Book Description
On a block dressed up in Red and Green one house shone Blue and White. It's a holiday season that both Isaac, whose family is Jewish, and Teresa, whose family is Christian, have looked forward to for months! They've been counting the days, playing in the snow, making cookies, drawing (Teresa) and writing poems (Isaac). They enjoy all the things they share, as well as the things that make them different. But when Isaac's window is smashed in the middle of the night, it seems like maybe not everyone appreciates "difference." Inspired by a true story, this is a tale of a community that banded together to spread light.

Where Green Meets Blue

Publisher: Corinne Beenfield
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
“It had my heart racing and my stomach clenching with anxiety. Then the end was written so beautifully and demonstrated the writer’s gift with thought and word. I will read anything she writes.” Lola Copeland, Goodreads Reviewer Inspired by the courageous and passionate pack horse librarians of the 1930s, Where Green Meets Blue intertwines the roots of The Giver of Stars with all the imagination and resilience we love in Anne of Green Gables. Marian lives in a world of her making, protected by her own cleverness and the characters of her mother's books. Drawing from their strength, she forges her escape from a brutal childhood and takes to the wild. There she finds hope in a rare position for women, tucked into the Appalachians, working as a pack horse librarian. Though it requires her to venture along cliff edges and through iced-over creeks, she knows what magic she carries in her pack to those isolated mountain families. It's in a small cabin that she begins teaching a handsome widower's two children how to read and discovers new kinds of love, different from any she has known. Yet as danger closes in, Marian must decide between all she has ever wanted—to be as free as the birds—and a dream she has only just begun to believe in. Raw and lyrical, Where Green Meets Blue is a mesmerizing novel of love, resilience, and the belief that a story, like a pressed flower in a book, can help us hold onto all that is beautiful. Readers are Loving Where Green Meets Blue: “This book will suck you in and not let you go until a tear falls down your cheek at the last page. I loved every moment of it and definitely recommend reading it. You'll fall in love with the characters, hold your breath during the climax, and have your heart burst wide open at the ending. A fantastic uplifting read!” Melissa W. “I started it one day and ended up staying up til 2 am to finish it the following night! Positive, uplifting and refreshing!!” Mallory Pierce “I love the turn of phrase, the passion, the breath of good books taking flight and giving to the reader - hope, courage, strength. It was a marvelous tale. Loved it.” Kindle Customer, from Australia “In Beenfield’s books...I love how I always come away seeing my life with new eyes. I love how she weaves in real-lived details of history I didn't know before. I love how I can feel what the main character is feeling. I love how the first pages grab me and never let go.” JB “These words, this book... I felt as if parts were written just for me. Some to remind me or encourage me. Sometimes a book is more than just a good story!” Christina “I loved reading this book and would recommend it to anyone, both young and old, especially those that have struggled with a relationship or given up on their dreams of true love and happiness.” Nila Bladen “Beautifully written with fresh imagery, Beenfield weaves together a memorable story of overcoming our past and embracing the bright future. Readers will love the classic literature references and a glimpse into the noble lives of historic “book women” of the Great Depression.” Amy B. “Such an incredible book, just teeming with imagery and there is such a connectedness of the reader with the story!! Beautifully made and inspiring!” Liz Barett “I lOVED IT! I loved the romance and loved learning about the book women. It was fascinating reading and thinking about how books can and do change children's lives! Adults lives too. I loved the whole story!” Marti Kunz “I've never read an author who describes her character's physical sensations—fear, attraction, etc—as exquisitely as this author does...Sigh. It's always hard when the book ends!” Laura With its emphasis on the impact of literature, Where Green Meets Blue makes an excellent choice for book clubs or gift for book lovers.

Blue in Green
Author: Chiyuma Elliott
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022678388X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
""Blue in Green"is a book that is equal parts subtle intelligence and generosity of heart. In it, Chiyuma Elliott creates a unique voice that returns again and again to the question of what we expect from one another, and how that question is transformed instead into a question of what we owe each other. This notion of reversal plays out in the construction of the poems where, unlike so many of her contemporaries who come to poetry through prose techniques, Elliott's voice emerges through a complex shifting of phrase and syntax between lines or in mid-phrase. We don't, for example, get a straight-forward story of what caused the trauma of, say, cancer or abuse; rather, we hear impressions, half-formed ideas that rise and fall in the speaker's voice as it moves through the nature of the trauma, and experience the effects of the disorder that is the center of our everyday relationships through speech. Put another way: when a crisis overshadows the ordinary, disrupting the collective labor that we pursue together in love, friendship, and work, the hardship itself, in a kind of role-reversal, becomes a collaborator, necessitating new conceptions of relationships and proposing new modes of engagement, different rules of exchange. The book's forms also reflect this transformed idea of reciprocity: ekphrastic poems, normally reserved for visual artworks, instead describe modern jazz songs (including the title poem); letters and letter fragments are written to no one in particular, to the planet, to the universe; and highly allusive free verse poems defy convention with troubled, wildly variable line lengths. The phrase "When I was a wave" recurs throughout the book in unpredictable places, sometimes as a title, sometimes in the middle of a poem, each time telling a different story about expectation, intimacy, and the risk inherent in any relationship. "Blue in Green" is a graceful, tough-minded, beautifully crafted collection, full of wit and elegance"--
