The reader will come to a greater understanding of what Americans believe, and how this belief structure fuels the debates that dominate the issues on our evening news broadcasts. The Holy Vote examines the way Americans worship, how organized religion and politics intersect in America, and how this powerful collision is transforming the current and future American mind-set Not since the Civil War has the United States been so polarized-politically and ideologically. But at the very heart of this fracture is a fascinating rig and paradoxical marriage between our country's politics and religions. Over the past several election cycles, the differences between so-called "Red America"-conservative, church-affiliated, suburban, and rural-and "Blue America"-urban, secular, and socially liberal-have hardened. Although on most days, these two big American mainstreams move on parallel tracks, they increasingly find themselves head to head, ready to fight at the slightest offense. They react to new stories in different ways. They react to government power in different ways. They certainly vote in different ways. With The Holy Vote, Ray Suarez explores the advent of this polarization and how it is profoundly changing the way in which we live our lives. With hands-on reporting, Suarez explores the attitudes and beliefs of the people behind the voting numbers, the places in which these new beliefs are being born, and how the political divide is manifesting itself across the country. The reader will come to a greater understanding of how Americans believe, and how this belief structure fuels the debates that dominate the issues on our evening news. First edition [Stated].

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Debra Lill (Jacket photograph) and Don Perdue (au (illustratore). Fourth Printing [Stated]. [8], 342 pages. This copy has an author written and signed inscription that reads: "For Lauren Rubenstien - Wishes for a most wonderful birthday - from Steve. - and more, Kate Lehrer June 18,1998". An American and a French woman in 19th-century Paris work their way around the rigid rules ofsociety. This moving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over career advancement, yet avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation. Kate Lehrer (born Kate Tom Staples; December 17, 1939) is an American writer and was a panelist on the Diane Rehm Book Club on NPR. Lehrer has written novels, as well as numerous short stories, essays, and reviews. Out of Eden won the Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Novel. Confessions of a Bigamist, described by the Washington Post as whimsical and droll. Publishers Weekly describes Lehrer's writing style as intelligent and mannered. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Meeting in Paris in the 1880s, American widow Lydia Fulgate and disinherited French socialite Charlotte Duret chafe under society's restrictions. Unwilling to be imprisoned in marriage, the two travel to Kansas, of all places, buy land, build twin houses and settle down to raise sheep in cattle country. The town of Huddleston doesn't know what to make of Lydia, the controlling idealist, and Charlotte, the vulnerable but resilient realist, as they fashion their lives on the brutal, beautiful Kansas prairies. Over the years, the two are joined by friends from Paris and engage in secret love affairs, their lives eased by the sage advice of their maid, Norah, who sympathizes with their yearning to free themselves from society's dictums but sees the costs, which Charlotte and Lydia ignore totally. In her intelligent, mannered style, Lehrer ably portrays social pressures and conventions of the period and writes well-nuanced dialogue. Derived from a Kirkus review: A strange novel about two society women who attempt to create a feminist utopia in turn-of-the-century Kansas. Lydia, an American in Paris, is immersed as the story begins in a cat-and-mouse romance with a shifty Lothario who mistakes her for one of the hordes of wealthy American girls sent to Europe to find titled husbands. Lydia, however, has little to offer: Her tiny fortune is being whittled away by the demands of Parisian society. Newly thrown into the marriage game is the headstrong Charlotte, and she too is indifferent to the prospect of marriage, which she interprets as servitude. After a series of broken hearts, familial and romantic, the two become fast friends and decide to become pioneers. In search of their ``essence,'' the two hope to escape the rigid class and social distinctions of an ostentatious society in favor of a simpler, more meaningful way of life. Or as Charlotte chirps: ``We can discover what it really means to be a woman and, in the process, liberate ourselves from other people's definitions. We can be free!'' So with trunkloads of enthusiasm, the two purchase land in Kansas, building two identical homes, connected by a walkway, christening their new world Twin House Farms. A quaint idea, though the charm dampens and they forget all about capturing their ``essence'' when confronted by the hardships of prairie life. After years of hardship, the women are defeated thoroughly by both external and internal forces.
