Download or read book The Rosy Fingered Dawn Appeared written by W. Devereux Jones and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2006-06 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins in the emergency room in Corinth Hospital in 1967 where a slightly wounded professor is brought in by a friend. The local reporter tries to flesh out the story, but his editor kills it, and all that is clear is that there was some sort of duel. It introduces the three main mail characters, John Dobrov, Turner Ashby DeLay, and Charley Steinke. Then there is a flashback to 1952, and the novel follows the stories of the three who are brought together on the Georgia campus in 1961. The second chapter is set on the campus of Golden State University in California where the main character in the story, Evangeline Higginson, has founded the Rosy-Fingered Dawn Club, a small group of Coeds who anticipate an enlargement of the career opportunities for women. Hig is a beautiful woman, but, unlike most female leades, she has a flinty character, and her superior intelligence carefully analyzes all the situations she encounters. She is also an electra, and thus does not view the male sex with hostility. She rescues and completely remakes a crippled football player as a kind of hobby to alleviate her boredom. This leads to an unexpected marriage, and she has to put her own career on hold until her husband is settled in his profession. How does a liberated woman maintain her identity in wedlock? This is a continuing question during the 1960's. Her massive intelligence also grapples with an age-old question -- what is this thing called love? She believes that men marry for sex, women for companionship, and wonders if love is a myth devised by women to gild economic motives. Not until the final chapter does she find answers to these two questions that satisfy her. The football player she rescues, remakes, and marries is John Dobrov, a man's man of Czech background from Youngstown, Ohio. He regards his wife with awe, and is uttterly dominated by her in all areas until he meets a colleague, Turner Ashby DeLay, who is equal to his wife in intelligence, but has an entirely different reaction to contemporary developments, the integration crises, the women's movement, and the Vietnam War. Dobrov is a man with all the attitudes programmed into the male sex, and his marriage becomes a crescendo of clashes with his wife. A basic problem between them is one that is always overlooked in both novels and real life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandy, a middle aged woman, is reminiscing over what happened in the small farming community of northwestern New Mexico the year she was ten. Besides being the observer of the interactions, she played a role along with others, some innocent and some not so innocent, in the shaping of events. Tobus, her mother's cousin, yearned to find a girl to marry. Since he stuttered and had a slight mental disorder, he was fair game for taunting. Charley, the country store owner, delighted in making sport of Tobus until Ruby, Charley's sixteen year old daughter, suddenly took an interest in Tobus. Afraid of Charley's reaction to their intent, Tobus and Ruby married in secret, But since they dared not make known that they had wed, they had to live apart. Yet in that Ruby was the store clerk, they had the opportunity to talk when Tobus made trips to the store. Soon Charley began objecting to the attention Tobus was giving Ruby and threatened him. For a solution to their predicament, Ruby wanted for them to run away, and she thought she had Tobus convinced. But her plan went awry. The evening she had set for them to leave, Tobus hanged himself in the neighbor's barn. The reprecussions of Tobus' death intensified the already ongoing feud between Great-Aunt Ada, Tobus' mother and Charley. But despite the distaste one had for the other, each was destined to become the grandparent to the same baby.
