Book excerpt: The sequel to the New York Times–bestselling and National Book Award longlisted Walk on Earth a Stranger. After her harrowing journey west to California, Lee Westfall has finally found a new home—one rich in gold, thanks to her magical power, a power that seems to be changing every day. But this home is rich in other ways, too: with friends who are searching for a place to be themselves, just as she is, and with love. Jefferson—her longtime best friend—hasn’t stopped trying to win her heart. And Lee is more and more tempted to say yes. But her uncle Hiram hasn’t given up his quest to get Lee and her power under his control. When she’s kidnapped and taken to him, Lee sees firsthand the depths of her uncle’s villainy. Yet Lee’s magic is growing. Gold no longer simply sings to her, it listens. It obeys her call. Is it enough to destroy her uncle once and for all? Rae Carson, acclaimed author of the Girl of Fire and Thorns series, takes us deep into the gold fields as she continues this sweeping saga of magic and history, and an unforgettable heroine who must come into her own. Like a River Glorious is the second book in the Gold Seer trilogy.
Download or read book Women Writers of the American West 1833 1927 written by Nina Baym and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women Writers of the American West, 1833–1927 recovers the names and works of hundreds of women who wrote about the American West during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, some of them long forgotten and others better known novelists, poets, memoirists, and historians such as Willa Cather and Mary Austin Holley. Nina Baym mined literary and cultural histories, anthologies, scholarly essays, catalogs, advertisements, and online resources to debunk critical assumptions that women did not publish about the West as much as they did about other regions. Elucidating a substantial body of nearly 650 books of all kinds by more than 300 writers, Baym reveals how the authors showed women making lives for themselves in the West, how they represented the diverse region, and how they represented themselves. Baym accounts for a wide range of genres and geographies, affirming that the literature of the West was always more than cowboy tales and dime novels. Nor did the West consist of a single landscape, as women living in the expanses of Texas saw a different world from that seen by women in gold rush California. Although many women writers of the American West accepted domestic agendas crucial to the development of families, farms, and businesses, they also found ways to be forceful agents of change, whether by taking on political positions, deriding male arrogance, or, as their voluminous published works show, speaking out when they were expected to be silent.

Download or read book Hiram s Way written by Harold Kelman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hiram Kauffman is an internationally noted figure in academic psychology, having achieved a full professorship at Yale. Never married and tightly focused on his work, he assigns a lesser priority to family. An exception is a yearly Thanksgiving Day dinner hosted in his New Haven apartment. Present are his sister Hannah, also never married and a New York Public Library administrator, and his brother Harris, a business writer married to Laura with two sons: Samuel is a rabbi with wife Ruth and two little girls; Michael is a science reporter for The New York Times. That’s the background as the novelized memoir’s anchor character approaches his 69th birthday. Currently a professor emeritus, he continues to teach and mentor Ph.D. candidates including Lynne Davidowe, later romantically involved with Michael. Following a period of not feeling well, Hiram is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor that doctors expect will end his life in 12 to 18 months. How the impending death of the Kauffman family’s patriarch impacts the “great man” himself and all those around him consumes the major portion of the book. Although early chapters may suggest otherwise, this is not a “downer” of a story. On the contrary, “Hiram’s Way” spotlights how relationships are generally impacted for the better during major life crises.
