Phoebe
by Patricia DizenzoPhoebe was sixteen--sweet sixteen--when she realized there would be no turning back to childhood games. For she had ventured into the adult world with its complex rules--and lost. She was pregnant ... and terribly frightened. Desperately she sought someone--anyone--to guide her in the awesome decisions she knew she had to make. There was her mother, with whom she shared the shrill anger and combat of adolescence, while her father--always controlled and remote--remained aloof. And dear, funny Paul, father of the unwanted child, who was so much the young boy discovering his maleness. Just two months ago life was safe, sunny and promising and the hours spent with him were a sweet exploration of love. Now there was only a raw, aching reality and the agonizing search for a way out ...
Photo by Brady: A Picture of the Civil War
by Jennifer ArmstrongMathew B. Brady was already a famous photographer by the time the Civil War began. But the war gave Brady something else: The chance to make a RECORD OF A WAR -- this war -- in a way that had never been done before: WITH TRUE-TO-LIFE PICTURES INSTEAD OF JUST WORDS. He hired field photographers to travel with the troops, equipped them with cameras and wagons filled with supplies, and sent them out with the directive to make a visual record of the war and to show people scenes they could have only read about before. The pictures the field photographers sent back were HAUNTING, BEAUTIFUL, DEVASTATING, AND TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE. And thousands of them included the notation "Photo by Brady." Though Brady didn't actually take the photographs, he was the genius behind them. His vision and foresight gave the country images that not only touched the people at the time, but have gone on to leave an indelible mark on the collective memory of this country. And the name of Mathew Brady will always be remembered with them. In Photo By Brady, Jennifer Armstrong tells the story of the Civil War as seen through the lenses of its recorders. It is a moving and elegant look at the brutal and deadly time.
