Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jimtown Reminiscences While acknowledging that some things of to day are far superior to those of the past and beyond the wildest dreams of our childhood days, and that the needs of humanity make it imper ative that some things of yesterday be cast aside, yet it seems, whenever memory takes us back to where our childhood days are brought to View, or when we remember those who, by striving, succeeded in making the world what it is today, that there is a halo around the things of long ago. While these verses are disposed to be opti mistic, yet it does not necessarily follow that the author is always of the same disposition; on the contrary, many of the cheerful lines were written when the author had a bad case of the blues. However, after such effort the clouds have often drifted apart to let the sunlight in. If the read ing of these verses should help some fellow lab orer to bear his burden and perchance give him a broader View of life and cause him at times to reach down and lift up some soul that has be come discouraged; if in their publication the author should find just a few who understand.

Book excerpt: Growing up old school means that you lived in one of the greatest time periods in America to be a kid. It means that you played outside everyday, all day long and that you got dirty and hurt. You did things you weren't supposed to and you probably had some close calls but you lived through them; now those are the funny stories you tell of ""remember when."" It means that you were expected to eat SPAM and fried baloney. You probably got picked on by some bullies but you probably played plenty of pranks yourself. Your dad would let you sit on his lap and drive the car on back country roads. Your parents smoked, drank, cussed, and beat your butt when you deserved it. We had great music and played it loudly; we danced, and grew our hair long, and lived everyday like it might be our last. I think I've nearly perfectly exemplified what it was like growing up in the 60's and 70's. It is a journey that will evoke fond memories and once they are dusted off, I can guarantee that you will feel young again.

Book excerpt: A memoir of what it was like to be a teenager in a tumultuous era, from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Best of Us. Joyce Maynard was eighteen years old when her 1972 New York Times Magazine cover story catapulted her to national prominence. Published one year later, Looking Back is her remarkable follow-up—part memoir, part cultural history, and part social critique. She wrote about diving under her desk for air-raid practice during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and catching the first glimpse (on the cover of Life magazine) of a human fetus in utero. Extraordinarily frank, sincere, and opinionated, Maynard seemed unafraid to take on any subject—including herself. But as she reveals in a poignant and candid new foreword, she carefully kept her inner life off the page. She didn’t write about her difficult relationship with her mother, or her father’s alcoholism, or the fact that her best friend at college had struggled with the knowledge that he was gay. And she did not mention the most important part of her life at the time she was writing this book: her relationship with reclusive author J. D. Salinger, who read and corrected every page, even as he condemned her for writing it. In this special anniversary edition, Maynard’s candid introductory reflections on the girl behind the girl who wrote Looking Back lend a new dimension to this iconic analysis of a generation. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joyce Maynard including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

Book excerpt: In the lush North Carolina foothills, the Moon women have put down roots: matriarch Marvelle Moon, who’s losing her grip on the world after more than eighty years of life; her daughters, Ruth Ann and Cassandra; and Ruth Ann’s nineteen-year-old daughter, Ashley, fresh out of rehab, unmarried, and three months pregnant. Despite Ruth Ann’s best efforts to live a life that’s all her own, her family is coming together around her. Marvelle and Ashley need a place to live and Ruth Ann is unable to turn them away; and her womanizing ex-husband has been coming around again, dredging up the past. Now a flurry of outbursts, emotions, and outrages is shattering Ruth Ann’s separate peace. For here is Ashley, who has spent nineteen years running furiously away from home, now finding herself on a strange journey with her unraveling grandmother. And here is Cassandra, protected by layers of obesity and loneliness, wondering how to put magic back in her life. And Marvelle, slowly losing touch with reality, privately contemplating the story of her life and the secret that would change everything for everyone—if they only knew.... By turns fierce and tender, harrowing and heartbreaking, Moon Women resonates with emotional power, holding us captive under its beguiling spell.

Book excerpt: A moving, bittersweet tale reminiscent of Sharon Creech’s Walk Two Moons set in a West Virginia coal-mining town When her brother dies in a fire, Sasha Harless has no one left, and nowhere to turn. After her father died in the mines and her mother ran off, he was her last caretaker. They’d always dreamed of leaving Caboose, West Virginia together someday, but instead she’s in foster care, feeling more stuck and broken than ever. But then Sasha discovers family she didn’t know she had, and she finally has something to hold onto, especially sweet little Mikey, who’s just as broken as she is. Sasha even makes her first friend at school, and is slowly learning to cope with her brother’s death through writing poetry, finding a new way to express herself when spoken words just won’t do. But when tragedy strikes the mine her cousin works in, Sasha fears the worst and takes Mikey and runs, with no plans to return. In this sensitive and poignant portrayal, Sarah Dooley shows us that life, like poetry, doesn’t always take the form you intend.
