News of Our Loved Ones
Author: Abigail DeWitt
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062834738
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Set in France and America, News of Our Loved Ones is a haunting and intimate examination of love and loss, beauty and the cost of survival, witnessed through two generations of one French family, whose lives are all touched by the tragic events surrounding the D-Day bombings in Normandy. What if your family’s fate could be traced back to one indelible summer? Over four long years, the Delasalle family has struggled to live in their Nazi occupied village in Normandy. Maman, Oncle Henri, Yvonne, and Françoise silently watched as their Jewish neighbors were arrested or wordlessly disappeared. Now in June 1944, when the sirens wail each day, warning of approaching bombers, the family wonders if rumors of the coming Allied invasion are true—and if they will survive to see their country liberated. For sixteen-year-old Yvonne, thoughts of the war recede when she sees the red-haired boy bicycle past her window each afternoon. Murmuring to herself I love you, I love you, I love you, she wills herself to hear the whisper of his bicycle tires over the screech of Allied bombs falling from the sky. Yvonne’s sister, Geneviève, is in Paris to audition for the National Conservatory. Pausing to consider the shadow of a passing cloud as she raises her bow, she does not know that her family’s home in Normandy lies in the path of British and American bombers. While Geneviève plays, her brother Simon and Tante Chouchotte, anxiously await news from their loved ones in Normandy. Decades later, Geneviève, the wife of an American musician, lives in the United States. Each summer she returns to her homeland with her children, so that they may know their French family. Geneviève’s youngest daughter, Polly, becomes obsessed with the stories she hears about the war, believing they are the key to understanding her mother and the conflicting cultures shaping her life. Moving back and forth in time, told from varying points of view, News of Our Loved Ones explores the way family histories are shared and illuminates the power of storytelling to understand the past and who we are.

This first ever biography focuses on the career of a baseball executive who contributed greatly to America's pastime.

The O'Neal, Dunbar, Lincoln, Edwards, Dewitt, Hodge, Bostic Families
Author: Ann DeWitt
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780991285204
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
This 2014 composition documents the initial findings of genealogical material for Betsy O'Neal, her immediate family and collateral relatives. Family Tree DNA mtDNA Full Sequence results confirm Haplogroup J1c2c for a maternal line descendant of Mrs. Betsy O'Neal. ScienceNews Magazine on March 9, 2013 announced that King Richard III's mtDNA signature was J1c2c. However, scientists are unaware if Betsy is a collateral descendant of King Richard III. Even though Betsy's maternal line is of European descent, regional archivists and genealogists conclude that Betsy and her family group were enumerated as Mulatto on the 1860 United States Slave Schedule, Darlington, South Carolina for Griffin O'Neal. In the book, the birth years covered range from 1814 to 1918. Family research citations are derived from state/county vital records, census records, cemetery surveys, and military records, to name a few. Each descendant includes name (first/last), occupation, year of birth, year of death, a photo, and genealogical citations. If made available, additional supporting documents are presented to provide a sense of the major accomplishments for a few of Betsy's descendants. Though this book neither includes all descendants nor every possible record, the research indeed aims to save family members, curators, librarians, educators and genealogists precious time in locating genealogical sources for the O'Neal, Dunbar, Lincoln, Edwards, DeWitt, Hodge, Bostic families, primarily of Darlington, Florence, Marion, Lee, Chesterfield, and Marlboro Counties in South Carolina. Future editions of this book will include deeds, plats and much more.

Undermajordomo Minor
Author: Patrick deWitt
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0062281232
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
From the bestselling, Man Booker–short-listed author of The Sisters Brothers comes a brilliant and boisterous novel that reimagines the folk tale A love story, an adventure story, a fable without a moral, and an ink-black comedy of manners, Undermajordomo Minor is Patrick deWitt's long-awaited follow-up to the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel The Sisters Brothers. Lucien (Lucy) Minor is the resident odd duck in the bucolic hamlet of Bury. Friendless and loveless, young and aimless, Lucy is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for producing brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the Majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux. While tending to his new post as Undermajordomo, Lucy soon discovers the place harbors many dark secrets, not least of which being the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. He also encounters the colorful people of the local village—thieves, madmen, aristocrats, and Klara, a delicate beauty for whose love he must compete with the exceptionally handsome soldier Adolphus. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of humanity is laid bare for our hero to observe. Undermajordomo Minor is an adventure, a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behavior, but above all it is a love story—and Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.
