Three young friends enter the most important season of their lives. But relationships have changed, and only time will tell if Lindsay, Katie, and Lizzie Anne have made the right choices. Three young women are about to change their lives: Lizzie Anne and Samuel have decided to get married, and Lindsay is about to be baptized into the Amish faith and is being courted by Matthew. While Katie Kauffman is happy for her friends who seem to have settled their futures, she is also finding herself something of a fifth wheel. When Lindsay’s sister Jessica returns to Bird-in-Hand, she finds that Jake Miller has moved on with his life. He lost hope that Jessica would ever be satisfied to settle in rural Pennsylvania and takes comfort in becoming close friends with Katie. However, it’s not an easy road as Jake is Mennonite and Katie has just been baptized. Her father forbids them to see each other, adamant that his daughter marry an Amish man. Take a trip to Bird-in-Hand, Pennsylvania, where you’ll meet the delightful women of the Kauffman Amish Bakery in Lancaster County. As each woman’s story unfolds, you will share in her joys, dreams . . . and secrets.

Shelby Foote's magnificently orchestrated novel anticipates much of the subject matter of his monumental Civil War trilogy, rendering the clash between North and South with a violence all the more shocking for its intimacy. Love in a Dry Season describes an erotic and economic triangle, in which two wealthy and fantastically unhappy Mississippi families—the Barcrofts and the Carrutherses—are joined by an open-faced fortune hunter from the North, a man whose ruthlessness is matched only by his inability to understand the people he tries to exploit and his fatal incomprehension of the passions he so casually ignites. Combining a flawless sense of place with a Faulknerian command of the grotesque, Foote's novel turns a small cotton town into a sexual battleground as fatal as Vicksburg or Shiloh—and one where strategy is no match for instinct and tradition.
SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-font-style: italic"> “ Felicio Martin’s Eli’s House of Poetry is a work that deserves attention. Martin’s poetry has a sensual innocence, an ardent tenderness which surprises again and again. One feels both flesh and emotion fused into tight lines that sing of youth with aged wisdom. It is upon us to read, ask, and try to meet the author’s hopes.” —Brent Buell, Novelist, Actor, Teacher “A true poet inhabits his or her world. And so it is with Felicio Martin, a young poet with a clear vision of what he wants to say and who is keenly aware of the power of language and the poet’s duty to challenge us with his words and images. There is poignancy in these poems of love, betrayal, loneliness and yearning as well as strength and vulnerability in his passionate need to express himself, in his need to create an interlocutor –us—his public. He invites us to inhabit his world and his home, “Eli’s House of Poetry,” in his moving tribute to the father he never knew.”—Dr. Gloria F. Waldman, Professor, Author
