Fourteen-year-old Quaker Avery Bennett has learned much from his mother about treating wounds and illnesses, and when he and his dog Gunner head into the Civil War battlefields in search of his Uncle Fredric in 1862, he finds many who need his help.
Author Kevin Campbell in this work examines in detail the swirling cavalry fight at Brandy Station. He also gives a lucid, well-written account of the debacle that befell Robert H. Milroy and his ill-fated division at Winchester and Carters Woods. Those battles, bloody in their own right, were soon relegated to the back pages when the horrific Battle of Gettysburg began dominating the press and the postwar reminiscences of the veterans. We can learn much from this new work, with its treasury of pertinent eyewitness accounts and clear prose. His skill in digging through the regimentals, official records, diaries, and other materials is evident, as well as his ability to interweave them into a cohesive narrative that brings the battles, personalities, and long hours of marching to light.
Can a new love teach her to dance again? When a tragedy halted Nye Sanders’ rise to the top as an upcoming tango star, she lost much more than her career. Forced to live without everything she loved most, she worked hard to build a new life that’s nothing like the one she left behind. Above all, she’s determined never to hurt again. As an overworked lawyer, Cullen Chandler is too busy for a relationship. From the moment he meets Nye, his heart begs him to readjust his priorities. But even if he could free himself from the job that controls his life, would Nye’s secrets and the walls around her heart ever let him close? The more powerfully Cullen and Nye are drawn together, the more insurmountable the divide grows that is keeping them apart. Will they trust God and risk love before they lose each other forever?

Their parents were abducted, but before they were taken, left the children with a mysterious locket. Shortly after, Sam and Alana were taken to an orphanage, only to realize that it was far from ordinary. It was an orphanage for children with unique powers. These powers allowed them to gain certain characteristics of animals. Sam and Alana then discover that they belong to a secluded race of people, who have been in hiding for hundreds of years. While trying to put the pieces together and come up with a plan to rescue their parents, they are transferred to a mystical island, the Adventure Island, whose secrets are as profound as its history. Everything they once knew, and thought was real, was in question.

One Blood traces both the life of the famous black surgeon and blood plasma pioneer Dr. Charles Drew and the well-known legend about his death. On April 1, 1950, Drew died after an auto accident in rural North Carolina. Within hours, rumors spread: the man who helped create the first American Red Cross blood bank had bled to death because a whites-only hospital refused to treat him. Drew was in fact treated in the emergency room of the small, segregated Alamance General Hospital. Two white surgeons worked hard to save him, but he died after about an hour. In her compelling chronicle of Drew's life and death, Spencie Love shows that in a generic sense, the Drew legend is true: throughout the segregated era, African Americans were turned away at hospital doors, either because the hospitals were whites-only or because the 'black beds' were full. Love describes the fate of a young black World War II veteran who died after being turned away from Duke Hospital following an auto accident that occurred in the same year and the same county as Drew's. African Americans are shown to have figuratively 'bled to death' at white hands from the time they were first brought to this country as slaves. By preserving their own stories, Love says, they have proven the enduring value of oral history. General Interest/Race Relations
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • An "extraordinary ... profoundly moving" history (The New York Times Book Review) of the American Civil War that reveals the ways that death on such a scale changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation. An estiated 750,000 soldiers lost their lives in the American Civil War. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be seven and a half million. In This Republic of Suffering, Drew Gilpin Faust describes how the survivors managed on a practical level and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the unprecedented carnage with its belief in a benevolent God. Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, nurses, northerners and southerners come together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality. With a new introduction by the author, and a new foreword by Mike Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
