Book Description
SUMMARY This is a western love story. It is the tale of a man named Jake who, defeated and disillusioned by the horrors of the War Between the States, heads west with his brother to create a better life. However, his refusal to back down from confrontation, which served him well in war, leads to a life of violence. Through his skill with firearms and the quickness of his reflexes, he acquires a reputation as a dangerous foe. When a writer publishes a fictitious account of his exploits, everyone sees a cold-bloodied killer and no one, except his brother, sees a man of honor trying to come to terms with what he has done and who he is. Only through the love of a woman and her understanding of the demons that drive him does he begin to put his life back together again and find, among the constant battles for survival, a life worth living.

Book Description
Even monsters have horrors they whisper about in the dark of the night. They told him that the Lost were animals. Crazed and brutal, they said, a danger to themselves and others. Hero, they called him, for providing the mercy of a clean death. They lied. The Tiarna Beo is a land frozen in the still moment between acts of savage violence. Forty years after a genocidal Purging that drove an entire race either into the grave or north through the mountains, every man watches his words and his neighbour. Only a fool draws attention to himself, and only the suicidal travel to or from the North. Growing up fatherless in a cold and grieving home, Breag held tight to a clear vision for his future – a good woman, a family of his own and a quiet life. When his good woman betrays him, her confederates force him to travel to the Tiarna. He's charged with the mission to track down one of the Lost and bring it North. Its unwilling sacrifice will win him back his life. Mired in hopeless duty, spending his days and his years among people who would kill him if they knew what he was, Breag struggles to hold to the frayed edges of his humanity and his hope. But no good deed goes unpunished. When a man who would be his conscience pushes him to rescue a brutalised young woman, he finds out that she is the Lost he has spent eight years hunting for. His prize, e token that will give him back everything he ever wanted. All he has to do is bring her North. But the girl refuses to go quietly, and Breag is forced to choose between his future and hers. His choice will send out ripples that ignite the fumes of anger between Daoine and humans, and will ultimately burn the entire Tiarna down around him. Previously published under the name Tara Saunders.

A Requiem for the American Village
Author: Paul Keith ConkinPublisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 9780847697366
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
In this long awaited volume, Paul K. Conkin, one of America's most distinguished intellectual historians, offers his commentary on almost every aspect of the American past. Delivered to a wide variety of audiences over more than a quarter of a century, these essays are simultaneously informal, profound, graceful, and self-revealing. A common theme shared by all the essays is the ambiguous results of our nation's transition from relatively homogeneous communities, villages, and regions to a cosmopolitan culture with a centralized, regulatory welfare state, and an increasingly mobile and pluralistic population. The village's sense of local autonomy has all but disappeared in the face of these trends. With an almost melancholy sense of what has been lost, Conkin charts the strains and tensions that have marked this incredible transition. But Conkin is also acutely aware of the necessities that have fueled these changes, as well as the many benefits of the new order, ranging from an unprecedented level of affluence to the full citizenship gained by minorities. A reluctant Southerner, Conkin has not forgotten the exclusivity, intolerance, and repression that often mark provincial communities. Conkin reflects on the historians' craft and the influence of his own past on the subjects he studies. A Requiem for the American Village is infused with Conkin's razor sharp sense of historical memory and historical consciousness. From the foundations of American government to the tensions of contemporary cultural pluralism, Paul Conkin offers powerful insights not only about the tortured history of the South, but the promises and pitfalls of the American experiment.
