Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1438988362
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Blossom Sterling knows she's different. She was born with a veil, a thin membrane that covered her face, and gave her a special gift. But for Blossom, the gift is so much more. It is because of this supernatural inheritance, her life in the small town of Riddle Inn is in stark contrast to that of her peers. Only her closest friends, her inner circle, have been allowed to witness her abilities. She finds a connection to Soul, a Norwood Indian girl, who lives in the backwoods of Bayou Sara, where her paternal grandparents own a farm. Their similarities--and their differences--evoke a power struggle that ultimately defines Blossom's destiny. Breaking Into Soul is a mystical journey that traverses Southern traditions, Native American society, and the ultimate sacrifice of friendship for personal growth.

The Little Way of Ruthie Leming
Author: Rod Dreher
Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455521906
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The Little Way of Ruthie Leming follows Rod Dreher, a Philadelphia journalist, back to his hometown of St. Francisville, Louisiana (pop. 1,700) in the wake of his younger sister Ruthie's death. When she was diagnosed at age 40 with a virulent form of cancer in 2010, Dreher was moved by the way the community he had left behind rallied around his dying sister, a schoolteacher. He was also struck by the grace and courage with which his sister dealt with the disease that eventually took her life. In Louisiana for Ruthie's funeral in the fall of 2011, Dreher began to wonder whether the ordinary life Ruthie led in their country town was in fact a path of hidden grandeur, even spiritual greatness, concealed within the modest life of a mother and teacher. In order to explore this revelation, Dreher and his wife decided to leave Philadelphia, move home to help with family responsibilities and have their three children grow up amidst the rituals that had defined his family for five generations-Mardi Gras, L.S.U. football games, and deer hunting. As David Brooks poignantly described Dreher's journey homeward in a recent New York Times column, Dreher and his wife Julie "decided to accept the limitations of small-town life in exchange for the privilege of being part of a community."

The Spirit of St. Francisville
Author: Darrell Chitty
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780976376590
Category : Historic buildings
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
"Trying to understand particular places and their importance in particular times, chroniclers of history take many approaches, from paintings to plays, from journals to poems, and volumes and volumes of books both fact and fiction. As in the St. Francisville area visitors see the results of the happy marriage of felicitous climate and fertile soil in the flowering of fabulous antebellum gardens, so this book happily joins the visual and verbal homages and paeans of prasie sung by two artists, one Louisiana's top photographer and the other a local author who contributes that loving insider's knowledge only a longtime resident-observer can provide. By combining images with words in this book, a true labor of love, they have managed to capture just a bit of the magic of St. Francisville, its soul, its heart, its spirit, its timeless charm that is only enhanced by the patina of the passing of years" -- back cover.
