Unlike guides that take a simple geographic-chronological approach to listing historical fiction, this book takes a genre approach, with chapters devoted to historical romances, mysteries, adventures, etc. By grouping titles by subgenre and theme, and describing their features and plots, it guides users to similar titles and read-alikes. Focusing on English-language novels published since the mid '90s, plus the perennial favorites commonly available in libraries, it details 3,800 books set in times prior to the mid-20th century. Appendices contain lists of award-winning titles and targeted reading lists. Detailed indexes are available for authors, titles, subjects, time/place, and character names. An essential guide for readers' advisors and other professionals who guide readers in book selection, this book will also aid in collection development.
Recent burgeoning reader interest in historical fiction has created a tremendous outpouring of historical novels from the publishing world. While there are several guides devoted to historical novels, they take a simple geographic-chronological approach, and do not organize titles in a way that effectively matches reading preferences. In contrast, this book takes a genre approach to historical fiction, with chapters devoted to historical romances, historical mysteries, historical adventures, and so forth. By grouping titles by subgenre and theme, and describing their features and plots, the book will guide users to similar titles and read-alikes. Focusing on English-language novels published since the mid '90s plus the perennial favorites commonly available in libraries, this book guides you and your patrons to more than 3,800 books set in times prior to the mid-20th century and in which historical events play an integral role. Chapters are organized according to subgenre and type, i.e., traditional, epics, romance, sagas, westerns, crime, adventure, thrillers, literary, inspirational, time-slip, alternate histories, and fantasy. Within chapters, Johnson further groups the titles according to sub-subgenres and time/place. In addition to bibliographic information and brief plot summaries, you'll find information on award winners, biographical novels, classics, and indications of titles appropriate for young adults and book groups. Appendixes contain lists of award-winning titles and targeted reading lists (e.g., historical fiction featuring Latinos). Further access to the titles is provided by detailed indexes for authors, titles, subjects, time/place, and character names.

It will also help you find fiction titles set in particular times and places to complement curriculum needs or meet specific areas of interest.

Conflicts with colleagues . . . The death of an employee . . . Personal devastation . . . Disruptive culture . . . Threats of violence . . . Lack of funds . . . Fear.
You may be facing one—or all—of these challenges, and yet as a leader, you are called to be the one who guides, encourages, and equips others to be their best. Without a solid foundation, it will be difficult, if not impossible to stand up to these inevitable challenges, much less lead your people well. 
In Lead with FAITH, Sarah L. Johnson offers a practical framework for leadership that will strengthen and steady you as you face the giants in your path. You’ll discover how FAITH can help you lead with grace and courage when you are Free to be authentic, Affirmed in your purpose, Intentional in your efforts, willing to embrace Transformation, and brave enough to lead with your Heart. 
In a culture that seeks to dilute the power of personal faith, the stories and guidance in Lead with FAITH will embolden you to rise up, slay fear, and serve well. 
“In Lead with FAITH, Sarah Johnson empowers readers to live aligned with their own story and to lead confidently with faith at work, at home, and in life.” —Thomas C. Murray, author of Personal &amp; Authentic, director of innovation, Future Ready Schools “Wherever you are on your journey, Johnson will inspire you to lead with more faith and less fear as you affirm your purpose in your daily work and life.” —Jimmy Casas, educator, author, speaker, leadership coach “Lead with FAITH is full of Scripture, heart-wrenching stories, and useful tools that have readers making connections to their own lives and embarking on a journey of self-reflection.” —Allyson Apsey, principal and author of Through the Lens of Serendipity
