Description

Patti Meredith | South of Heaven Set in Carthage, North Carolina, in 1998, this is the story of two estranged sisters forced back under the same roof. Miscommunications and slights, real and imagined, threaten to keep the sisters divided but the inexplicable bond of family, a widowed preacher in search of his own lost faith, and an unlikely business venture deliver rescue. SOUTH OF HEAVEN is a testament to second chances and unexpected consequences. Georgann Eubanks | Saving the Wild South: The Fight for Native Plants on the Brink of Extinction The American South is famous for its astonishingly rich biodiversity. In this book, Georgann Eubanks takes a wondrous trek from Alabama to North Carolina to search out native plants that are endangered and wavering on the edge of erasure. These plants, she argues, are important not only to the natural environment but also to southern identity, and she finds her inspiration in talking with the heroes the botanists, advocates, and conservationists young and old on a quest to save these green gifts of the South for future generations. These passionate plant lovers caution all of us not to take for granted the sensitive ecosystems that contribute to the region's long-standing appeal, beauty, and character.
