Sound Rising challenges our perception of Long Island Sound in many surprising ways. The Sound was at the forefront of American trade with the West Indies and its location placed it in a position to influence the course of history during the critical years between 1750 and 1820. Its multitude of small ports, coves, and navigable rivers provided a distinct advantage by thwarting British efforts to enforce trade restrictions and collect taxes. Merchants' desire for free trade and the avoidance of customs duties set the stage for war. Long Island Sound played a crucial role in America's Revolutionary War victory when its naval vessels, privateers, and whaleboat raiders swarmed out of these same ports to interdict British supplies and force major changes in the enemy's strategic war plans. This groundbreaking, true story relates the Sound's involvement in the capture of Fort Louisbourg, rampant smuggling, the Revolutionary War, the Undeclared War with France and the War of 1812.
"A person has the choice to forgive, if not; harboring un-forgiveness is a needless task that deprives people of healing from wounds that exposes bitterness and resentment in their lives. There is a deeper purpose of this book that focuses on acceptance, forgiveness and love. Midnight Song is a book about the injustices and cruelty of the Jim Crow south and a woman who escapes a chain gain prison farm to reunite with her children with the help of a mysterious traveler."
