Book Description
The story starts on the day Jean was born into a family of strife with an alcoholic father and parents that fought every weekend. She was raised with a sister and three brothers. The three oldest of the children were very close in age and did everything together as young children. The other two children came along later. So they were not as close as the older three were. She went on to marry her first love at age fifteen. He was twenty. He drank a lot of beer so consequently there were a lot of problems. Over the years, he was unfaithful to her multiple of times. He was not yet ready to settle down. Yet they had three children to raise. Roland was a commercial fisherman and times were hard. He would go out and get whatever seafood was in season to sell and bring some home to cook. He spent lots of time away from home, sometimes two or three days. Sometimes he would be working, but most of the time, he was just goofing off or spending time with other people, and sometimes it would be with other women. Sometimes Jean would go out and find him and get him to come home. Jean spent a lot of time cleaning the house and moving the furniture around from boredom. Other times, she would work outside the home. She tried to keep a stable home for the kids as best she could under the circumstances. Sometimes Roland would take the children out on the boat, fishing and clamming. One time, there was an accident that occurred while he had the two boys out in the ocean on a small boat. Roland escaped near death several times from events that happened while working in his fishing profession as a commercial fisherman. What happened to him? And what happened to the girl in this story? This is a story that never gets boring. It keeps your interest to the end.

Memory's Child
Author: Lynnette Spratley
Publisher: Lynnette Spratley
ISBN: 0615654509
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Climate change during the 20th and 21st centuries culminates in catastrophic changes to the planet as Nature declares war on humanity. Inches of polar ice cap melt, and evaporation bloats the atmosphere until finally, it begins to rain-and rain. The planet grows soggy, suffering manifest changes in topography as the earth turns into a quagmire, slipping and sliding beneath the feet of the humans who live on its surface. Earthquakes and mega-storms become more frequent and deadly. Industries suffer, with agriculture taking the biggest hit, and the economy teeters, then collapses. Physicist Noah Eastermann, determined to ensure a future beyond what others predict is the beginning of the end for the planet, builds a secret stronghold, dubbed Phoenix Nest. He smuggles in scientists and scholars until he has gathered a microcosm of world knowledge. Unable to program intelligence itself, the scientists instead enhance the brain's ability to absorb and retain knowledge and devise a way for this enhancement to pass from parent to child. Long after mankind plummetis off the top of the heap to land face first in the mud, descendants of Phoenix Nest, known as Preservationists, are hidden among the uneducated Morons in what was once the United States. Shelana is one of these "Presers." To carry out her duty as historian, she must battle to survive prejudice directed not at race, religion or means, but at intelligence. Feeding and spreading this prejudice is the powerful, mysterious and bloodthirsty group known as Myths. Vernon, leader of the Myths, is determined to wipe out the Preservationists and to control the redevelopment of civilization. Vernon has made one mistake that may ruin his plans and cost him his life, a mistake the Myth leader doesn't even remember he made. But Shelana does.
