Book Description
Excerpt from The Everlasting Beauty That was Martha's conception of God, a Father to talk to. Nobody knew Martha like that. What she lived in her heart rarely came out on her lips. Per haps that is why Henry Knight found her, after a few years of married life, more useful than ornamental, more needed than to be admired.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Perils of Beauty, Vol. 1 of 3 Long may be live, said Clincher, with enthusiasm long may he live, the pride of the ocean, and terror of France and, although this everlasting peace hinders my making any prize-money, he picked up enough for both during the late war; and when he slips his wind, and makes a board to Gravesend reach, I shall try and do as much good as he has done.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BEST HISTORICAL FICTION OF 2020 "Only Katy Simpson Smith could have written a novel of such elegance, emotional power, and grace. The Everlasting, a quadruple love story spanning two millennia, is no less than the story of love itself—its frustrations and thrills, its blunders and transcendent glories. Meraviglioso."—Nathaniel Rich, author of King Zeno From a supremely talented author comes this brilliant and inventive literary work of historical fiction, set in Rome in four different centuries, that explores love in all its various incarnations and ponders elemental questions of good and evil, obedience and free will that connect four unforgettable lives . Spanning two thousand years, The Everlasting follows four characters whose struggles resonate across the centuries: an early Christian child martyr; a medieval monk on crypt duty in a church; a Medici princess of Moorish descent; and a contemporary field biologist conducting an illicit affair. Outsiders to a city layered and dense with history, this quartet separated by time grapple with the physicality of bodies, the necessity for sacrifice, and the power of love to sustain and challenge faith. Their small rebellions are witnessed and provoked by an omniscient, time-traveling Satan who, though incorporeal, nonetheless suffers from a heart in search of repair. As their dramas unfold amid the brick, marble, and ghosts of Rome, they each must decide what it means to be good. Twelve-year old Prisca defiles the scrolls of her father’s library. Felix, a holy man, watches his friend’s body decay and is reminded of the first boy he loved passionately. Giulia de’ Medici, a beauty with dark skin and limitless wealth, wants to deliver herself from her unborn child. Tom, an American biologist studying the lives of the smallest creatures, cannot pinpoint when his own marriage began to die. As each of these conflicted people struggles with forces they cannot control, their circumstances raise a profound and timeless question at the heart of faith: What is our duty to each other, and what will God forgive? Moving back through time from today (The Wilderness) to the Renaissance (The City) to the Middle Ages (The Grave) and finally to Rome under Marcus Aurelius (The Paradise), Tom, Guilia, Felix, and Prisca search and suffer for love in the eternal city, made vivid and familiar as they reappear in each century.

Book Description
With her client's husband somewhere between this world and the next, attorney Alexia Lindale makes an everlasting choice. The youngest son of a family consumed by greed, Baxter Richardson lingers on this earth in a coma. His wife wants him dead to protect her secrets. His brother wants him dead to gain control of the family empire. And though Baxter's father fights to keep him alive, even he has ulterior motives. But Baster has a surprising ally. A classically trained painist, Ted Morgan believes music can be used as prayer. And Ted's divinely-inspired playing has been slowly pulling Baxter back from the brink of death. Attorney Alexia Lindale represents Baxter's wife, Rena, but has no idea that she and her client are being played in a game that has higher stakes than a single legal case. As Baxter grows stronger, the more endangered he becomes. As Alexia navigates her responsibilities to her client, her relationship with the gifted musician, and her new relationship with God, she must discern the truth as it pertains to life, death, and life everlasting.

Book Description
Desire Burns Forever The clientele at Shore's clothing store includes some of L.A.'s sexiest bachelors. But none of them affects Megan DeLacey as deeply as the dark-eyed stranger who strides into her boutique one evening--and keeps returning, night after night. Megan is drawn to Rhys Costain even as she fears him. Because his reason for being there is clear--he wants Megan, with an intensity that's both tempting and terrifying. . . For almost five centuries, Rhys has lived alone, using women as it pleased him and never wanting more. As Master of the West Coast vampires, it's his duty to eliminate the ancient vampire who's draining humans on his turf, putting all of their kind at risk. But Megan's lush beauty and vibrant warmth is blinding him to a danger that will soon engulf them both--and tear him from the only woman who can satisfy his darkest hunger. . . "Master storyteller. . ." --Christine Feehan

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Briar Patch, 1924 To us, too, Sweet Briar means beauty. The spirit of our college must ever include the love of beauty, beauty in nature, in art, in life; the beauty of orderly thought and orderly living; the beauty born of mur muring sound, of friendship with nature. Encircling us, as they encircled that little girl of long ago, are the everlasting hills glorifying our campus and adding strength to its beauty. They are to us the symbol of that confidence and quiet power of which the girl of today has need, the power of a well developed body, a vigorous and questing mind, a soul informed by earnest purpose and high vision. We are surrounded on every hand by loveliness and by the simplicities of nature, and through these we may learn to think sincerely, to live truly, to serve nobly. May the spirit of Sweet Briar so inform our minds and hearts that we may go forth from our beautiful college with power and joy and courage to meet life's great adventure.
