Beschreibung

In "Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories," Harriet Beecher Stowe engages readers with a vibrant collection of tales that reflect the rich tapestry of early American life. Set against the backdrop of Oldtown, Stowe weaves together folklore and moral anecdotes through the voice of Sam Lawson, a character emblematic of the rustic storyteller tradition. The book's simplicity in style belies its depth, as it tackles profound themes of community, perseverance, and the human condition, situated within the literary context of the mid-19th century, where storytelling was paramount in shaping cultural identity and social values. Harriet Beecher Stowe, renowned for her groundbreaking work "Uncle Tom's Cabin," draws upon her New England upbringing and her experiences as an educator and social reformer to inform her narrative style in these stories. Her innate understanding of the complexities of American society and her advocacy against slavery resonate throughout the text, making her voice both poignant and reflective of the time while appealing to moral sensibilities. "Sam Lawson's Oldtown Fireside Stories" is highly recommended for those interested in exploring the intersection of storytelling and social consciousness in early American literature. Stowe's deft characterization and ability to evoke empathy invite readers to consider the enduring power of stories to illuminate the human experience, making this collection a must-read for both literary enthusiasts and historians.

Unable to feel emotions, angels are God’s devoted soldiers, who are tasked with carrying out God’s will. One of which is to answer the question: can angels handle the gift of emotions without it interfering with their loyalty to God? 
Enter Laramie. 
Angel Laramie is given emotions as a trial to decide once and for all if angels are ready to feel again. However, she soon becomes sidetracked by an infatuation with a human called Maggie, prompting her to neglect her orders and allow her mission to fail. She returns to her superiors in hopes of helping the human only to learn her feelings were a test. Her failure means her banishment to Earth until she fades away forever. 
Magda Mercy is a twenty-three-year-old college student with dreams of becoming a doctor. Her life changes forever when her brother returns on leave from the military with devastating family news. 
In exile, Laramie is confronted by Lucifer with a confounding revelation that changes everything Laramie has ever known as an angel. Lucifer presents an offer of eventual immortality in exchange for Laramie’s ceaseless fidelity. When Laramie declines, Lucifer lashes out by tormenting the innocent Maggie as punishment for Laramie’s refusal. Laramie must now do everything in her power to save Maggie and prevent Lucifer from realizing his goals, even if it means reaching oblivion sooner.
