Sinossi

In "The Evergreen Tree," Percy MacKaye crafts a compelling lyrical drama that delves deep into themes of love, sacrifice, and the quest for authenticity against a backdrop of nature's timelessness. The play is imbued with a romantic idealism, while also featuring a distinct modernist edge that reflects early 20th-century American literature. MacKaye employs lush poetic language, rich symbolism, and intricate character development, weaving a narrative that examines the struggles between societal expectations and individual desires, ultimately aiming to inspire a reconnection with the natural world. Percy MacKaye was a notable American playwright and poet who drew inspiration from his surroundings, including the natural landscapes of New England. His personal experiences with the burgeoning environmental movement and passion for the arts led him to create works that resonate with social and ecological themes. MacKaye was also influenced by his literary forebears, melding traditional forms with modern sensibilities, which can be seen vividly in "The Evergreen Tree." This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay between nature and humanity, as well as those seeking a narrative that combines romanticism with resonant moral questions. MacKaye'Äôs work not only entertains but also provokes contemplation, making it a timeless piece that deserves a place in both academic and casual reading lists.

    From USA Today bestselling author Rochelle Paige comes a rivals-to-lovers, opposites-attract, small-town romance about finding love in the most unexpected of places. 
     
     
     
    Waverly Duncan had one goal: beat Ryland Moore on his home turf. 
     
     
     
    She was the big-city attorney waltzing into small-town Mooreville to protect her client's interests. As an up-and-coming lawyer in her firm, the last thing she had time for was dating. Her focus was fully on winning the case and becoming partner, not a romance. 
     
     
     
    Ryland never thought he'd fall for opposing counsel. Certainly not one who'd come to his town to represent a developer in a shady deal, let alone a woman who earned the nickname Ice Queen. 
     
     
     
    But things get hot—in the courtroom and between the sheets. 
     
     
     
    Waverly perfected the art of keeping her walls up, but Ryland was dead set on sneaking his way past them to melt the ice around her heart for good. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    Love.  Perhaps the one word solution for everything.  An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for.  A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile.  Love reflects, changes and embraces us all.    
     
    In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country.   
     
    Perhaps our first love is the one that captures us more completely than any other, save of course if we meet ‘the one’.   
     
    In our young years emotions rage, consume, and boil over with an intensity that almost shocks us.  Yet we are devoted to its path and can see no end in sight, perhaps they are ‘the one’.
