Описание:
When Lil' Jim moved back to Memphis, the children stopped coming by to play. While he blamed his isolation on religion, everyone else knew it had everything to do with money, politics, and race.
This third book in the ten-part Your Winding Daybreak Ways series begins where author Gary Bargatze's second novel, Happy Hollow, leaves off. Lil' Jim is living with his Uncle Aaron and attending a segregated grammar school. The principal is a true visionary, instilling "life skills" in his African-American students--teaching them to envision a brighter future.
Hurricane Creek depicts the rise of a biracial orphan from the Memphis rail yards to the doorstep of the governor's mansion in Nashville. The novel follows the young boy's transformation from "Lil' Jim" to "Hurricane Jim"--from hobo to West Point cadet; from military officer to entrepreneur; and from wealthy businessman to skilled politician.

Описание:
"We pierced the thick, black veil of the fever fires and entered hell."
As the guns fell silent at Appomattox the gods were already shaping the next battlefield. No one living in Memphis realized the target would be narrowed this time to just eight square miles overlooking the Mississippi River.
This second book in the ten-part Your Winding Daybreak Ways series begins where author Gary Bargatze's debut novel, Warfield, leaves off. Thomas has survived the Civil War and the gods' war on his family; he has been graduated from the university; and he is now happily on his way to Memphis to teach English at the prestigious Westminster Academy. But unbeknownst to Thomas he is about to enter an even more punishing circle of hell.
This historically accurate, underreported telling of the horrific yellow fever epidemics of the 1870s explores race, unspeakable loss and the courage of African-Americans who sped toward death to serve as nurses, undertakers and police as the masses fled Memphis in panic.

Описание:
Todd steams into Memphis just as the blues begin oozing up out of the juke joints into the white establishments lining Beale Street. During the next week he seeks out the latest sounds in the honky-tonks and gentlemen's clubs. But after hearing the ragged, personal lyrics of a lone guitarist sitting in a dimly lit corner of a squalid speakeasy, Todd knows now how he wants to spend the rest of his life--writing songs, riding the circuit, and playing the blues.
Sad to say, Todd soon learns "life has a way of tearing up track and bending the rails."

But within months of arriving on campus, Andrew's association with Bianca threatens to destroy his promising academic career and his relationship with his first love, Catherine.
