The first three books in Chris Vobe's 'The Water Tower', a spellbinding series of literary fiction, now available in one volume!
 
Reunion: When journalist Adam Chapman returns to the village of his childhood, what he finds at first is an English idyll, untouched and unspoiled. But when plans to demolish the old Water Tower are announced, the perfect world of Little Bassington is fractured. Battle lines are drawn and long-buried secrets are on the cusp of being unearthed. As Adam struggles to navigate his own past, he finds himself drawn into an unexpected circle of acquaintances – including a woman from the Library to whom each of them will becoming inextricably linked. In the captivating first volume of the series, facets of love and loss intertwine, resulting in a raw and uncompromising tale that throws a spotlight on the complex dynamics of a community grappling with profound change.

With the community left reeling, more than one resident finds themselves out in the cold. Elsewhere, Victoria Kendall is forced to navigate a high-stakes political game of cat-and-mouse as the sinister figure of Robert Grainger stands poised to play his hand. For those embroiled in the fight to save the Water Tower, destiny is calling.

    Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award Winner, 2022  
    The Thursday Murder Club meets Southern charm in this mystery/thriller when three retirees at the Independence Retirement Community team up to solve two mysteries related to the death of a 96-year-old resident. Why was his manuscript about the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence missing when they found his body? And why did his handwritten will disinherit his beloved granddaughter (his only heir), and leave his $50 million fortune to Sue Ellen Parker, the most despised resident at the Indie?  
    At the urging of Chuck Yeager Alexander (conspiracy theorist, resident rabble-rouser) and Harriet Keaton (whip-smart, with an extreme dislike of Sue Ellen Parker), Craig Travail (savvy trial lawyer, reluctant retiree) goes to court to challenge the dead man’s will for the granddaughter. This decision sets in motion a series of dangerous events that could lead the threesome to discover the answer to a colonial mystery that has evaded historians for 250 years, what President John Adams called "one of the deepest mysteries that every occurred to me." That is, if they don’t die trying.

    This collection includes two of Emerson’s essays: History and Intellect. Emerson wrote most of his essays to be presented as lectures first, and later revised them for print. The essay History explores the nature and importance of historical understanding. Emerson holds that history is not simply a jumble of events and facts, but rather a living and dynamic force that can inspire and guide human action. In his essay Intellect, Emerson notes that the intellectual power of humans separates them from all other living beings on earth. He describes how, when one for only a few moments withdraws oneself from the world and all of its stimulating rush, we place ourselves in a position where truths can be revealed.
