Journey to a place where time lingers like trees growing sideways after the last hurricane ravaged the Jamaican village At night DanDan reads by the kerosene lamp on the dinner table He rummages through the old family storybook as Grendel snarls and claws his jagged nails from the torn pages Uneasy with the feeling that his life fits a Medieval tale DanDan furrows his brow and flips the pageThe pale smoky lamp struggles to keep at bay ghosts of his fathers father who built their old house Outside the relentless wind blusters through the hills and he wonders if he will escape Fathers generational curseThe smell of Mammas sweet potato pudding fills the air temptingly DanDan is not allowed to touch the pudding until morning when it is cool but he rises to snip a piece One taste and life is sweet It takes a stolen kiss beneath a ghost tree before DanDan attempts an escape from village life On the way a seer foretells that a bloody trail will ruin his innocent valley Murder and superstition haunt his path and in town no welcome awaits a backward Mocho mountain boy Fortune will play its own tricky hand He is caught in a forbidden romance with the daughter of the most powerful man in town

Think of yourself as a time traveler a visitor who has just gone back to a Virginia plantation in 1859 at Christmastime The Big House is awash with light and color Elegance and beauty dazzle your eyes at every turn Theres plenty of food and warm hospitality But the people seem uneasy Listen to their conversations Theyre talking about John Browns raid on Harpers Ferry slave insurrections secession and possible war Now take a walk to the slave Quarters There is no grandeur here The wretchedness is staggering People live in cramped oneroom cabins with dirt floors Yet theres a celebration going on eating singing and dancing Does this mean the slaves are happy and contented No Listen carefully to their songs and stories They are mostly of the hope that freedom is coming soon The events and customs we describe in the book are historically accurate The conversations and dialogue are real so is the setting However everything we use could not and would not have happened on one plantation For this reason we recreated a Big House and Quarters based on real people events and places located in Virginia 1850 Why Virginia Because the Jamestown Colony is where the first American Christmas was observed and where many of our present holiday traditions began Remember while youre reading that this is more than a seasonal account It is the story of a region and its people on the eve of a war When that war ended the great plantations were never the same taken from the authors note

Rise of the Cajun Mariners carries the reader into a unique previously unexplored realm the old wild and wooly oilfield boat business This international industry was born in Louisianas bayou country and pioneered by Cajuns The book follows four of these Frenchspeaking trailblazers as they scrape to buy and build their first boats and struggle toward success but this is about more that an inspirational pursuit of the American dream Its a candid account of a colorful time in a vital business The story evolves from the awkward launch of the inland marine oilfilefd in the late 1930s and early 1940s through the alternating boom and doom years of the 1950s and 1960s up to the roaring 1970s down into the 1980s bust and back up toward a more realistic present As the boatmen race against the competition and time many of them take a global journey In the 1960s Nolty Theriot helps bring the oilfield to the virgin turbulent waters of the North Sea setting the stage for an unforgettable culture clash between the Cajuns and the Europeans In the 1970s Bobby Orgeron sails his supply boats into Central America and discovers a land full of rich tropical opportunity and zany banana backwardness As Bobby Nolty and the others navigate from Nicaragua to Norway from Colombia to California and from Africa to the Arctic Circle they spread their Cajun ingenuity across the globe
