Download or read book Dawn's Early Light written by Elswyth Thane and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elswyth Thane is best known for her Williamsburg series, seven novels published between 1943 and 1957 that follow several generations of two families from the American Revolution to World War II. Dawn's Early Light is the first novel in the series. In it, Colonial Williamsburg comes alive. Thane centers her novel around four major characters: the Aristrocratic St. John Sprague, who becomes George Washington's aide; Regina Greensleeves, a Virginia beauty spoiled by a season in London; Julian Day, a young schoolmaster who arrives from England on the eve of the war and initially thinks of himself as a Tory; and Tibby Mawes, one of his less fortunate pupils, saddled with an alcoholic father and an indigent mother. But we also see Washington, Jefferson, Lafayette, Greene, Patrick Henry, Francis Marion, and the rest of that brilliant galaxy playing their roles not as historical figures but as men. We see de Kalb's gallant death under a cavalry charge at Camden. We penetrate to the swamp-encircled camp which was Marion's stronghold on the Peedee. We watch the cat-and-mouse game between Cornwallis and Lafayette, which ended in Cornwallis's unlucky stand at Yorktown. Dawn's Early Light is the human story behind our first war for liberty, and of the men and women loving and laughing through it to the dawn of a better world.

Download or read book Stranger to the Truth written by Lisa C. Hickman and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a privileged, eighteen year old end up in prison, convicted of one of the rarest of crimes--matricide? The literary nonfiction Stranger to the Truth explores the fatal intersection in the lives of Noura Jackson, her circle of dissolute Memphis friends, and the death of Nouras mother, Jennifer, on the eve of a popular outdoor festival. The brutal attack seemed to reflect personal and exponential rage. Tragedy stalked Noura. Her father was fatally shot when she was seventeen. A mystery never solved. A year later an auto accident claimed her best friend. Both mother and daughter were reeling from shock, grief, and confusion. The tension between them escalated until Nouras difficult teenage years yielded to something much darker. More than a whodunit, this fact-based account tells a spellbinding tale of impetuous youth and a single parent who too late assumes the role of disciplinarian, saying no to the demands of her daughter who will not listen. Weaving multiple points of view, back stories, and extensive research, Stranger to the Truth corrals a timely, complex story in an absorbing narrative. Praise for Stranger to the Truth In Stranger to the Truth, Ms. Hickman has taken a local tragedy and, with eloquence and empathy, given it universal application. The reader will find not only a gripping story, but also a moving exploration of the shadows that dwell within us all. --Howard Bahr, author of The Black Flower, The Year of Jubilo, and The Judas Field

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 5 of The Williamsburg Series. This is the adventures of the twins Calvert and Camilla Scott from the First World War through 1934. Both of them go overseas, Camilla to act as nurse's aid in the hospitals run by her cousins in London and Gloucestershire. Calvert to serve briefly on the crew of a big gun. Chiefly it is Camilla's story, her futile love for a Frenchman; her involvement in the stormy passions of Jenny and the American who - with Calvert - had managed to survive the destruction of the gun crew, and who nearly lost his life thereafter. The threads of previous stories are fitted into place, gathering momentum, seeming to build up into a love story between the duke's daughter and the poor mechanic. And in the last quarter, death and disaster; a brief interlude between Camilla and a young Nazi; and the story ends with two matings, and the build-up for World War II.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth volume in the Williamsburg series, this is a satisfying return to the Spragues and the Days - again from Williamsburg and New York, to London and Farthingale. The best of the series since The Light Heart, a good yarn with pace and momentum, and a gratifying gathering up of the threads in the years leading up to World War II. Sue has gone; Jeff is her heir, the surviving male Day. And the story interest shifts back and forth from Jeff, fearful that a bad heart will play him false, and Sylvia, his cousin, willing to take that chance, to Evadne, caught in the meshes of Moral Rearmament, Hermione, difficult and unpleasant as ever (or more so) and Sylvia's brother, Stephen, who loves Evadne on sight, but finds her intractable and headstrong during a difficult year and more. There's a feel of England on verge of war, and one mad sortie into a fanatical Germany, where Evadne goes on a "mission". But the main lure of the story lies in meeting again the wide-flung members of an attractive family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destined to go down as one of the era's most astonishing global art projects, the Brooklyn Art Library's Sketchbook Project has, in less than a decade, amassed more than thirty thousand sketchbooks submitted by people of all ages and artistic abilities from more than 130 countries. Bursting with color, vivid imagery, and bouts of whimsy mixed with deeply intimate insights, the sketchbooks capture the texture of personal experience in a dizzying variety of illustrative styles and layouts that run the gamut from street portraits to stream-of-consciousness doodles, comics, and pop-ups. The Sketchbook Project World Tour presents the most compelling, surprising, and visually stunning examples from this one-of-a-kind artistic treasury.

There's something going on in Williamsburg besides the war, and Sarah Moore is determined to find out what. Sarah knows that her Uncle Ethan is against slavery, so why did she see him buying three slaves? She also knows that no one lives in the little brown house on Waller Street, but she has seen lights there. And why does she keep hearing "John 3:19" being whispered on the streets? Since she committed her life to God, Sarah has tried to mend her headstrong ways. Her curiosity still gets the better of her, however, and she once again finds herself right in the middle of the mysterious activities of Williamsburg. Wanda Luttrell was raised and still lives on the banks of Stoney Creek, Sarah's Kentucky home. Wanda enjoys reading, photography, and traveling. She and her husband have shared their home on Stoney Creek with their five children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to claim your space in a world that’s ending? Sarah M. Sala’s Devil’s Lake breaks open the American moment of unchecked gun violence, climate changes, and the growing rift between "us" and "them" with formal daring. Like a prism, this startling debut fractures into shades of possibility and memory, queering science, nature, and form to lay bare the colors of joy despite a world that seems intent on its destruction.
