Book Synopsis The Blacksmith's Daughter by : Minnette Coleman

Download or read book The Blacksmith's Daughter written by Minnette Coleman. This book was released on 2010. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A black blacksmith from Alabama decides to make a name for himself through hard work, thrift and the relentless acquisition of land in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a loving and mutually supportive relationship with his wife Bira, five beautiful daughters and one son who is handicapped. The household is run according to a strict discipline and timetable, everyone to her or his task. As the daughters grow up, the blacksmith is most particular as to who they consort with and in which order they will eventually marry. Suitors must be educated and on their way to acquiring wealth in order to assure the blacksmith that his daughters will be appropriately provided for in the future. Then along comes the Piano Man who has been brought up principally in the North and in Europe, who is circumspect and sophisticated, and who is dazzling at the piano and in appearance. Furthermore, he is about to become a professor of music at the local university. This man is a catch worthy of one of the blacksmith's daughters - of Minnelsa, the eldest - or so the blacksmith decides. Then June, the rebellious youngest daughter has already determined otherwise. She has seen the Piano Man playing in the dive in the forest and this man is for her. To clinch the deal, the blacksmith tells the Piano Man that if he marries Minnelsa, he will be given a house and 50 acres of land as a dowry. For the previously itinerant Piano Man, this represents a grand settling down indeed. However, the strikingly attractive and musical June has other ideas."--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: With her mother on the run, suspected of being a traitor, and with a new baby on the way, 1780 is shaping up to be a tough year for Betsy Sheridan. Things become even more dangerous for the seventeen-year-old when she discovers the father of her child has been posing as a loyalist to smuggle information to patriot spies in the Carolinas. Then Betsy learns that the man she has always thought to be her own father was not - that her real father was blacksmith Mathias Hale. Hale and Betsy's mother, Sophie Barton, are reputed to be hiding in South Carolina. Betsy and her husband, Clark, travel to the Georgia frontier town of Alton to pick up the trail of her fugitive parents, only to come under the suspicions of British Lieutenant Dunstan Fairfax. Mathias and Sophie had escaped Fairfax's clutches earlier, and now the brutal redcoat sees a way to exact a measure of revenge through Betsy and Clark. Filled with action and suspense, The Blacksmith's Daughter is the second book following the exploits of Sophie Barton and her family as they are forced to choose sides in the war for American independence. From frontier Georgia, to the South Carolina back country, finally climaxing with the Battle of Camden, Suzanne Adair has earned her place as a rising star of historical fiction!

Book Synopsis A Mercy by : Toni Morrison

Download or read book A Mercy written by Toni Morrison. This book was released on 2009-08-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful tragedy distilled into a small masterpiece by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier. Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader in 1680s United States, when the slave trade is still in its infancy. Reluctantly he takes a small slave girl in part payment from a plantation owner for a bad debt. Feeling rejected by her slave mother, 14-year-old Florens can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, but later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives . . . At the novel's heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter – a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.
