to manage a residence for twenty missionary teens in Kinshasa, Zaire. They had no idea what was waiting for them: a demanding set of circumstances that confounded their expectations and tested their limits. Unforeseen challenges to growth assailed both managers and youth in the exotic setting. Together they crafted a distinctive "third culture." The unique life style they created influenced the "mango bloom," a tropical metaphor for the critical stage of development that precedes formation of mature fruit. This memoir describes the processes and forces that affected hostel residents - adults and teens - in that place and time, the mid-1970s, experiences that flowered into maturity. The author's reflections woven into the narrative inspire readers to consider the factors that have shaped their lives. "Our bloom is gone. We are the fruit thereof." - Wallace Stevens.

An outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of crime that aroused Hercule Poirot's interest. But when he saw the list of stolen and vandalized items - including a stethoscope, some old flannel trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup - he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a 'unique and beautiful problem'. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But, reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was everyone at the hostel so frightened?

Normally, a mere outbreak of petty thefts in a youth hostel wouldn’t be enough to interest the great detective Hercule Poirot. However, the warden of the hostel is sister to Poirot’s secretary Miss Lemon, and concern for her sister is interfering with Miss Lemon’s typing abilities. Poirot finds himself with an intriguing puzzle on his hands, and before long, murder increases the mystery. The fastidious Belgian sleuth is brought to life by the voice of veteran British actor Hugh Fraser.
