Book Description
"Fields of Gold and Sorrows" begins in the allied trenches in France during the peak of World War One. One of the American wounded lying in this particular trench is Mark Royal, an heir to one of the wealthiest families in the entire world. Why would such a wealthy individual be here in the first place? Only Mark Royal knew the answer to that question and might never reveal the answer as he lie critically wounded in a muddy ditch with little chance he would make it out alive. On a sprawling piece of Georgia land known as the "Royal Farm" Mark's only sister who had just buried their father, was about to get word of another tragedy, with the news of her severely wounded brother someplace in France. "I have to travel to France and bring Mark home," Catherine said to her father's grave. "But first, I have to go find Billy. I know he's down in Florida someplace and I'll find him. I'll bring him back here where he belongs. He can oversee the farm while I'm gone to France so I can bring our brother home. Dead or alive, he will be buried on this farm like the rest of our family. I swear to you Mama and Daddy," Catherine said to the two stone markers before her, "I will bring Mark home!" Catherine wiped the tears from her eyes and walked slowly to the awaiting car. And so begins the second book in 'THE RED COTTON FIELDS' trilogy, an epic tale surrounding three of the wealthiest families in the entire world carrying the reader through the dark days of WWI into the happier days of the roaring twenties followed by the traumatic times of the great depression ending on the eve of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the beginning of WWII. It is a story of love, war, tragedy, and the human will to survive. The saga continues in 'Fields of Gold and Sorrow'. Hope you enjoy.

Book Description
An intimate narrative history of World War I told through the stories of twenty men and women from around the globe--a powerful, illuminating, heart-rending picture of what the war was really like. In this masterful book, renowned historian Peter Englund describes this epoch-defining event by weaving together accounts of the average man or woman who experienced it. Drawing on the diaries, journals, and letters of twenty individuals from Belgium, Denmark, France, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Venezuela, and the United States, Englund’s collection of these varied perspectives describes not a course of events but "a world of feeling." Composed in short chapters that move between the home front and the front lines, The Beauty and Sorrow brings to life these twenty particular people and lets them speak for all who were shaped in some way by the War, but whose voices have remained unheard.

Book Description
Is it possible to right the wrongs of the past? It's a question Wallace Hayes asked himself many times, and the answer is always the same. Yessuh. You see, Wallace knows about the power within all of us because he has seen it in action. Wallace grew up at Summerton Place, the plantation where his grandparents were once slaves and his father was born the illegitimate child of a wealthy landowner. Now the owner of what's left of the once grand plantation, Wallace is determined to bring good from the tragic and painful events of the past. Slavery, rape, abuse, and war happened along the long line of ancient oaks. Two children born, Moses and Hope-one into slavery and one smuggled out, never to be seen again. But God had hold of every event, as He always promised He would. Repentance, forgiveness, and redemption follow, but some things cannot be undone. In an effort to teach others the life-giving power of forgiveness and faith that his father taught him, Wallace decides to share his family's darkest secrets and the sweetest truths of his heritage with three special people. In fact, he has a wish for all of them as they come to terms with their own personal pasts, and Wallace's quest to right the wrongs come full circle. Set in Charleston, South Carolina, Dancing on Fields of Sorrow and Blessing spans three generations of the Summerton-Hayes family, beginning in 1860 on the cusp of the Civil War and ending in the greatest lesson of all-the power not only to change our personal stories but to change the world.

Book Description
In this classic study, Harvard professor Reuben Brower guides the reader from noticing the alluring details of a well-made poem, novel, or play to attending to the encompassing ways in which the writing achieves its greatness. "Not only does Brower begin his book with a lyric, but he deliberately chooses a very short one indeed, as if to show how much can be said about the smallest of poetic 'figures' looked at closely. The poem is "The Sick Rose", one of William Blake's best-known songs of experience ... Brower's task is to show how the poem is 'imaginatively organized,' by which he means that, to read it, we must sense the 'extraordinary interconnectedness among a relatively large number of different items of experience." -- From the Foreword by William H Pritchard

Book Description
Author Charles Ford continues to examine the philosophy of choice in the spirit of poetry by existentialism. Many themes are included, such as alienation, God, death, love, and so on. Here the list of themes is not exhausted. The roots of these choices are grounded in the will of the individual rather than his/her reason. He/she confronts problems that are seen in the world, so by his/her actions disclose human nature and reflect his/her latent dispositions. This is where inner choices must arise, so external choices may be seen as actions per se. When these state-of-affairs are closely examined, they disclosed aspects of the human condition. Experiences that revealed that we are human beings touching various realms of reality. For our inner/external choices say something about our makeup, we are wonderfully composed, and dynamically active from moment-to-moment of our existence. In Hidden Fields Book 3, Charles has written lots of poems in a personal way. He invites the readers to come along, and experience reality both mentally and through their senses. Every reader will soon discover something about him/ her with respect to choices that were made that he/she is fleshly human and is real. Charles wants to share and invite the reader into his home now.
