On a summer morning in 2003, two adult mute swans and their cygnet sailed down Virginia's Indian Creek and into the lives of Gwen Keane and Bill Balderston. In the upcoming years, Gwen and Bill welcomed more of these graceful birds to the dock of their waterside home, and with each swan pair came new lessons to learn, new secrets of swan life to discover. Comprised of the couple's photographs, memories, and insights into the delicate relationship between mankind and the natural world, Swan Wait is the humbling and heart-warming record of two humans and their unlikely teachers.

<p>Local Color, based on the author’s personal experience of growing up in a rural waterman and farm community in the 1950’s describes an undeveloped area where happy children thrived on the enjoyment of freedom and simplistic living. She talks about the people, their personalities, contributions and the influences that set this community apart from city living or other rural areas. The people described in this book are hard-working generations of Virginians that represent a whole society---not just a particular class. The community survived and depended on each individual. Everyone had a role in survival. People were courteous. People were supportive. People were generous. Yet, it was a community of separatism. Black people lived within the confines society imposed.</p>
