Cain creates a novel of acute social observation and devasting emotional violence, with a heroine whose ambitions and sufferings are never less than recognizable. Mildred Pierce had gorgeous legs, a way with a skillet, and a bone-deep core of toughness. She used those attributes to survive a divorce and poverty and to claw her way out of the lower middle class. But Mildred also had two weaknesses: a yen for shiftless men, and an unreasoning devotion to a monstrous daughter.

Book excerpt: The saga of the Logan family--made famous in the Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry--concludes in a deeply fulfilling story, now available in paperback. In her tenth book, Mildred Taylor completes her sweeping saga about the Logan family of Mississippi, which is also the story of the civil rights movement in America of the 20th century. Cassie Logan, first met in Song of the Trees and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, is a young woman now, searching for her place in the world, a journey that takes her from Toledo to California, to law school in Boston, and, ultimately, in the 60s, home to Mississippi to participate in voter registration. She is witness to the now-historic events of the century: the Great Migration north, the rise of the civil rights movement, preceded and precipitated by the racist society of America, and the often violent confrontations that brought about change. Rich, compelling storytelling is Ms. Taylor's hallmark, and she fulfills expectations as she brings to a close the stirring family story that has absorbed her for over forty years. It is a story she was born to tell.
Book Synopsis Mildred Budge in Cloverdale by : Daphne Simpkins
Download or read book Mildred Budge in Cloverdale written by Daphne Simpkins and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first full-length follow-up to Miss Budge in Love, Simpkins explores some of the challenges Miss Mildred Budge faces as she attempts to settle into retirement in the garden district of Montgomery, Alabama, Cloverdale. Readers will be thrilled to find that this novel contains all of the humor and the Southern flavor of her earlier short story collection but with added intrigue and story depth that only novel-length work can provide. Simpkins presents comfortable stories and relatable characters that are deceptively deep and complex, but while you may stop to consider some of the issues of faith and aging explored here, the people and situations are just as likely to make you laugh out loud. This first novel in the projected series is highly recommended for the light-of-heart and deep-of-faith. Mildred Budge In Cloverdale is the first book in this series and was originally published as Cloverdale.
Book Synopsis Resisting Hitler by : Shareen Blair Brysac
Download or read book Resisting Hitler written by Shareen Blair Brysac and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-23 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This gripping and heartbreaking narrative is the first full account of an American woman who gave her life in the struggle against the Nazi regime. As members of a key resistance group, Mildred Harnack and her husband, Arvid, assisted in the escape of German Jews and political dissidents, and for years provided vital economic and military intelligence to both Washington and Moscow. But in 1942, following a Soviet blunder, the Gestapo arrested, tortured, and tried some four score members of the Harnacks' group, which the Nazis dubbed the Red Orchestra. Mildred Fish-Harnack was guillotined in Berlin on February 16, 1943, on the personal instruction of Adolf Hitler--she was the only American woman to be executed as an underground conspirator during World War II. Yet as the war ended and the Cold War began, her courage, idealism, and self-sacrifice went largely unacknowledged in America and the democratic West, and were distorted and sanitized in the Communist East. Only now, with the opening of long-sealed archives from Germany, the KGB, the CIA, and the FBI, can the full story be told. In this superbly told life of an unjustly forgotten woman, Shareen Blair Brysac depicts the human side of a controversial resistance group that for too long has been portrayed as merely a Soviet espionage network.
