Book Description
Many a tale has been told about the Wild West, but none have been told quite this way In this ironic account of past versus present, the parallel stories of four young people from the past and four from the present are brought to you in tantalizing fashion. They are all forced to face the dark sides of their personalities when confronted with love, greed, sex, violence, and, in the end, discovery. Peppered with graphic visuals (you can almost taste the dirt and smell the cinders), these accounts of life in both modern and classical eras will appeal to the senses and render readers awestruck by the passionate plot and poignant characters. TL Gardner (Horror) and Michelle McGriff (Mystery), two fresh voices on the mainstream scene, step away from their normal genres to entertain readers with this paradoxically unique story. "Michelle McGriff and TL Gardner combine their talents and genres to blaze a new literary trail. Fascinating tale!" Evelyn Palfrey, author of The Price of Passion.

My Lord, what a Morning
Author: Marian Anderson
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252070532
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
My Lord, What a Morning is a gentle and engrossing memoir, abounding with the tender and inspiring stories of Marian Anderson's life in her own modest words. From her humble but proud beginnings in south Philadelphia to international vocal renown, the legendary contralto writes of triumph and adversity, of being grounded in faith and surrounded by family, and of the music that shaped her career. Anderson published My Lord, What a Morning in 1956 on the heels of her groundbreaking role as the first African American to perform at the Metropolitan Opera. In it are bittersweet reminiscences of a working-class childhood, from her first job scrubbing the neighbors' steps to the sorrow and upheaval of her father's untimely death. Here are the stories of a young girl with prodigious talent, and her warm remembrances of the teachers, managers, friends, accompanists, and fans who worked to foster it. Here is a veritable travelogue of her concerts across the globe and rare glimpses at the personal life of a woman more concerned with family than celebrity. An entire chapter devoted to the Easter concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 reveals Anderson's immense respect for Eleanor Roosevelt, who resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution when they refused to let Anderson perform at Constitution Hall. Supplanting sorrow and regret for anger and violence, Anderson demurely imparts her views on discrimination and on becoming an icon in the struggle for civil rights. With eleven photographs and a touching new foreword by Anderson's nephew, famed conductor and poet James DePreist, this new paperback edition of My Lord, What a Morning revives the classic portrait of a musical legend who was resilient in the bullying face of bigotry and gracious in the unfaltering glow of fame.
