Secrets
Too little money, a good-for-nothing ex-husband, a rebellious teenaged daughter and mother languishing in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's.Clea already has a lot on her plate when a mystery drops in her lap. To satisfy her curiosity about an unexplained photograph, she enlists the aid of Ren, an out-of-favor FBI agent. With him comes a new complication--an on-again, off-again romance. Together, or in spite of each other, they enter an increasingly dangerous but revealing web of secrets and lies. The underlying trials associated with Alzheimer's convey a subtle message to readers of Secrets--that is, talk to elderly and not-so-elderly relatives, ask about their lives, and learn the family stories which can and should be passed to younger generations. Waiting too long risks losing forever the personal histories that enrich memories and relationships.
Lady Jane's Miracle
A catastrophe outside the Vancouver Public Library has hurled Terri Jane McRae into the pages of a book she just read. To get out, she must decipher Dostoyevsky escapee Father Zossima's "miracle." If you have questions about creation, God, the universe, miracles, or what to wear at an 18th century French military ball, this is a great place to ask them.
Brookhaven
Brookhaven has long benefited from its prime location. With two creeks running through it and the well-traveled thoroughfare that became Peachtree Road, Brookhaven was a familiar place to Native Americans, Civil War soldiers, and early settlers like the Goodwin family, whose home became a railroad stop. Adjacent to the city of Atlanta, Brookhaven grew into a community of gracious neighborhoods, parks, and lakes and became home to Oglethorpe University. In 2013, Brookhaven became a city, and it continues to benefit and grow as businesses and families are attracted by its proximity to Atlanta.
A Changing Wind
In 1845 Atlanta was the last stop at the end of a railroad line, the home of just twelve families and three general stores. By the 1860s, it was a thriving Confederate city, second only to Richmond in importance. A Changing Wind is the first history to explore what it meant to live in Atlanta during its rapid growth, its devastation in the Civil War, and its rise as a “New South” city during Reconstruction. A Changing Wind brings to life the stories of Atlanta’s diverse citizens. In a rich account of residents’ changing loyalties to the Union and the Confederacy, the book highlights the unequal economic and social impacts of the war, General Sherman’s siege, and the stunning rebirth of the city in postwar years. The final chapter focuses on Atlanta’s collective memory of the Civil War, showing how racial divisions have led to differing views on the war’s meaning and place in the city’s history.
The Beloved Border
The Beloved Border is a potent and timely report on the U.S.-Mexico border. Though this book tells of the unjust death and suffering that occurs in the borderlands, Davidson gives us hope that the U.S.-Mexico border could be, and in many ways already is, a model for peaceful coexistence worldwide.
