"The Way It Was 1976" by Suzanne Hilton What was it like to live in the United States when it was just one hundred years old, and when the industrial revolution had just begun to change people's lives? Suzanne Hilton has dug into old records, letters, newspapers and magazine accounts, ads. and children's diaries to discover the details about everyday living -? in the country and in the city, at school and at home, on a vacation and at work. She takes the reader on a magic carpet of facts into the year 1876, "The Summer Of The Great-Grandmother" by Madeleine L'Engle When the summer begins, there are four generations gathered together, and the great - grandmother of the title - witty, imperious, beautiful, self-assured - is now a ruin of her former self. She is no longer the mother Madeleine L'engle once knew. A "bouquet of young girls" has been assembled to take turns tending the old lady, but if she is not able to return home in September when the girls go back to school and the family returns to New York, what are the alternatives to a nursing home'' What of die promise given? How is the pain of watching the ravages of senility to be endured? "Speak To The Earth" by Rachel Peden. A book of rural virtues and a naturalist's philosophy. Pages from a farmwife's journal: Mrs. Peden, who has been a farmwife for forty ? five years and an Indiana columnist of the rural virtues for almost thirty of them, believes that the family farm's "best crop" is a "harvest of the spirit" and she demonstrates this belief lovingly and evocatively in these pages. "Save Weeping For The Night" by Loula Grace Erdman Much has been written about General Jo Sjelby, Confederate hero from Missouri who led the famed Lafayette County Cavalry. But little note has been taken of his courageous wife. Bettie - a remarkable woman who dared to follow him into battle, who defied bushwhackers and looters as violence in Kansas over the question of slave or free state spilled over into Missouri. Loula Grace Erdman grew up in Lafayette County, Missouri, where die Shelby name is so familiar. Her solid research included interviews with descendents of characters in this dramatic story of Bettie Shelby's amazing adventures. "Voices In An Empty House" by Joan Aiken. Voices In an Empty House revolves around the search for sixteen ? year ? old Gabriel Baird, who has spent the summer of 1974 in the United States and vanished just when he is due for desperately needed heart surgery. Most of the action takes place in New York -? the city, in fact, becomes almost a character in the book -- with flashbacks to England filling in the past relationships among the four main characters.
