The fall of 1864 finds Mosby’s Rangers in a violent clash with Sheridan’s Cavalry in the Shenandoah Valley… The nature of the fighting between the Confederacy and the Union has changed drastically from a once “gentlemanly conflict” to an all-out war of brutal treachery. Measured in terms of human life, the costly battles, lightning-quick raids, and secret missions effect the beginning of the end of the War Between the States, as President Lincoln finally finds a commander in Ulysses S. Grant who will fight Robert E. Lee without mercy. Homecoming at her family’s estate is nothing like what Salina Rose Hastings Barnes had ever imagined it could be. She returns to her native Virginia as a young wife and expectant mother, only to find that the place she holds so dear has been razed by order of Yankee major John Barnes. Corrupted by a festering decades-old vendetta, Barnes has sworn to annihilate not only the entire Hastings family, but also Salina’s husband, Captain Jeremy Barnes. The love Jeremy and Salina have for each other, combined with their faith in the Almighty, supplies them with the strength needed to endure trials that imperil their very lives. Unable to participate as actively as she once did in the Remnant, a civilian spy ring organized by her late father, Salina limits her war effort to nursing in a Richmond hospital and knitting socks for Southern soldiers. As belief in the Cause crumbles and notions of glorious victory elude the struggling Confederacy, Salina dreams of life with Jeremy beyond the war, and hopes to solve a painful mystery by discovering the identity of Jeremy’s true father. When all is said and done, Jeremy and Salina can testify that all things work together for God’s people, and that He alone is worthy of the glory and honor for the great things He has done. STRENGTH AND GLORY depicts the joys and woes of the Hastings family and their struggle to overcome the upheaval induced by America’s Civil War. Irrevocably changed, they all must come to terms with applying the lessons history has imposed upon them.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A Winner! By Lizzie Richardson I have been patiently waiting the "final chapter" in the Shadowcreek Chronicles and it was well worth the wait! I was touched so many times following the story of Jeremy and Salina - through their trials, tribulations, and triumphs in war, life, and family. Ms. Renich has a great way with words. So many times I laughed, cried, and felt as if I was right there with them. I could see and feel all that they were. I even learned more about America's Civil War. Ms. Renich has saved her best for last in this series but I'm hoping that she will write more in the future.

It was more than I expected it to be. Like the first three books, I wasn't able to put this book down for more than a minute without my curiousity peaking of what was gonna happen next. I have to admit that I'm sad to think that it came to an end. I felt like I was actually in the story. It touched my heart tremendously. I think I'll be reading the series over and over. Thanks T. Elizabeth Renich for allowing me the chance to read these books.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Weak end to an otherwise great series By Revenwyn This was a rather depressing and weak end to an otherwise great series. There was an unnecessary death, which causes the mental breakdown of another person in the cast. I could have seen a way to make a happier ending even with the death. Overall not happy with the ending of this series.

Wonderful as is the development of modern machinery for the manufacture of American textiles—machinery which seems almost human in the way it converts raw materials into finished cloth; just as surprising are the most primitive looms of the American aborigines, who without the aid of machinery make interesting weavings with only a bar upon which to suspend the warp threads while the human hand completes all the processes of manufacture.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Contains details of weaving technique in words, no pictures By Ali Julia This publication is a paper read before The National Association of Cotton Manufacturers in April of 1910.Ms.Kissell addresses advances in textile manufacturing while reflecting on ingenuity of man creating textiles by simple means. She discusses different type of Native American weaving. Her presentation references many photos, which unfortunately were not included in my Kindle edition. I found that very disappointing.Ms. Kissell describes the techniques of creating various textiles with the specific details of how the threads were woven. As a weaver I found those details particularly interesting. They were quite intricate and clever. I only wish I could see the photos to visualize the results!She finishes her paper stating that it will continue to amaze us how people using the crude devices were able to produce such wonderful results which compare favorably with the modern weaving (at the peak of textile revolution).The description of the Native American techniques were worth my time to read the brief publication. I am giving it 4 stars for the frustration of references to images which I could not see.

Amos This is not even a book -- at roughly 12 pages, it's essentially a rather long news article, and not a very good one. It also reflects the era in which it was written, using offensive terminology. Additionally, it is missing the pictures it references throughout. A complete waste of time.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Young Love By ZMW Wait For Me : The West Virginia Mountains Series, Book 1 by Jo Huddleston.Published as an e-book in 2015 by Forget Me Not Romances, a division of Winged Publications.#Set in the 1950s in a coalmining town of West Virginia, Wait For Me is a novel reflecting the author’s interest in addressing moral and social issues.The book highlights the barrier raised by the class divisions of those days, when Robby, a coalminer’s son, and Julie, a coal owner’s daughter, fall in love.The young people are forced to employ subterfuge in order to arrange secret meetings to avoid the disapproval of Julie’s mother who epitomizes the snobbery of the upper classes; Julie’s father endears himself to the reader because of his kind heart, shown in his decision to improve the substandard dwellings of the miners, and to eventually smooth the way for Julie and Robby’s romance.Jo Huddleston has chosen the genre of historical fiction to raise issues of morality which teenagers have to deal with in each generation. At the end of the book she has listed questions for discussion, focusing on some of these issues.The major appeal of this book would be to young women in their late teens or early twenties. 25th May 2015

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. The story deals with the issues of trust – both trusting another and being trustworthy as well as learning to live with Alzheime By Amazon Customer This story, set in the 1950s in West Virginia, is simple yet complex. The main characters, Julia (Julie) Capshaw and Roberto (Robby) Montagna could not have been any more different, yet were as one in thought and spirit. The story deals with the issues of trust – both trusting another and being trustworthy as well as learning to live with Alzheimer’s disease when it is discovered that a loved one has started down that path.Julie’s father owns several coal mines and her mother is from a genteel southern family so her lifestyle has always been considered affluent while Robby is a coal miner’s son raised in coal mining housing. The expectations for Julie are college and an “appropriate” marriage, but for Robby, the expectation is to follow in his father’s footsteps and become the next generation coalminer.The story begins while Julie and Robby are seniors in high school, in love, and having to “sneak” to see each other outside of school. Both are very bright, diligent students so decide to do what it takes to complete college, have good jobs, and marry. The author develops these two characters with maturity and responsible goals that are put to the test when the trust issues arise due to Julie’s mother’s attitude toward anyone “below her status” in life. Added to that, the signs of Alzheimer’s disease begin to become evident. Mrs. Huddleston shows the pain families suffer as this family lives out dealing with this disease. She also shows the positive impact on everyone when families trust God no matter what the circumstances.This book is an enjoyable sweet story – an easy read. It illustrates family life, economic differences, romance, and most of all, love, one for another in all kinds of relationships.I received this free book from Book Club Network in exchange for my honest review.

By Jennifer Frederick 'The Daughter Pays' by Mrs. Baillie Reynolds was written in a past era, but holds up well in today's world. Young women today want to be adventuresome and strong; and in a past time, when women had little control over their lives, our heroine manages to make the best of her circumstances and confronts her challenges with grit. A great read, if you want to gain insight to that era, from the viewpoint of a woman living in those times.

National Book Award Finalist

"Bone Gap marks Laura Ruby as one of fiction's most original voices. She is capable of moving you to tears, terrifying you on deep and dreamlike levels, and making your heart shout with happiness. This book is magic realism at its most magical."—E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars

Bone Gap is the story of Roza, a beautiful girl who is taken from a quiet midwestern town and imprisoned by a mysterious man, and Finn, the only witness, who cannot forgive himself for being unable to identify her kidnapper. As we follow them through their melancholy pasts, their terrifying presents, their uncertain futures, acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret and forgiveness—a story about how the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.

Bone Gap, by Laura Ruby

From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—It is a rare book that sits comfortably on the shelf with the works of Twain, McCullers, Conroy, Stephen King, and D'Aulaires' Greek Myths-rarer still that a novel combines elements of these authors together. Bone Gap does just this, to superb effect. We start with a boy named Finn and his brother, Sean. Sean is the classic hero: strong, silent, great at everything he does. Finn is a pretty boy whose otherworldly goofiness has earned him the nicknames Spaceman, Sidetrack, and Moonface. Along comes Rosza, a beautiful and damaged young woman, fleeing from some unknown evil. When she disappears, only Finn witnesses her abduction and he is unable to describe her captor. He is also unsure whether she left by force or choice. The author defies readers' expectations at every turn. In this world, the evidence of one's senses counts for little; appearances, even less. Heroism isn't born of muscle, competence, and desire, but of the ability to look beyond the surface and embrace otherworldliness and kindred spirits. Sex happens, but almost incidentally. Evil happens, embodied in a timeless, nameless horror that survives on the mere idea of beauty. A powerful novel.—Nina Sachs, Walker Memorial Library, Westbrook, ME

Review “It’s a novel about actual changes in worldview, and all its science and myth and realism and magic are marshaled, finally, to answer crucial questions about empathy and difference, and the way we see people we love.” (New York Times Book Review)“BONE GAP marks Laura Ruby as one of fiction’s most original voices. She is capable of moving you to tears, terrifying you on deep and dreamlike levels, and making your heart shout with happiness. This book is magic realism at its most magical.” (E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS)“Ruby’s novel deserves to be read and reread. It is powerful, beautiful, extraordinary.” (SLJ)“With rich characters, captivating world building, and a stunning secret at its heart, BONE GAP is utterly bewitching.” (ALA Booklist (starred review))“Cleverly conceived, and lusciously written.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))“The real magic in Bone Gap is the discovery of love, an idea many stories misrepresent but Bone Gap explores with the utmost honesty and truth.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) (Starred Review))

From the Back Cover

Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps—gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren't surprised. After all, it wasn't the first time that someone had slipped away and left Finn and Sean O'Sullivan on their own. Just a few years ago, their mother hightailed it to Oregon for a brand-new guy, a brand-new life. That's just how things go, the people said. Who are you going to blame?

Finn knows that's not what happened with Roza. He knows she was kidnapped, ripped from the cornfields by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember. But the searches turn up nothing, and no one believes him anymore. Not even Sean, who has more reason to find Roza than anyone and every reason to blame Finn for letting her go.

As we follow the stories of Finn, Roza, and the people of Bone Gap—their melancholy pasts, their terrifying presents, their uncertain futures—acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret and forgiveness—a story about how the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.

17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Frightening and beautiful By Heather M Haunting and empowering. I really don't think I can be as elegant as I want to be in reviewing this book because I'm still kind of in awe. I love magical realism, the way the mundane seamlessly blends into the magical, how you're never quite sure what is real, and this did not disappoint. Though we start with and mainly follow the main character, Finn, a teen boy dealing with a mother who abandoned him and his brother, the character who stole the show for me was Roza. Her incredible strength of character is a model we should be showing to our kids - boys AND girls. Her story captivated me from the first. The relationship between Finn and his brother Sean was also fascinating and heartbreaking. The more you got to know the inhabitants of Bone Gap, the more you feel like you're a part of the town.It was a bit slow for me to start, but the mystery of Roza pulled me in and the sinister, otherwordly magic lurking in the gaps of Bone Gap captivated me. This is one of those books I read so fast I was hardly aware of time passing. Though you don't get a full explanation (it is magical realism, after all) of all the otherwordly mysteries in this world, the ending was definitely satisfying. I loved it.

12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Amazing By Nicoleles This book is breathtaking. I just finished it about five minutes ago and am having a hard time organizing my thoughts because this book is just so incredible on so many levels. The prose, for starters. Toe-curlingly good. I caught my breath a few times. The characters are well-drawn and quirky in the best possible way and just so living and breathing and aching that you can't help but feel for them. The story is incredibly original, the magic makes me feel like I'm a little kid again swimming around inside books instead of just reading them. I honestly don't have a single criticism for this book. It's impeccable. Easily in my top 10 books ever. Read it now!

11 of 12 people found the following review helpful. A lovely book, in turns sweet, and dark By MyBookishWays Welcome to Bone Gap, Illinois, where the people are a bit odd, magic lingers. Bone Gap is an apropos name since there are places, or “gaps” in the town where reality is a bit fluid, and otherworldly doors appear. Brothers Sean and Finn O’Sullivan live in Bone Gap, and everyone loves Sean, who is an EMT and has taken care of Finn since their mother ran off a few years before. Finn is different. Certainly different enough for the folks of Bone Gap, already a place a bit left of center, to take notice of. He’s a bit dreamy, has a hard time remembering faces, and he’s infatuated with a girl named Petey who lives with her mother Mel and keeps bees, and he has a best friend named Miguel, whose arms are a bit longer than normal. Finn believes his serious brother hates him, and resents having to care for him since their mother left. The situation has only gotten worse since Roza disappeared.Roza came into the brothers’ lives in need of help, and they gave it. The town, subsequently, fell hard for the lovely Roza. Her hands brought plants and vegetables into the world as if by magic, and since she disappeared, Bone Gap is just a little less greener, the crops more wilted. Finn actually witnessed Roza’s disappearance, and the man that took her, and now he’s spotted that man again. But, no one will listen to Finn (who is frustratingly unable to provide details about the mysterious figure), so he must find a way to get Roza back himself.Meanwhile, Roza is being held in what seems to be a construct of the man that took her (her locations vary, as if in a dream.) He keeps her prisoner, yet grants her any wish (except her freedom, of course), while repeatedly asking her if she loves him yet.Bone Gap has a distinctive folkloric feel to it, and while dark, it’s also quite whimsical, and Laura Ruby’s prose is lyrical and lovely. Finn and Petey, who thinks she is ugly, but who Finn finds beautiful, begin a sweet romance, and spending time with the two of them was one of the great joys of this book. I wish that Bone Gap (and its magic) had been fleshed out a bit more, and we never really know much about the man that kidnaps Roza, but Ruby’s writing is so gorgeous, and the people of Bone Gap so quirky and interesting, those seem like small things. So much of this book is achingly lovely and it’s imminently quotable. If you like magical realism, you’ll love Bone Gap. Laura Ruby’s writing is effortless, and her story of love (familial and romantic) and longing shot through with a generous vein of magic is, well, magical. I raced through this one, and if you’re looking for something different, from a hugely talented author, give this a try.
