Howlin' At The Dixie Moon is a compilation of stories by award winning newspaper columnist Don Lively. The book is down home Southern Humor at it's finest. If you're from the South, or from any place in rural America, you'll recognize yourself or someone you know in these pages. You may not have known of the author's Uncle Enoch but you have legendary members of your own family whose tales are still being told years after they are gone. You might have never heard of Danny's Dairy Bar but there was some place very much like it in the young years of your past where you and your friends hung out. You were probably never sprayed point blank by a skunk in his last defiant act, or chased out of a cypress swamp by a flaming ghost but you've probably had your own similar misadventures. As long as there's a place called Dixie, as long as the American landscape remains mostly rural, as long as there are dirt roads and peculiar kinfolk and peanut patches and a vast array of folks who proudly call themselves Southerners, there will be stories told. This book will keep the reader smiling, laughing and occasionally shedding a nostalgic tear or two and recalling a time that was a little easier, a little slower paced and a whole lot of fun.

Lucy Ladd Stratton combined her diaries and letters home to write this memoir about her discovery of wild flowers to paint and her accompanying adventures. Upon Lucy's death in 1936, her 1568 watercolor wild flower paintings were given to the Library of Congress. Sandy Nellis Lane photographed many of the paintings to insert them into Lucy's prose.

How many times do you remember your parents saying, "Be a good sport?" Or "Wait your turn?" And don t forget, "Yes, Please." These are the character-building phrases that we heard when we were growing up, and they are the social courtesies all parents want to teach their children today. This is a book that takes those wonderful pearls of wisdom and translates them into knits and purls. Included in this book are many charming sweaters, blankets and pillows with skill levels ranging from easy to intermediate. The instructions are very readable with graphs of the entire project especially for the knitter who wants to see the complete pattern at one glance. The yarns used are all natural and there are even buttons you can make from found twigs. The patterns use lots of color because who can resist seeing children in playful hues. But you can also find some earth tones to match the countryside in which the book was photographed.

It is possible to heal from sexual abuse. In "Soaring Above the Ashes: Thriving Beyond Childhood Sexual Abuse," a diverse group of survivors tell their stories in their own voices. They describe the journey from helplessness to empowerment, from isolation to connection, from grief to joy. By giving their names, telling their stories, and showing their faces in black and white portraits, they have defied the perpetrators who could no longer shame or threaten them into silence. These men and women are proud of who they have become. Between the stories are essays Dr. Samuelson wrote about her own healing journey as a survivor with recovered memories and a psychologist who has specialized in treating trauma for over 35 years.

Few people command the knowledge of Tidewater North Carolina and Virginia records and the ancestors they point to as John Anderson Brayton does. Transcriptions of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, Deed Book 1, 1688-1705 marks the eleventh volume in Brayton's series Colonial Records of Surry and Isle of Wight Counties, Virginia. This deed book, to quote Mr. Brayton, "contains a little of everything, although there are mostly deeds, depositions, and a few wills scattered throughout. It seems, finally, to be a companion to the will books, which were now fully dedicated to probate information. . . . The depositions were particularly valuable in providing ages and personal information not often contained in the land transfers." In all, the researcher will find more than 3,000 references to late-17th-century Isle of Wight inhabitants in the name index to the volume.
