"It's been five years since the Mason family vacationed at the
lakeside cottage in northeastern Vermont, close to where prize-winning
novelist Samuel Mason grew up. The summers that Sam, his wife, Mena, and
their twins Franny and Finn spent at Lake Gormlaith were noisy, chaotic,
and nearly perfect. But since Franny's death, the Masons have been
flailing, one step away from falling apart. Lake Gormlaith is Sam's last,
best hope of rescuing his son from a destructive path and salvaging what's
left of his family. As Sam struggles with grief, writer's block, and a
looming deadline, Mena tries to repair the marital bond she once thought
was unbreakable. But even in this secluded place, the unexpected--in the
form of an over-zealous fan, a surprising friendship, and a second

Axelrod, Alan, 1952-

History celebrates George Washington as the leader of the American
Revolution and the father of his country. But what has gone previously
unexamined is Washington's life as a twenty-two-year-old lieutenant
colonel who led four hundred American militiamen against a bigger, more
experienced French army and paid a high price. Not only did Washington
lose over a third of his men but the Battle of Great Meadows was also the
spark that ignited the French and Indian War. Yet in the midst of this
bitter battle, Washington forged the intellectual, visceral, and spiritual
aspects that enabled him to achieve all that he did in the years that
followed. In this never-before-told account, historian Alan Axelrod
examines the geopolitical, financial, and intensely personal issues that
shaped the leader he would become.

Our
times the age of Elizabeth II
Wilson, A. N., 1950-
[Ashland, Ore.] : Blackstone Audio, p2010.
When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, few could have any inkling of
the stupendous changes that were going to take place in Britain and around
the world. In this third book of his acclaimed histories, A.N. Wilson
paints a panoramic portrait of the development of modern Britain. He
begins in the 1950s with the Suez crisis, immigration, the Angry Young Men
and Harold Macmillan, and takes us through the vast cultural changes and
pop fashions of the '60s. He continues through the '70s, with Vietnam and
the Cold War looming large, and the Labour government that ushered in the
Winter of Discontent. The collapse of the Soviet Union in the '80s
signaled the end of a political era in Britain, leading up to the current
period of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

A
rainbow in the night [the tumultuous birth of South Africa]
Lapierre, Dominique.
[Ashland, Or.?] : Blackstone Audio, p2009.
When a boatload of Dutch Calvinists settled the southernmost tip of
Africa, they were convinced by their strict faith that they were among the
"elect," chosen by God to rule over the world. These first
colonists would, over time, take on the black tribes, fortune hunters in
search of diamonds and gold, and the scarlet-clad regiments of Queen
Victoria. Their bloody, ferocious, and fervent saga would culminate three
centuries later in one of human history's most notorious political
regimes, the establishment of apartheid, and a nation built solely on a
system of racism--Publisher's description.

Stones
into schools [promoting peace with books, not bombs, in Afghanistan and
Pakistan]
Mortenson, Greg.
[Ashland, Or.] : Blackstone Audio, p2009.
In this dramatic first-person narrative, Greg Mortenson picks up where
"Three Cups of Tea" left off in 2003, recounting his relentless,
ongoing efforts to establish schools for girls in Afghanistan; his
extensive work in Azad Kashmir and Pakistan after a massive earthquake hit
the region in 2005; and the unique ways he has built relationships with
Islamic clerics, militia commanders, and tribal leaders even as he was
dodging shootouts with feuding Afghan warlords and surviving an eight-day
armed abduction by the Taliban.
