Download or read book The Locket written by Robert E. Emin and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the Old South, a land in which there were two classes, two institutions living side by side and yet apart. One was the aristocracy ruled by the privileged, the upper class, which appeared as being idyllic, romantic, and tranquil in nature but in reality was the opposite. The other was servitude, ruled by those who considered themselves superior. Leah is born the daughter of a slave, who dies from childbirth, and a white slave master. When she comes of age, Leah is sold and bought by John McKibben, who is so enthralled by the fair in color skinned three-year-old with eyes of steel blue. Brought to McKibbens home, Red River Plantation in New Orleans, Leah begins a life of servitude and placed in the care of house slave, Beulah. The two bond as mother and daughter, and Leah is shown favoritism, given special access to McKibbens children, Jay (Jared) and Margaret. As Jay and Leah mature, their feelings deepen for one another, and under the watchful eyes of others, a forbidden love emerges. After their failed attempt to marry and escape to Canada, Leah is sold again and separated from Jay. She has only a silver locket containing a picture and a lock of his hair to remember him by. With nothing but a promise of his return one day, Leah is alone to care for and raise their son, Jared. By the end of the Civil War, young Jared embarks on a personal journey in the wake of his mothers death to find out the truth of his father. What follows is a remarkable and emotional reunion that proves the powerful bonds of family. Emins coming of age tale of love set in a dark and pivotal period of American history is a meaningful one. With sparse dialogue and an accessible narrative, it explores an unjust society amidst a volatile landscape and its profound impact on love and family. It touches on themes of familial relationships, jealousy, freedom, loss, and discovery and is a reminder of our flawed pasts, as well as a testament that love truly does conquer all.

Download or read book Finding Myself Lost in Louisiana written by Keagan LeJeune and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2023-09-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Finding Myself Lost in Louisiana, author Keagan LeJeune brilliantly weaves the unusual folklore, landscape, and history of Louisiana along with his own family lineage that begins in 1760 to trace the trajectory of people’s lives in the Bayou State. His account confronts the challenging environmental record evident in Louisiana’s landscapes. LeJeune also celebrates and memorializes traditions of some underrepresented communities in Louisiana, communities that are vanishing or have vanished—communities including the author’s own. Each section in the memoir is a journey to a fascinating place, but it’s also a search for LeJeune’s own sense of belonging. The book is an adventure and a pilgrimage across Louisiana to explore its future and to reckon with feelings of loss and anxiety accompanying climate disasters. LeJeune travels to Louisiana’s geographic center to learn what waits there. He chases the ghosts of Hot Wells, a shuttered healing resort, and he kneels at the tomb of folk saint Charlene Richard. With every adventure, every memory, he ends up much closer to home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1878, Lady Katarina Sikova Nilsson Movila embarked on an adventure to leave behind the the vestiges of her home in Louisiana's heartland. She ran from a culture laced in rituals and traditions hundreds of years in the making and set out for a life away from the traps of titles and birthrights. She yearned to be a part of the new surge being built upon determination and freedom but she was quickly reminded of a woman's place in polite society. US Marshall John McDaniel set off to retire his star and get back to the land his father secured for the future generations of the McDaniel clan. His inquisitive nature put him first on a path to becoming a lawyer delayed by entrance into the Union Army only to be sidelined even more when he took the oath of office under the tutelage of Judge Issac Parker in the court of Little Rock Arkansas. His best efforts to get back to Texas and to the ranch before his 35th birthday took another derailment in the embodiment of a five foot five cyclone with auburn hair and piercing green eyes hell bent on escaping the chains of conformity and destroying the men who stood in her path...or so he initially thought. When the pair first met in the dark fetid lowlands of Louisiana, they were impressed, at first, by one another's boldness which quickly turned to a hurried infatuation. But such bravado can come at a price, can they overcome their stubborn ways and embark on a path together the one that is the least expected for them both.
Download or read book Old Louisiana written by Lyle Saxon and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 1988-12-10 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating volume, Old Louisiana chronicles much of the state's history. Vignettes depict the early French settlers, the later Spanish rulers, and the rise and collapse of the great plantation era. Bringing to light old diaries, letters, and other rare sources, Saxon creates a sensitive and realistic portrait of this charming, colorful state and its people. The reader meets daring pioneers, hot-tempered duellists, aristocratic planters, rough-hewn river men, and Creole beauties. Both of these classic works include E. H. Suydam's haunting, detailed illus-trations, which bring Saxon's prose to life. Lyle Saxon (1891-1946) is renowned as one of Louisiana's foremost authors. He was the central figure in the state's literary community during the 1920s and 1930s, and was well-known as a raconteur and bon vivant. He divided his time between his house in New Orleans and a cottage on the Melrose Plantation near Nachitoches. Among his other works are Father Mississippi, Lafitte the Pirate, Children of Strangers, and Joe Gilmore and His Friends . He collaborated with Edward Dreyer and Robert Tallant on the perennial favorite Gumbo Ya-Ya . During the 1930s he headed the Louisiana WPA Writers Project, which produced the WPA Guide to Louisiana and the WPA Guide to New Orleans.
Download or read book Where the Crawdads Sing written by Delia Owens and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE—The #1 New York Times bestselling worldwide sensation with more than 18 million copies sold, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as “a painfully beautiful first novel that is at once a murder mystery, a coming-of-age narrative and a celebration of nature.” For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life—until the unthinkable happens. Where the Crawdads Sing is at once an exquisite ode to the natural world, a heartbreaking coming-of-age story, and a surprising tale of possible murder. Owens reminds us that we are forever shaped by the children we once were, and that we are all subject to the beautiful and violent secrets that nature keeps.
