Sinopsis

In "Homespun Tales," Kate Douglas Wiggin weaves a rich tapestry of narrative that captures the simplicity and charm of rural life in New England. Through a series of interconnected stories, Wiggin explores themes of family, community, and the everyday struggles and joys of her characters, all rendered in her distinctive, lyrical prose. The book reflects the literary movement of local color writing that emerged in the late 19th century, celebrating the distinctive social fabric and dialects of specific regions, while promoting a deep sense of nostalgia and belonging. Kate Douglas Wiggin, born in 1856, was a prominent author and social reformer, deeply influenced by the values of compassion and community that surrounded her in Maine. Besides her literary endeavors, her experiences as a founder of kindergartens and her advocacy for children's education uniquely informed her perspective, imbuing her tales with warmth and authenticity. Wiggin's passion for storytelling is not only a reflection of her love for her native New England but also echoes her commitment to social change through literature. "Homespun Tales" is a delightful read that invites readers into a world where simplicity reigns and profound truths emerge from ordinary lives. It is highly recommended for those who appreciate pastoral narratives and wish to explore the heart of American folk culture through a masterful storyteller's lens.

    Victor-Marie Hugo (26 February 1802 - 22 May 1885) was a French poet, novelist, essayist, playwright, and dramatist of the Romantic movement. During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.
    BOOK 8: ENCHANTMENTS AND DESOLATIONS: The reader has probably understood that Éponine, having recognized through the gate, the inhabitant of that Rue Plumet whither Magnon had sent her, had begun by keeping the ruffians away from the Rue Plumet, and had then conducted Marius thither, and that, after many days spent in ecstasy before that gate, Marius, drawn on by that force which draws the iron to the magnet and a lover towards the stones of which is built the house of her whom he loves, had finally entered Cosette's garden as Romeo entered the garden of Juliet.

    Charlee: I knew the second I'd arrived back in Portland he'd know I was here within days, so it wasn't a shock to me that he came knocking on my door, literally. Kaden was my first love, but he isn't the same man anymore. These days he goes by another name, Kinetic, one he was given when he went overseas. Now he's in a biker club and living a totally different life. I came back here to take care of my elderly mother, but I didn't come alone. So much has changed over the last decade and as soon as I saw him, everything came rushing back. Will I be able to get out of Portland unscathed, or is Kinetic going to weasel his way into my heart like Kaden did? 
     
     
     
    Kinetic: Years ago, I enlisted in the Marines and thought my life was going just the way I planned. Had the girl and the career I always wanted. We were kids, just starting our lives and had so much to look forward to. I had it all figured out, but the kicker is it never happened. I've lived the last twelve years mainly overseas working alongside my brothers. Coming home we started the Deathstalkers MC and I never looked back. Now I'm standing on the front porch of Charlee's mom's house, glaring down at her as she holds onto the one thing she knew I always wanted. My kid. Decisions have to be made and something's going to give. Either way she'll be mine again.
