[ad_1]
After retirement, author Maria L. Carr enjoys spending time in her gardens, doing volunteer work, and research. She has worked as a volunteer at the Stockbridge Library, Museum & Archives doing numerous projects, including writing and editing their bi-monthly newsletter, “Now & Then,” for eleven years. She also enjoys doing genealogy research and has served as the Historian for the Baker Family Association since 2003, where she has compiled an extensive genealogy of the Baker family. She is a past member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Colonial Dames and a current member of the Magna Carta Association and Mayflower Association.
“Stockbridge, Massachusetts, a small town located in the southern portion of Berkshire County, has a varied and fascinating history,” writes Carr. “Some of which are found in the form of monuments, plaques, and markers that honor the events and people that helped shape the town into what it has become today. This book is a compilation of those monuments, plaques, and markers, and the history behind them.”
Published by Fulton Books, Maria L. Carr’s book was inspired by the author’s lifelong passion for local history, especially the history of the Interlaken portion of the town of Stockbridge. Through publishing her incredibly detailed and dedicated research, Carr hopes to transport readers to Stockbridge, and share its incredibly rich history with the world, while inspiring readers to get involved in learning about their own local history.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Marking Stockbridge’s Past” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Tina Vincent has released "Christina Fullofjoy in the Land of Fruit Jars," a children’s book centered on a young girl piecing together why her town no longer resembles the place her grandmother once described, published through Christian Faith Publishing.
The story follows Christina, described in the publisher’s synopsis as sweet-spirited and playful, as she recalls her grandmother’s stories about a community built around enormous, beautiful fruit jars and the joy that once surrounded them. Puzzled by how much has changed, she sets out to understand what happened. Her search leads her to Lamb, an elf-like companion, and to a set of unusual seeds that the synopsis describes as turning out to be the answer the town needed without anyone realizing it.
According to the publisher, the book uses that central friendship and mystery to explore trust and spiritual growth, framing Christina’s discovery as a lesson in believing in what can’t be seen. Vincent, characterized in the release as an entrepreneur, speaker, mother and grandmother, created the book to fill what she perceived as a void in children’s publishing.
"My desire with this story is to kindle a flame of faith in young hearts," Vincent said in the announcement. "I want children to understand that believing in things not seen is not only possible—it’s beautiful and necessary for walking closely with the Lord."
The book is categorized as juvenile fiction and is available through bookstores and major online retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through the publisher’s website.
Studio CarryOnHarry notes that faith-based children’s fiction built around a mystery-and-friendship structure, rather than direct allegory, tends to land well with the age group it’s aimed at — worth watching how this one is received by young readers and the parents buying it for them.

J.B. Richardson has published "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend," a children’s book that follows a young girl navigating bullying and social exclusion at school, according to an announcement from Christian Faith Publishing, which released the book.
The story centers on Sally, a girl whose kindness and gentle nature initially make her a target in a school environment the book describes as rewarding harshness over compassion. Richardson says he based the character on his own eldest daughter, who experienced bullying, and wrote the book for parents looking to help children through similar situations.
The narrative follows Sally as she weighs whether to change herself to fit in or hold onto her own nature, a tension the announcement frames as the book’s central question. Richardson, described in the announcement as a husband and father, says his own experiences with adversity and his path toward what he calls spiritual transformation shaped how he wrote Sally’s struggle.
"I wrote this book to show children that being kind, loving, and true to yourself is never a mistake," Richardson said in the announcement. "When we anchor our identities in faith rather than peer approval, we discover a strength that no amount of bullying can diminish."
The publisher describes the book as aimed at validating children’s experiences with social struggle while pointing them toward faith as a source of resilience. "Sally’s First Day of School: And Her New Best Friend" is available through bookstores and major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-based children’s books addressing bullying, a topic that remains a persistent concern for parents and educators alike regardless of genre.
