She loves him-but what about her traditions? Worse, suddenly Ben has questions-the kind that have him putting their wedding on hold. Ben loves Marianna, but he has regrets-and fears-that are suddenly getting in the way of his happy ending. He doubts he's going to "hear from God" in the high mountains like Marianna's father suggests. But sure, he'll go... But he might not return. Because high on the continental divide, trouble finds them. Now, it'll take a miracle for Ben, Abe, and Abe's brother, Ike, to make it down alive. Maybe Ben will hear from God after all...but if he does, can he become the man he needs to be to save them...and keep Marianna's heart? When a runaway horse with a bloody saddle shows up, not only is the media alerted, but Marianna fears she'll lose them all-her uncle, her father, and her beloved Ben. Suddenly she doesn't care what the wedding looks like...as long as Ben makes it home. But is there more to Ben than she knows? And when she discovers his secrets, what sacrifices will she make to save...and marry...the man she loves? Fall in love with the first book in the cherished Big Sky Amish Collection.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Mountains by : Drew A. Swanson
Download or read book Beyond the Mountains written by Drew A. Swanson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Mountains explores the ways in which Appalachia often served as a laboratory for the exploration and practice of American conceptions of nature. The region operated alternately as frontier, wilderness, rural hinterland, region of subsistence agriculture, bastion of yeoman farmers, and place to experiment with modernization. In these various takes on the southern mountains, scattered across time and space, both mountain residents and outsiders consistently believed that the region's environment made Appalachia distinctive, for better or worse. With chapters dedicated to microhistories focused on particular commodities, Drew A. Swanson builds upon recent Appalachian studies scholarship, emphasizing the diversity of a region so long considered a homogenous backwater. While Appalachia has a recognizable and real coherence rooted in folkways, agriculture, and politics (among other things), it is also a region of varied environments, people, and histories. These discrete stories are, however, linked through the power of conceptualizing nature and work together to reveal the ways in which ideas and uses of nature often created a sense of identity in Appalachia. Delving into the environmental history of the region reveals that Appalachian environments, rather than separating the mountains from the broader world, often served to connect the region to outside places.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Mountains of the Damned by : Matthew McAllester
Download or read book Beyond the Mountains of the Damned written by Matthew McAllester and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2001-12-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2002, Non-Fiction The story of Pec—Kosovo's most destroyed city during the wars in Serbia For every survivor of a crime, there is a criminal who forces his way into the victim's thoughts long after the act has been committed. Reporters weren’t allowed into Kosovo during the war without the permission of the Yugoslavian government but Matthew McAllester went anyway. In Beyond the Mountains of the Damned he tells the story of Pec, Kosovo’s most destroyed city and the site of the earliest and worst atrocities of the war, through the lives of two men—one Serb and one Kosovar. They had known each other, and been neighbors for years before one visited tragedy on the other. With a journalist’s eye for detail McAllester asks the great question of war: What kind of men could devastate an entire city, killing whole families, and feel no sense of guilt? The answer lies in the culture of gangsterism and ethnic hatred that began with the collapse of Yugoslavia.

Over the years the children are shunted from one refugee camp to another, from Persia to Iraq and back again, and finally end up in an orphanage, where it seems that they will live out their childhood. Then a new orphanage director arrives -- Susan Shedd, a woman whose authority and energy Samira has never seen before. And Samira’s respect turns to amazement when Miss Shedd decides that she will take the three hundred children back to their home villages to make new lives for themselves. It will be a journey of three hundred miles, through the mountains, and it will be made on foot.

Download or read book Soleri written by Michael Johnston and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2017-06-13 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Johnston brings you the first in a new epic fantasy series inspired by ancient Egyptian history and King Lear. The ruling family of the Soleri Empire has been in power longer than even the calendars that stretch back 2,826 years. Those records tell a history of conquest and domination by a people descended from gods, older than anything in the known world. No living person has seen them for centuries, yet their grip on their four subjugate kingdoms remains tighter than ever. On the day of the annual eclipse, the Harkan king, Arko-Hark Wadi, sets off on a hunt and shirks his duty rather than bow to the emperor. Ren, his son and heir, is a prisoner in the capital, while his daughters struggle against their own chains. Merit, the eldest, has found a way to stand against imperial law and marry the man she desires, but needs her sister’s help, and Kepi has her own ideas. Meanwhile, Sarra Amunet, Mother Priestess of the sun god’s cult, holds the keys to the end of an empire and a past betrayal that could shatter her family. Detailed and historical, vast in scope and intricate in conception, Soleri bristles with primal magic and unexpected violence. It is a world of ancient and elaborate rites, of unseen power and kingdoms ravaged by war, where victory comes with a price, and every truth conceals a deeper secret. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
