"A poignant family saga that portrays the social, political, and economic struggles of its time...An engaging coming-of-age story set in an eventful era." -- Kirkus Reviews
In the world of 1906, Ybor City, Florida, there is an illusion about life and how it works, and then there’s the truth and fifteen-year-old Angelina Pirrello begins a treacherous course to learn the difference
Bright, ambitious, and determined to carve out her own destiny, Angelina discovers that women have no right to vote, the Mafia has her Italian community in a stranglehold of fear, and when she finds love, her strict, Sicilian father arranges her marriage to a man she dislikes. .
As life continues to unravel, Angelina makes a daring move to take destiny into her own hands, but it comes with devastating consequences and far more shattering than she realizes.
"A story that is compelling, complex, and especially satisfying. It's highly recommended reading for historical romance readers who look for an emphasis on the sociology and history of the times as well as evolving romance." -- D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
"Sandra has outdone herself with The Weight of Salt. I can hardly believe this is her first novel. She has a gift for writing. The story, characters, and beautiful style in which everything is presented makes for an engaging read. It is well-paced, memorable, heartwarming, and compelling. This book is so enjoyable and rewarding I cannot wait to read the entire series of books." -- Michelle Preisendorf
"The author has done a remarkable job, offering the
reader an interesting and wonderfully described historical setting, a host of complex, often charismatic characters, and even a little romance...anybody who enjoys family sagas, historical novels and/or romance will find this book gripping." -- The Wishing Shelf
"The book perfectly captures its contradictions: it can embrace you with warmth and suffocate you with control, reward you with comfort and frustrate you with impossible expectations." -- Maria Esposito, The Online Book Club

The Children of Pride: A True Story of Georgia and the Civil WarThis intimate record of a Georgia plantation family brings to life a proud but flawed society from its halcyon antebellum days through the shattering climaxes of defeat and occupation. Nowhere has the impact of the Civil War upon the South been portrayed with more immediacy than in these 1200 letters by the family and friends of the Reverend Dr. Charles Colcock Jones of Liberty County, Georgia. Arranged by Robert Manson Myers into a chronological narrative of the crucial years between 1854 and 1868, they read like an epistolary novel.
The routines of plantation life, as affectionately described in the letters, are punctuated by episodes of drama: triumphs—surviving a yellow fever epidemic and selling an old slave for more than he is worth; vexations—a cousin’s degrading marriage and a Negro mother’s murder of her newborn child; and genuine tragedies—an appalling train wreck and the infamy of Andersonville.
These letters underscore a fascinating and troubling paradox in American history: they reveal men and women who were intelligent, warmhearted, perceptive, and God-fearing, yet dedicated to the principle of slavery. The writers were proud of the national Union, but when its interests conflicted with their cherished mode of existence, they unhesitatingly chose the latter and defended it bravely.
Confronted with the anguish and nostalgia of the postwar letters, few readerss will be immune to the poignancy of their defeat.
The collapse of a civilization is a momentous thing. In The Children of Pride it pursues its inexorable course day by day, with the actors in the drama unaware of their destiny. Only the reader perceives the tragic ironies.
Теория «жизненного пространства»После Второй мировой войны труды известного немецкого геополитика Карла Хаусхофера запрещались, а сам он, доведенный до отчаяния, покончил жизнь самоубийством. Все это было связано с тем, что его теорию «жизненного пространства» («Lebensraum») использовал Адольф Гитлер для обоснования своей агрессивной политики в Европе и мире � в результате, Хаусхофер стал считаться чуть ли не одним из главных идеологов немецкого фашизма.
Между тем, Хаусхофер никогда не призывал к войне, � напротив, его теория как раз была призвана установить прочный мир в Европе. Концепция К. Хаусхофера была направлена на создание единого континентального блока против Великобритании, в которой он видел основной источник смут и раздоров. В то же время Россия рассматривалась Хаусхофером как основной союзник Германии: вместе они должны были создать мощное евразийское объединение, целью которого было бы освоение всего континента с помощью российских транснациональных коммуникаций.
Свои работы Карл Хаусхофер вначале писал под влиянием другого немецкого геополитика � Фридриха Ратцеля, но затем разошелся с ним во взглядах, в частности, отвергая выведенную Ратцелем модель «семи законов неизбежной экспансии». Основные положения теории Фридриха Ратцеля также представлены в данной книге.
Beastly BlakeBlake’s ‘Human Form Divine� has long commanded the spotlight. Beastly Blake shifts focus to the non-human creatures who populate Blake’s poetry and designs. The author of ‘The Tyger� and ‘The Lamb� was equally struck by the ‘beastliness� and the beauty of the animal kingdom, the utter otherness of animal subjectivity and the meaningful relationships between humans and other creatures. ‘Conversing with the Animal forms of wisdom night & day�, Blake fathomed how much they have to teach us about creation and eternity. This collection ranges from real animals in Blake’s surroundings, to symbolic creatures in his mythology, to animal presences in his illustrations of Virgil, Dante, Hayley, and Stedman. It makes a third to follow Queer Blake and Sexy Blake in irreverently illuminating blind spots in Blake criticism. Beastly Blake will reward lovers of Blake’s writing and visual art, as well as those interested in Romanticism and animal studies.

Our Time Is Now: Notes from the High School UndergroundA collection of political and counter-culture pieces from alternative high school newspapers (oh, for the days when a high school might have an official newspaper and an alternative publication. Today, very few *cities* even have two newspapers). Vonnegut's introduction places the work in context—the writers were coming of age in during war time, just like he did.

Help! I inadvertently combined all of my 7 books into 1 edition! I was trying to combine the paperback and ebook editions for each book. How do I get my 1 edition separated back into 7 distinct books?
Darryl wrote: "Help! I inadvertently combined all of my 7 books into 1 edition! I was trying to combine the paperback and ebook editions for each book.

Unfortunately, combining all your titles does some interesting things to your awards and series.
Your Jack and Molly series is broken - I could not save a correction to it at all, so I tried to delete it, and the page gave an error. I have reported this to support to remove it, and created a new series.
I am also requesting that a librarian move conversant with awards than I take a look at your titles with awards.
For reference:
all awards have ended up on this title: /book/show/3...
the list of books with awards is on the author's bio on Amazon:
if this helps.
Librarians who work with awards often are better equipped to do this properly.
My name is associated with one book on ŷ, as editor:/book/show/4...
I would like my name unlinked from this project.

Exodus A.D. : A Warning to CiviliansA famous modern artist and a famous modern novelist have here combined in the writing of one of the most sensational novel of our time.
In Exodus A.D. is depicted the collapse of civilization and the terrifying, insane panic which follows the destruction of London from air attack. In the event of such a catastrophe will man so quickly revert to the state of wild beast? It is a question for argument and the dramatic story unfolded here will provoke wide discussion and comment.
Princess Paul Troubezkoy will be familiar to readers as the young authoress of two striking novels Storm Tarn and Gallows Seed and Mr. Nevinson is, of course, the well-known artist and premier English "Modern" painter. His extraordinary picture, Homo Sapiens, reproduced on the wrapper of this book, in part inspired the story of this novel.

H.R. GIGER and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth CenturyA unique interpretation of Giger's work � essential reading for psychology buffs, visionary art lovers, and admirers of the classic film Alien.
This hardcover collector’s edition is a stunning compilation of paintings from the late surrealist artist H R Giger, brought together for the first time alongside a revealing essay by transpersonal psychologist and pioneer in consciousness research, Dr. Stanislav Grof. Never before has such a comprehensive display of Giger’s work been made available with the psychoanalytic toolkit for interpreting the often claustrophobic and nightmarish images and grasping their profound social and psychological relevance.
“I had always admired H R Giger deeply, not only as an artistic genius, but also as a visionary with an uncanny ability to depict the deep, dark recesses of the human psyche revealed by modern consciousness research.� Stanislav Grof
H R Giger’s lifelong struggle with haunting biomechanoid visions takes on new meaning once seen through the lens of Dr. Grof’s revolutionary theory of ‘Basic Perinatal Matricies.� By understanding the essential characteristics of the four stages of imprinting from birth trauma and their effects on the human psyche as mapped out by Grof, the reader discovers a remarkable synergy bridging the innermost traces of our being with outward social relevance.
With a foreword by art historian Claudia Müller-Ebeling, H R Giger and the Zeitgeist of the Twentieth Century contains rare images of Giger’s early work, reflecting his personal journey through art.
