FELICITY - HARD TIMES, HAPPY DAYS is a tribute to the courage, spirit, and kindness of a remarkable woman. She and her family were neither giants of industry nor people of singular accomplishments, but they, like millions of others like them, who struggled to survive hard times, were the back bone of this growing nation. Hard work and family bonds helped them make ends meet and get by through difficult times. They represent the indomitable spirit that built America. While the book is about overcoming difficulties and tragic events well before our more comfortable modern age, it is a book of hope, filled with delightful stories of growing up when life was simpler, and countless humorous adventures in the struggle to simply survive in more rugged times. Felicity and her family’s story of hope, struggle and endurance during the difficult years between 1903 and WWII will serve as an inspiration to anyone who reads the book. For despite those difficult years she never lost her sense of fun and adventure, and enjoyed life to its fullest - always maintaining a half-cup-full attitude. ----------------- This book is a tapestry of the life and times of the people who came before us. I could hear my family in your words, and watch them struggle with both success and failure. Felicity - Hard Times, Happy Days is a heartwarming story about a woman we can all relate to and love. She had the kind of courage, determination and love of family that helped shape our nation ... it’s a wonderful story! Brian Ratty Author of the Dutch Clarke series

One of the most widely read and studied texts composed in Late Antiquity is the prison diary of Vibia Perpetua, a young woman of the elite classes who was martyred in March of the year 202 or 203 C.E. in Carthage, as part of a civic celebration honoring Caesar Geta. She was well-married and had recently become the mother of a baby son, but despite her advantages, she refused to recant her faith when she was arrested with other recent converts to Christianity. Imprisoned with her was her pregnant slave Felicity. Perpetua's steadfastness in her belief led to her martyrdom in the amphitheater. A description of the heroic deaths of both women, and the autobiography of one of the leaders of the Christian community, Saturus, is woven into Perpetua's diary by an anonymous editor, who tells us that, as they died, Perpetua, Felicity, and the other condemned Christians bid farewell with a kiss of peace.This unique and precious text survives in one Greek and in nine Latin manuscript versions. Thomas Heffernan's new study contains much that has never been done before, including a prosopography of all the individuals mentioned in the Passion, a new English translation and the first detailed historical commentary in English on the entire narrative of the Passion. It also includes a newly edited version of the Latin text based on all the extant manuscripts and - rarer still - the Greek text. He concludes the book with a complete codicological description of all of the known manuscripts and thorough scholarly indices of the text itself. Perpetua's prison diary is a revered text of early Christianity, and Heffernan's new translation and commentary brings unprecedented scholarly resources to the much-loved Passion.
