The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
Awake or sleeping, Kath Rule dreamed of the Green Mountains; of her grandmother's house, which she had not seen since she was four; and of returning there with her mother. She longed for a home instead of a hotel room; for cool wooded heights instead of the hot streets of a little town in southern Ohio.
But as her mother said, experiences in life were like plants; they grow and come to flower and die. And certain relationships to which Kath was both observer and participant had to be played out before this chapter in her life experience could conclude.
In a quietly penetrating story, Eleanor Cameron evokes a richly detailed backdrop of rural America during World War I against which her characters come to vivid and absorbing life.
