Trade Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. First Printing. 309 Pages.June 2002 Delta Edition. Tight square book with no marks or stamps. In her father's Peruvian family, the author was taught to be a proper lady, yet in her mother's American family she learned to shoot a gun, break a horse, and snap a chicken's neck for dinner. Arana shuttled easily between these deeply separate cultures for years. But only when she immigrated with her family to the United States did she come to understand that she was a hybrid American whose cultural identity was split in half. Coming to terms with this split is at the heart of this graceful, beautifully realized portrait of a child who was a north-south collision, a New World fusion. An American Chica. Here are two vastly different landscapes: Peru - earthquake-prone, charged with ghosts of history and mythology - and the sprawling prairie lands of Wyoming. In these rich terrains resides a colorful cast of family members who bring Arana's historia to life. Her proud grandfather who one day simply stopped coming down the stairs; her dazzling grandmother, clicking through the house as if she were making her way onstage. But most important are Arana's parents: he a brilliant engineer, she a gifted musician. For more than half a century these two passionate, strong-willed people struggled to overcome the bicultural tensions in their marriage and, finally, to prevail.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Lower corner tip of book, cover and pages, are wrinklrf, otherwise clean, unmarked, gently used book. Eight stories evocative of the forces that ruled Beryl Markham's heart--a moving depiction of a rogue horse--an advenurous flight over the African wilds in search of a lover whose plane had crashed- an exciting episode of a pony helping her survive the charge of a wild buffalo--and others. Born in England in 1902, Beryl Markham was taken by her father to East Africa in 1906--and there began her lifelong love of Africa. Trainer and breeder of race horses, mail and passenger carrier in her small plane to remote areas of the Sudan, Tanganyika, Kenya and Rhodesia, she led an adventurous life. In 1936 she became the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean from east to west, from England to Nova Scotia. Her life was molded by many things--the African jungle, feelings for dogs, for horses, for planes, for friendships with white men and black. 139 pages. 8" x 5.25". 1988, Laurel Trade Paperbacks/Dell Publishing, New York.

Olive Ann Burns (July 17, 1924 - July 4, 1990) was an American writer from Georgia best known for her single completed novel, Cold Sassy Tree, published in 1984. Burns worked for the Atlanta Journal and wrote under the pseudonym "Amy Larkin". She married Andy Sparks, a fellow journalist. In 1971 Burns began writing down family stories as dictated by her parents. In 1975 she was diagnosed with lymphoma and began to change the family stories into a novel that would later become Cold Sassy Tree. The novel was finally published eight years after it was begun, in 1984. Burns received so many letters pleading for a follow-up novel that she began writing Leaving Cold Sassy. Burns died of heart failure in 1990, at age 65, in a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, before finishing the manuscript, and the uncompleted novel was published in 1992 along with her notes. Cold Sassy Tree is a 1984 historical novel by Olive Ann Burns. Set in the U.S. state of Georgia in the fictional town of Cold Sassy (based on the real city of Harmony Grove, now Commerce) in 1906, it follows the life of a 14-year-old boy named Will Tweedy, and explores themes such as religion, death, and social taboos. On July 5, 1906, Enoch Rucker Blakeslee announces that he intends to marry Miss Love Simpson, a milliner at his store who is years younger than he. This news shocks his family, since his wife Mattie Lou died only three weeks earlier. Rucker's daughters, Mary Willis and Loma, worry about what the gossips of Cold Sassy will think of their father's impropriety. Will Tweedy, Rucker's 14-year-old grandson and the novel's narrator, supports his grandfather's marriage. He thinks Miss Love is nice and pretty, although she comes from Baltimore and therefore is practically a Yankee. On the afternoon of Rucker and Miss Love's elopement, Will sneaks off to go fishing in the country, despite the fact that he is supposed to be in mourning for his grandmother. He walks across a high, narrow train trestle and nearly dies when a train speeds toward him. He survives by lying flat between the tracks so the train passes just overhead without touching him. Will becomes a sensation after his near-death experience, and the whole town comes to his house to ask him about the incident. The people of Cold Sassy disapprove of Rucker's marriage, and rumors spread quickly in the small town, but Will spends much time at the Blakeslee home and becomes friends with Miss Love. He likes her candid opinions and open personality. He soon learns that it's a marriage of convenience and that Rucker and Miss Love sleep in separate rooms. Miss Love tells Will that she married Rucker only because he promised to deed her the house and furniture. And Rucker married Miss Love to save on the cost of a housekeeper. Eventually, Miss Love and Rucker fall deeply in love. A pair of thieves rob and beat Rucker.; he recovers from his injuries, but catches pneumonia. As he lies sick in bed, Will overhears him tell Miss Love that God provides strength and comfort to the faithful in times of trouble. Miss Love tells Will that she's pregnant, although Rucker doesn't know. Rucker dies, but his message of faith in God gives Will strength to cope. Though the town and Will's family don't accept Miss Love, she knows they'll accept her child, so she plans to stay in Cold Sassy. The novel was adapted into a TV movie in 1989, starring Richard Widmark, Faye Dunaway, and Neil Patrick Harris. In 2000, the American composer Carlisle Floyd wrote an opera based on the book.
