Book Description

A Romantic Times Award-winning Author

Breezing across the country in her white Mercedes, Kelly Conover felt free for the first time in months . . . free from New York, and free from the persistent Brad York. But she has a sense of foreboding as she heads for her sister Kim's home in Colorado. There'd always been a psychic link between the twins, and Kelly has a premonition of trouble. Her fears are not without foundation: Kim is nowhere to be found in the beautiful mountain ski country.

Book Description

How much of history is lost over time because only the most exciting, or most dangerous, events were passed down through time? Most "old west history" contains accounts of Indian attacks, gunfights in the streets, and famous outlaws and lawmen. Although those events certainly occurred, it is doubtful that that is a true picture of everyday life in the early west. The real story is that of the fortitude and perseverance needed by these early pioneers just to survive. The true cowboy, although made into a hero by history and literature, only existed for about thirty of forty years, during the open range era of the west. That era faded rather rapidly with the arrival of civilization in the form of the "Iron Horse" and homesteaders.

A Real Nice Surprise!.......2004-01-31

I had never thought of Bangkok as being a good city to walk in, what with the heat and the smells, the pollution and treacherous sidewalks, I preferred to use tuk-tuks, cycle cabs or even the canal boats, but this surprising little guidebook changed my mind about all of that! Apart from being useful and practical, it contains a wealth of odd little bits of information about some forgotten corners of the city as well as some really nice little sketches by the author himself. It's a real find.

A great snapshot of a unique Native American experience.......1999-09-03

Garrod & Larimore's First Person, First Peoples is a fine collection of personal accounts of leaving home. The stories are at once unique and universal. They are expressive of an experience to which Native Americans can truly relate, and yet, set on the campus of one of America's most selective colleges, the stories are from a elite few who may be speaking of an experience that is virtually impossible to share. This is valuable as an oral history, and perhaps more importantly, as a voice of the Native American which remains too infrequently captured. Still, we must find those voices which are seldom heard, rather than continuing the habit of letting the elite culture speak for us all.

Stellar, a first class work on Native education.......1999-05-15

This was a truly wonderful and accessible book about Native American educational achievment. The story of Dartmouth College and its relationship to Native American education is captivating. The honesty of the students is at time heartbreaking and yet is continually inspiring.

Book Description

It is election time in Haiti, and bombs are going off in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. During a visit from her home in rural Haiti, Celiane Espérance and her mother are nearly killed. Looking at her country with new eyes, Celiane gains a fresh resolve to be reunited with her father in Brooklyn, New York. The harsh winter and concrete landscape of her new home are a shock to Celiane, who witnesses her parents' struggle to earn a living, her brother's uneasy adjustment to American society, and her own encounters with learning difficulties and school violence.

Book review of behind the mountain

My book is called Behind the Mountain by Edwidge Danticat.
A family is broke and they are trying to get to New York. They live in Haiti. Bombs are going off all over the place. A girl in the family is trying to help her mom from almost dying from a bomb. That was my introduction.

The main characters are the dad, manman which is the mom and Celiane the dater. Manman is almost dead from a bomb. Celiane want's her dad. The father is in New York giving money to the mom and dater and brother who also has money. The brother is working to give them money to. Those were all the characters.

In this book they want to leave there country. There is a lot of bombing happing so they want to leave their country Haiti. In Haiti 2 kiddies died from the bombing happing in Haiti. They finally got to New York and they were happy because they would not die any more. When Celiane got to New York she had a good school and like before. That was my setting.

The family is trying to get courage to move to New York with there dad. They don't want to be in bombs any more. The girl want's a better school. The family is trying to get money from people to go to New York. The theme is courage.

If you read this book you will be able to visualize the book. So if you read it now I won't let you stop. This book is about one big adventure in 2 different countries. If you like weapons I think you should read this book. That was my conclusion.

Must read for young readers, or anyone interested in Haiti.......2005-04-30

Not only is this a well-written, interesting story of a young girl's life in Haiti, it truly gives the reader a taste of what Haiti is like today. My daughter, age 10, and I read it together, after my first trip to Haiti on a medical mission. I felt like I was back in Haiti, and loved the description, historical information and perspective of a young girl watching her life and country change. Behind the Mountains is written in diary form, and really draws the reader in, allowing her to see things through the eye's of the young narrator as her family is uprooted and moved to another country.

I highly recommend this to young readers (4th-6th grade) or even adults who enjoy historical fiction, learning about other cultures, or are undergoing family changes.

I give this a 5 star rating for the wonderful prose, easy readability, smooth incorporation of beautiful cultural and historical facts, and engaging characters.

Young Immigrants Featured Review.......2004-12-06

As I walked through the leafy Boston suburb, I saw a uniformed chauffeur waiting outside a big house. He was gazing into the trees, obviously enjoying the quiet spring morning. A nametag on his lapel identified him as "Jean."

"Are you from Haiti?" I asked.

He nodded, surprised.

"I just read a great book about your country," I told him. "I learned about the beautiful mountains and hibiscus flowers there."

I watched the smile spread across his face. Were it not for Edwidge Danticat's young adult novel, Behind the Mountains, I might have walked wordlessly past this stranger. Now I was curious about his journey, and he was thrilled by my knowledge of his country and culture. That's the purpose of Orchard's First Person Fiction series - to create understanding and empathy for the immigrants around us. Using fictional diary entries, Danticat recounts Celiane Esperance's journey from a rural town to Port-au-Prince to Brooklyn. I painlessly learned about Haitian history and politics, and gained insight into why some Haitians desire to immigrate to America.

The book is also particularly written for immigrant teens. Danticat, the acclaimed author of three adult novels, expertly depicts Celiane's high hopes of seeing her father again and the subsequent stressful reality of a family reunion. Reading about Celiane's first miserable days in New York will encourage immigrant teens to welcome other newcomers. As Celiane describes her sorrow over her father's conflict with her older brother Moy, I remembered my older siblings hammering out compromises with our parents. These and other themes common to immigrants from any country make me wish this book had been around when I was reading out on that Flushing fire escape.

Interesting to read.......2004-08-25

Read as part of a course on bilingualism & biculturalism this book provided a personal glimpse into a child's life and how it changed.

An Efficient Snapshot of Eyewitness Accounts in America.......2006-07-29

Our homeschooling family has used this book as a supplement in teaching American history. The first person accounts are brief and sometimes gruesome (as history is). Accounts of The Boston Massacre and The Alamo provide first person accounts without leaving out the pain of said events. The text provides several opportunities for defining and discussing word choices (i.e. expanding vocabulary) for children when we chose to read aloud.

However, it's not just the horror of history that is covered in this sampling. It's events that have shaped our history - like Sojourner Truth Speaking, Wings Over Kitty Hawk, A Mickey Mouse Production and more. The accounts chosen also provide a flavor for the times: The Fireside Chat, The Age of the Atom, and Kent State are covered chronologically and sandwiched between other important historical snippets.

We've always loved using first person accounts for teaching history. This resource is a great way to cover short overviews without the research. We've recommended it to several other homeschool families studying history.

Note: Though we used this resource for teaching children, we have also been careful to selectively choose which accounts are suitable for each of our children.

Book Description

The novelist William Dean Howells described autobiography as the most democratic of American literary genres. Autobiography has offered a voice to women, African Americans, Native Americans, and others whose writings have often been excluded from the literary canon.The men and women presented here observed, shaped, or participated in many of the most exciting and important events of American history. First Person Past lets them speak for themselves.From the hundreds of American autobiographies, the editors have chosen twelve for each of Volumes I and II of First Person Past because they are interesting history and good literature. Their literary and historical virtues have been preserved as edited for inclusion in each volume.
