Pages : 93
Book Description
Sometime in the not-distant future, in a nation that is morally and financially bankrupt, Neola Mackey has come to the end of her road. Fourteen and pregnant, she has been on the run for nearly a month. If she's caught, she will lose her baby and be sterilized under a new law aimed at curbing a growing underclass population. As she eats lunch in a soup kitchen run by an inner-city church, she catches the eye of the rector, Father Nick Calderwood, who takes her under his protection and embarks with her on a journey along an underground railroad system that will, if completed, take them to safety. As the journey unfolds, Father Nick finds himself on another journey, of faith, and as he discovers his true self, "Neola's Run" becomes his also.

Pages : 5068
Book Description
Joel Chandler Harris was an American journalist, fiction writer, and folklorist best known for his collection of Uncle Remus stories. Harris wrote novels, narrative histories, translations of French folklore, children's literature, and collections of stories depicting rural life in Georgia. As fiction writer and folklorist, he wrote many 'Brer Rabbit' stories from the African-American oral tradition. He realized the literary value of the stories he had heard from the slaves of Turnwold Plantation. Harris set out to record the stories and insisted that they be verified by two independent sources before he would publish them. The stories, mostly collected directly from the African-American oral storytelling tradition, were revolutionary in their use of dialect, animal personages, and serialized landscapes. 1.

Book Description
The American author and creator of the folk character Uncle Remus, Joel Chandler Harris produced a wide body of works, reflecting his life and interests in the Deep South. As a young journalist, he established a reputation as a brilliant humorist and writer of dialect. His Uncle Remus stories secured for Harris a place in American literature. The format was an instant success — a wise and genial old black man, Uncle Remus narrates tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and other animals to the son of a plantation owner, while interweaving his philosophy of the world about him. Harris’ later novels reveal his ability as a writer of ‘local color’, exploring important issues facing the South after its Reconstruction.
