Dorie McCullough Lawson Books Overview

Along Comes a Stranger

The summer of 1995 marks Kate Colter’s fifteenth year in the small town of Hayden, Wyoming. A New Englander at heart, Kate loves her husband and daughter and is fond of her neighbors. Yet, privately, she feels disconnected from the people around her. Then along comes Tom Baxter. Her mother in law’s new suitor from ‘back East,’ Tom immediately draws Kate in with his gentle charm and engaging conversation, like a little piece of the home she so misses. But inconsistencies in his stories are piquing Kate’s curiosity and a series of peculiar and suspicious events is leading her to a terrifying conclusion that could forever shatter her life and the lives of those she loves.

Posterity

An elegantly designed, beautifully composed volume of personal letters from famous American men and women that celebrates the American Experience and illuminates the rich history of some of America’s most storied families. Posterity is at once an epistolary chronicle of America and a fascinating glimpse into the hearts and minds of some of history s most admired figures. Spanning more than three centuries, these letters contain enduring lessons in life and love, character and compassion that will surprise and enlighten. Included here are letters from Thomas Jefferson to his daughter, warning her of the evils of debt; General Patton on D Day to his son, a cadet at West Point, about what it means to be a good soldier; W.E.B. DuBois to his daughter about character beneath the color of skin; Oscar Hammerstein about why, after all his success, he doesn t stop working; Woody Guthrie from a New Jersey asylum to nine year old Arlo about universal human frailty; sixty five year old Laura Ingalls Wilder s train of thought about her pioneer childhood; Eleanor Roosevelt chastising her grown son for his Christmas plans; and Groucho Marx as a dog to his twenty five year old son. With letters that span more than three centuries of American history, Posterity is a fascinating glimpse into the thoughts, wisdom, and family lives of those whose public accomplishments have touched us all. Here are renowned Americans in their own words and in their own times, seen as they were seen by their children. Here are our great Americans as mothers and fathers.
