Summary

Between the wars, the lives of four neighboring English families intersect in this “highly recommended” saga by a New York Times–bestselling author (Sunday Express). Four English families’ hopes, dreams, and struggles are played out against a radically changing world. Living side by side on Manor Park Avenue as their neighborhood begins to recover from the Great War only to be pushed into a new one, these neighbors stick together through thick and thin.  The Dreaming Suburb: In the spring of 1919, Sgt. Jim Carver arrives home to care for his seven children after the death of his wife. The Carvers’ neighbor Eunice Fraser has lost her husband and must now care for her son alone. Edith Clegg takes in lodgers and looks after her sister, Becky, whose mind has been shattered by a past trauma. And no one knows much about the mysterious Friths, who moved to the Avenue before the war.  The Avenue Goes to War: Jim Carver dedicates himself to the war effort, but his eldest son, Archie, is having an illicit affair with a neighbor, threatening to undo all of his accomplishments. While Esther Frith lives a solitary life seemingly oblivious to the war going on outside, Harold Godbeer hates what the conflict is doing to his country. Living side by side as their neighborhood becomes a battleground, two generations of Manor Park Avenue must unite if they—and their way of life—are to survive during wartime.

    The novel is believed to have had a profound effect on the North’s view of slavery. In fact, when he met Harriet Beecher Stowe, President Lincoln is said to have commented, “So you’re the little lady whose book started the Civil War.” Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. First published on March 20, 1852, the story focuses on the tale of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave, the central character around whose life the other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve. The novel depicts the harsh reality of slavery while also showing that Christian love and faith can overcome even something as evil as enslavement of fellow human beings.An Author's Republic audio production.

    Captain Jim Hollister leads his team on deadly missions through southern Vietnam in this gritty war novel from the author of Long Range Patrol.There is a little bit of Jim Hollister in all of us. Captain Jim Hollister ended his first tour of duty in Vietnam laid up in a field hospital. His most serious wounds were deep inside. Back home in America, he often woke up in the middle of the night in the grip of terrifying nightmares. But nothing—not even his long-suffering fiancée, Susan—could stop him from going back to serve his country. This time around, Jim serves as operations officer for Juliet Company, a Ranger squad with high demands placed on it to find and eliminate Viet Cong forces slipping across the Cambodian border. Fighting the enemy in the rice paddy terrain between Saigon and the border requires even more planning, training, and battlefield guile than do the tropical rain forests of the Central Highlands.Night Work brings to vivid life the courage and selfless dedication of the Army Rangers in Vietnam—and the profound costs of war.
