  Inspired by the author' s irrepressible grandmother, A Woman of Independent Means is a bestselling novel about Bess Steed Garner, a determined woman at the beginning of the twentieth century. At a time when women had few choices, Bess inherits a legacy— not only of wealth but of determination and desire. Following the novel' s success, the story was adapted into an acclaimed one-woman show starring Barbara Rush, and this audio presentation is Rush's tour de force performance of that play. Told entirely through letters, the action follows Bess' life from 1899, when she is in the fourth grade, to her death in 1977. What evolves is a moving portrait of a memorable character.

  War is always a tragedy. There may be a winner of sorts but always a loser.  The cost in injuries, death, destruction can never be fully recovered even if glossed over by a military or political elite that proclaims otherwise. 
   
  Even further down on the scale of mankind’s self-destructive baseness is Civil War.  One Nation with Two Sides locked in a ferocious fight is inevitably more painful and more despoiling.  Civilians are the bait in the trap.  Two sets of values may be proclaimed and many offer loyalty to one or the other but society also has those who just want the space and time to live, to enjoy their family and friends.  Each to his own. 
   
  In the American Civil War that began in 1861 the War was seemingly fought to end Slavery.  A War for Good.  The result a win for the good guys but a society that still bears fractures from this seminal period.   
   
  The stories in this volume show the true scars that are endured as a riven Nations authors try to explain and reconcile.

  The pedigrees of our county families, arranged in diagrams on the pages of county histories, mostly appear at first sight to be as barren of any touch of nature as a table of logarithms. But given a clue-the faintest tradition of what went on behind the scenes, and this dryness as of dust may be transformed into a palpitating drama. Out of such pedigrees and supplementary material most of the following stories have arisen and taken shape. (Summary adapted from the preface)
