Book Description
The year is 1875, and a young physician's wife, Sarah Archer, is settling into a new life on the Iowa frontier, expecting her first child. A survivor of the Civil War, she wrestles with troubling memories of her childhood on her family's Alabama plantation.

Revolving around the mysterious disappearance of Seth, the enslaved boy Sarah loved, Eldorado, Iowa braids scenes of Sarah's childhood on the plantation before and during the war with her present life on the Midwestern frontier, the accidents of small-town life, and the daily textures of marriage, domesticity, and grace. Exploring the ties of love, anger, silence, and misunderstanding, Eldorado, Iowa explores how we grow through, and beyond, what we think we know of our pasts in order to discover our true homes, our true lives, and our true paths into the future. AMY WELDON (PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is professor of English at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. She is the author of The Hands-On Life: How to Wake Yourself Up and Save the World and The Writer's Eye: Observation and Inspiration for Creative Writers.

Iowa and the World

Publisher: Editions Enlaplage
ISBN: 1936466163
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Elected senator from Iowa in 1972, Dick Clark is one of a select few American public servants whose name is associated with the downfall of apartheid in South Africa: his defeat in the senatorial campaign of 1978 resulted in part from the South African government’s secret and illegal monetary contributions to his opponent. He subsequently spent many years founding and directing the Congressional Program of the Aspen Institute, through which members of the United States Congress receive incisive non-partisan orientation in current issues of foreign and domestic policy. His engrossing and eminently entertaining memoirs cover his early years and the beginnings of his political career; his renowned “walk across Iowa” for election to the Senate; his direction of the Africa panel of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and travels through southern Africa; the so-called Clark Amendment terminating covert CIA operations in Angola; his work on various other Senate committees; his activity as the Carter administration’s ambassador-at-large for the resettlement of southeast Asian refugees after the Vietnam war; and his many years creating and administering the Aspen Institute’s Congressional Program, in particular its contributions to normalization of relations with Russia, South Africa, and Vietnam.
