Book Description
Excerpt from Salvage But now the dream is wholly o'er, I bathe mine eyes and see, And wander through the world once more A youth so light and free. H. W. Longfellow, from Pfizer. It was the middle of a night in June, or rather in the very earliest hours of a morning in the full height of the London season, that two young men ran down the steps of a handsome house near Eaton Square. This house was the residence of the American Minister, whose private means, fortunately, were sufficient to make up the deficiencies of republican liberality, and enable him to extend to all comers that hospitality which the American considers his due from his country's representatives abroad, wherever found. Our young men were in evening dress. One was tall and dark, with a superb full beard; the other, much slighter in frame, wore the look of a man wonted to society and to London ways.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wonders of Salvage That point of light which meant SO much to him was the beam of a lighthouse, one of the many en circling our coast. All round our Shores they keep sentinel night after night, through summer calm and winter blizzard, waking to life as daylight fades and dying as dawn steals over the seas. These lights, which the city dweller on a brief visit to the sea watches with such interest, are the friends of all who go down to the sea in ships. Our coasts are profoundly treacherous. Rocks, shoals and quicksands abound everywhere, and are mostly marked with lighthouses, lightships and buoys which in the aggregate have cost millions of pounds. No expense has been spared to indicate these hidden dangers and make our seas safe for Shipping. Yet, in spite of all that human foresight can suggest, wrecks still occur. Gales spring up and take their toll fogs steal on and drive Ships blindly to their doom machinery breaks down and allows the seas to hurl the helpless craft upon the cruel rocks.

Book Description
A hurricane is building over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening the coastal town of Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, and Esch's father is growing concerned. He's a hard drinker, largely absent, and it isn't often he worries about the family. Esch and her three brothers are stocking up on food, but there isn't much to save. Lately, Esch can't keep down what food she gets; at fifteen, she has just realized that she's pregnant. Her brother Skeetah is sneaking scraps for his prized pit bull's new litter, dying one by one. Meanwhile, brothers Randall and Junior try to stake their claim in a family long on child's play and short on parenting. As the twelve days that make up the novel's framework yield to a dramatic conclusion, this unforgettable family - motherless children sacrificing for one another as they can, protecting and nurturing where love is scarce - pulls itself up to face another day.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Salvage of a Sailor Indeed, there was a need for hurry. She, a four-masted sailing ship, the Megalon, laden down to her Plimsoll with salt from Liverpool for Calcutta, had been caught aback in one of the worst places in the world, off the pitch of the Cape of Good Hope, and the watch on deck, Heaven help them, had about as much value in this emergency as a mar trying to push a wagon up a hill. So it was 0 wonder that the mate tore his lungs in a yell of All hands! And beat frantically upon the forecastle door with a belaying pin as a man might locked within a room in a burning house.
