War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars

War Letters is the most dramatic, impassioned, and comprehensive anthology of American war letters ever assembled. In November 1998, Dear Abby announced the aim of the Legacy Project. Since then, over 20,000 letters have come in from all around the country, all previously unpublished. The book features the most extraordinary letters received (approximately 150), written during America's wars, including the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Desert Storm. Included here are breathtaking eyewitness accounts of famous battles; intimate declarations of love and longing; poignant final letters written only days or even hours before soldiers were killed; incredible personal encounters with distinguished military leaders; and humorous anecdotes and gripes about insufferable conditions and commanding officers. The majority of the letters are written by combatants, but there are also many by war nurses, family members writing from home, draft resisters, and others affected by the ravages of war. The book is arranged chronologically by war, and each letter is preceded by an enlightening headnote, providing historical background and biographical detail. The most profound and memorable expressions of fear, loneliness, whimsy, exasperation, anger, exhilaration, and patriotism, these letters are more immediate than a memoir and will capture the hearts of readers everywhere.

Blessings: A Novel

Late one night, a teenage couple drives up to the big white clapboard home on the Blessing estate and leaves a box. In that instant, the lives of those who live and work there are changed forever. Skip Cuddy, the caretaker, finds a baby girl asleep in that box and decides he wants to keep the child . . . while Lydia Blessing, the matriarch of the estate, for her own reasons, agrees to help him. Blessings explores how the secrets of the past affect decisions and lives in the present; what makes a person or a life legitimate or illegitimate and who decides; and the unique resources people find in themselves and in a community. This is a powerful novel of love, redemption, and personal change by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer about whom The Washington Post Book World said, "Quindlen knows that all the things we ever will be can be found in some forgotten fragment of family."

Bird Cloud: A Memoir

"Bird Cloud" is the name Annie Proulx gave to 640 acres of Wyoming wetlands and prairie and four-hundred-foot cliffs plunging down to the North Platte River. On the day she first visited, a cloud in the shape of a bird hung in the evening sky. Proulx also saw pelicans, bald eagles, golden eagles, great blue herons, ravens, scores of bluebirds, harriers, kestrels, elk, deer and a dozen antelope. She fell in love with the land, then owned by the Nature Conservancy, and she knew what she wanted to build on it-a house in harmony with her work, her appetites and her character, a library surrounded by bedrooms and a kitchen. Proulx's first work of nonfiction in more than twenty years, Bird Cloud is the story of designing and constructing that house-with its solar panels, Japanese soak tub, concrete floor and elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets. It is also an enthralling natural history and archaeology of the region-inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho and Shoshone Indians- and a family history, going back to nineteenth-century Mississippi riverboat captains and Canadian settlers. Proulx, a writer with extraordinary powers of observation and compassion, here turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books and long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials and maps, and how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time. Bird Cloud is magnificent. *** Due to Extended Track length, it may not be possible to transfer this title to regular audio Cd.

Unless: A Novel

For all of her days, Reta Winters has enjoyed the useful monotony of happiness: a loving family, good friends, growing success as a writer of light fiction, novels 'for summertime.' This placid existence cracks open one fearful day when her beloved oldest daughter, Norah, drops out of life to sit on a gritty street corner, silent but for the sign around her neck that reads 'GOODNESS.' Reta's search for what drove her daughter to such a desperate statement turns into an unflinching and surprisingly funny meditation on where we find meaning and hope. Warmth, passion and wisdom come together in Carol Shields' remarkably supple prose. Unless, a harrowing but ultimately consoling story of one family's anguish and healing, proves her mastery of extraordinary fictions about ordinary life.

Carol Shields (Author), Joan Allen (Narrator)
