false 2688865 2 A testament to the power of stories, and how they may bring hope even in times of darkness."Everyone gathers around, and from her lips to their ears the stories go, and for a little while the camp disappears, and for a little while they are all free."As night falls, the women gather their children to listen to Mara tell her stories. They are stories of light and hope and freedom, stories of despair and stories of miracles, stories of expected pain and stories of unexpected joy--all told in the darkness of the concentration camp barracks. Through extensive research noted in the back of the book, Gary Schmidt has skillfully woven together stories from such sources as the Jewish religious scholar, Martin Buber, Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel; and folklorists, Steve Zeitlin and Yaffa Eliach.Combining lore of the past with tales born in the concentration camps, Mara's stories speak to us from a time that must never be forgotten. 2714191 1 10 2001 Mara's Stories: Glimmers in the Darkness total:12|5:4|4:4|3:2|2:2|1:0| 12 46 19 4 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 4 0 false Tue Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 14:56:40 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 04:36:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 5 0 false Thu Jan 08 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 17:17:24 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 17:17:24 -0800 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 3 0 false Wed Sep 03 16:06:19 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 03:54:56 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Thu Feb 21 15:01:35 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 22 06:47:30 -0800 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 4 0 false Sat Oct 31 01:17:02 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 01:17:06 -0700 2009 5974684 0312373880 9780312373887 1 0 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5974684.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Thu Aug 13 21:38:58 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 21:38:58 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 4 0 false Tue Jul 28 09:06:07 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 09:06:07 -0700 2009 5974684 0312373880 9780312373887 1 0 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5974684.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Sun Jul 05 14:13:39 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 14:13:39 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 2 0 false Sun Jun 28 06:12:11 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 06:12:11 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Fri Jun 26 07:14:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 26 07:14:53 -0700 2009 5974684 0312373880 9780312373887 1 0 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5974684.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 5 0 false Mon Jun 15 19:58:06 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 19:58:06 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 2 0 false Thu May 21 12:21:44 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 12:21:44 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 5 0 false Thu May 14 21:13:04 -0700 2009 Thu May 14 21:13:04 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 3 0 false Tue May 12 06:23:07 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 06:23:07 -0700 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 4 0 false Mon Jan 12 19:58:52 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 16:09:15 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 19:58:52 -0800 2009 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Sat Nov 01 10:53:03 -0700 2008 Sun Nov 30 21:26:42 -0800 2008 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Sat Aug 09 16:34:02 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 16:34:02 -0700 2008 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 0 0 false Fri Jul 25 07:26:27 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 07:26:27 -0700 2008 2688865 0805067949 9780805067941 11 4 3.83 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2688865.Mara_s_Stories_Glimmers_in_the_Darkness 5 0 false Thu Feb 21 15:25:29 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 15:25:29 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2688865
