Book excerpt: Archie "A.B." and Ida Clements both grew up poor on farms in rural Southside Virginia, spending their formative years in the deprivation of the Great Depression, and their early adulthood during the heartache of World War II. Tom Brokaw called theirs "The Greatest Generation." Moses and Connie Clements just call them Mama and Daddy. In the world of A.B. and Miss Ida, integrity is the greatest virtue, economy is a way of life, and hard work is mandatory. The tales they have to tell are, in turn, inspirational, heartbreaking, and thoroughly entertaining. Their lives are a testament to the desire and force of will it takes to make a living in the good black soil of Tidewater, Virginia. Any Road: The Story of a Virginia Tobacco Farm is a series of short stories inspired by the lives of author Connie Clements Ellison's parents. Archie and Ida lived their lives based on faith, honesty, hard work, and humor as they strived for-and eventually achieved-the American Dream.
Download or read book Any Road written by Michael David Gholston and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a boy, I watched the evening news and witnessed the reports of the Tet Offensive and every other major combat operation. Even then, I realized that America should have walked away when it was obvious that no real peace progress could ever be achieved. Later, when Ohio National Guard soldiers killed innocent Kent State protestors, I was filled with rage and disgust at the military. In 1969, I was a freshman and desperately wanted to become part of the peace movement. Songs like 'Revolution' and 'Here Comes the Sun' were my favorites. In 1972, I turned eighteen and was required to register for the draft. I experienced an epiphany and decided that I wanted to become a world traveler and chronicle my experiences as a journalist. The only logical choice was to enlist in the US Navy as a journalist. If you're looking for a story about some guy who was the last American out of Saigon or who killed six insurgents trying to set up an IED in Mosul, Any Road is not the book you want. If you want to read about an ordinary man as much as any man can be called 'ordinary' trying to deal with PTSD, trying to reconcile his beliefs, and trying to serve his country as best he can under extraordinary circumstances, you will love this story. Michael Gholston's life illustrates just how uncommon the 'common soldier's' life can be. LTC James 'Doc' Crabtree US Army Historian

Download or read book The Road written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-03-20 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A searing, post-apocalyptic novel about a father and son's fight to survive, this "tale of survival and the miracle of goodness only adds to McCarthy's stature as a living master. It's gripping, frightening and, ultimately, beautiful" (San Francisco Chronicle). • From the bestselling author of The Passenger A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food—and each other. The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each the other's world entire," are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation. Look for Cormac McCarthy's latest bestselling novels, The Passenger and Stella Maris.
