Since the British takeover of Ireland in the seventeenth century, relations have been strained between the Irish nobilitygenerally identified as Catholicand the newly arrived English Protestants. Benjamin McLain knew of this conflict first hand. He was born the son of an Irish woman from the high-ranking house of OConnor and a Protestant father who served as an admiral in the British Navy. Benjamin sought to leave history behind him; in 1797, he landed in Charleston, South Carolina. He left his home country of Northern Ireland as an enlisted sailor in the Royal Navy, but upon his arrival in America, he came to realize that the same deep-rooted resentments existed, even far from Ireland. The Irish disliked the Protestants and vice versa, even in this new, foreign land.As Benjamin struggles to break through the barriers of his birth, he finds himself torn between the love of his mother, the love of his intended fianc, and the love of a strange woman who ignites his desire. Benjamin must decide where his loyalty truly lieswith his Irish OConnor blood or English McLain heritage. Which woman will be his rockhis mother, his Anna, or the mysterious Elina? A stranger in a strange land, Benjamin McLain must determine his own destiny through whatever means he can. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick, never thought of himself as a writer. He was an adventurer, learning how to write by learning how to live. Author Leigh Clark takes the same approach. Although she does have some formal training in the art, she feels writing is more than putting words on the page; it is instead a search for knowledge that enhances the way we live and look at the world around us.In This and That, Clarke takes everyday observations and makes them beautiful through the telling of eloquent short stories. She reinvents the famous first line of Melvilles masterwork with the line Call me Moby Dick in Another Point of View. She explores the painful process of job hunting in The Interview. And take a stop by the peaceful sea in Clarkes visual feast, The Beach.Stories are created to inspire us and teach us about our world and ourselves. Discover enlightenment in the everyday. Melville found his inspiration on a whaling boat. Clarke found hers through the twists and turns of an artists life. Where will you meet your muse? - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

Born in the western state of Wyoming in the 30s, her point of view was influenced by the visual and written history of the West that surrounded her; where the Sioux roamed and established their winter camps, and western ranchers, like her father and grandfathers before him, attempted to survive the Great Depression, a major draught, and a World War. These events shaped her early years and taught that hardship and discipline meant survival for a nation and its people.She raised her three children mostly as a single parent and has had a long life of good health and love for family; including her three grandchildren. She presently lives in the North Texas Hill Country with her two pups, Beau and Bandit. - Häftad, Engelska, 2011

Part I of this book is a repeat of Land Above and Part II continues the saga. In arriving to the Carolinas in the late 1700s, the McLean family worked hard, raised family, and thanked their fortune in finding a good life in a new land. Benjamin, knowing the pain of loss in his earlier life in Northern Ireland, regained love and wealth and became blessed with a large extended family life. When his son, Joseph and family, were feared lost at sea, the pain came flowing back; surely he could not lose this important part of himself. (Perhaps as before someone else can write better than I for the jacket of these books). - Häftad, Engelska, 2013

The figure in black parked and walked about six blocks to the decaying house, a ghostly presence of time past, its porch half detached from the main house; and the white paint, now shades of gray, appeared to be scratched bare here and there by wind and rain. Walking carefully across the rickety porch, looking in all direction, the dark night figure entered the front entrance, walked down a long hallway, and found the body where it had been placed the night before. After carefully removing boards from the washroom floor, the body slipped easily into the hole; and he poured the sack of lime on it, nailed back the boards, and crept back into the night. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
