On a muggy, late August afternoon in 1936, somewhere along the
banks of Greasy Creek, Life found Grace--walking the dusty mile
between work and home in a brand new pair of leather kitten-heeled
pumps, blond curls bouncing in the sun. Two weeks later, Lifie Jay
Preston and Grace Mollette married, a union that lasted until their
deaths fifty-eight years later. There was something about them,
their daughter Linda would discover, a kind of radiance and love of
living that would mark them in the memories of every person they
encountered--a song that resonates years after their passing.
"Songs of Life and Grace: A Memoir" is their story, told by the
daughter whose own life grew out of their loving ministries and
Appalachian sensibilities. Linda Scott DeRosier, the celebrated
author of "Creeker: A Woman's Journey," draws on family letters and
lore, interviews, and her own recollections to reach a better
understanding of her parents and the families that formed them
both. Along the way, she introduces an unforgettable cast of
characters: the formidable Grandma Emmy; Uncle Burns, an infamous
ladies' man; helpless and simple Aunt Jo; and gentle Pop Pop, who
could peel an apple in one long, unbroken spiral. A stirring,
honest look at Appalachia and a tribute to the unbreakable bonds of
family, "Songs of Life and Grace" establishes DeRosier as one of
the most vital and exciting new voices of the American South.
As in so many areas of Britain sacred wells persist in Scotland in
the face of modernity. Holy Wells: Scotland is an exploration of
just some of the many hundreds of wells in the country, carefully
researched and beautifully photographed by experienced well-hunter
Phil Cope. The book is a sweeping journey from the northwards from
the Borders through mainland Scotland to the Orkney s before
sweeping through the Hebrides to end on the sacred isle of Iona. On
his travels Cope finds a multiplicity of wells with a variety of
functions, ancient and modern. From the wells of Calton Hill in
Edinburgh (place of an annual pagan festival), to modestly
developed springs in fields or on the deserted coastline come
healing wells, cursing wells, and wells named for saints, Satan,
witches, angels, fairies, heroes and poets. And attached to many
are folk tales, myths and legends, which Cope relates in his
accompanying narrative, along conversations with contemporary
well-users and poems inspired by Scottish wells. The first book on
Scottish wells for over three decades, and the first to be so
lavishly illustrated with colour photographs, Holy Wells: Scotland
is both a record of some of the country's many wells and a
celebration of their continuing relevance to the identity of
Scotland today. Holy Wells: Scotland is the fourth title in the
Holy Wells series, which includes books on Wales, Cornwall and
Borderlands.
