Book excerpt: This poignant family saga comes alive in Charleston, South Carolina, during the 1940s. The touching story of hardships and successes unravels through the roots and connections of family. Catherine is an innocent optimist who believes in the triumphs of good throughout the world. She falls in love with and marries Carter Duvall, a gentle, caring soul who joins the Army straight out of college. Carter struggles with demons from his childhood and increasingly becomes consumed with his past. He succumbs to alcohol to fight his anguish, and the horrendous addiction subsequently brings shame and disgrace to him, Catherine and their family. Overcome with debt and despair, Catherine gathers the pieces to reassemble the lives of her cherished clan. A harrowing calamity, snarled emotions and love are intertwined to illustrate that no barrier is large enough to dissolve the devotion, unity and pride of family.

Download or read book Taste the Wild Wonder written by John Mark Green and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-31 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Taste the Wild Wonder, fresh new poetic voice John Mark Green takes the reader on a transformative journey, awakening the heart to see the world with new eyes. This imaginative collection explores life, mortality, meaning, creativity, love, wonder, and nature, through the windows of 71 poems and 11 interior illustrations. These poems are infused with what the Japanese call yūgen - "a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe ... and the sad beauty of human suffering" (Benito Ortolani), and wabi-sabi - the beauty of impermanent, imperfect, and transient things. Since 2014, John Mark Green has grown a worldwide following for his poetry on social media. This is his first book. From the back cover Born of the ancient star remnants in our bones and nameless longings of the human heart, this poetry collection explores the firefly flicker of existence amidst the vast reaches of time and space. Capturing feelings of awe and aching beauty which stir the imagination, it illuminates our brief but glorious moment on life's stage. Imbued with the knowledge that everything we hold beautiful is inexorably slipping through our fingers, these poems are trail markers on a journey of awakening to the wild wonder which surrounds us, leading readers on a whirlwind tour of our place in the grand tapestry of nature, with a perspective which both dazzles and delights. Praise for Taste the Wild Wonder "John Mark Green writes with soul and weaves poetry from love and bones and fire. His new book is art and includes illustrations that complement the words beautifully." Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed Are the Weird - A Manifesto for Creatives
