The town of Berlin on Maryland''s Eastern Shore was founded on a 300acre tract of land called Burley, part of a land grant to Col. William Stevens that was surveyed in 1677. The town developed on the crossroads of the Sinepuxent Road, going east toward the Atlantic coast and the Philadelphia Post Road, and derived its name from the contraction of Burley Inn, a roadside inn at this popular crossroads. One of Berlin''s famous locals was United States naval hero Stephen Decatur, who was born on farm property within the surrounding area in 1779. Today Berlin''s Main Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the town has received national attention by having been featured in both Paramount Pictures'' Runaway Bride (1999) and Disney''s Tuck Everlasting (2002) films.

"In January of 1993, Susan received a seemingly innocuous phone call that was to change the direction of her life forever. A bit short of fifty years old, happily married, with three wonderful children in various stages of leaving the nest, she felt truly blessed. Though both committed and passionate educators, Susan and her husband, Richard, were really looking forward to the day when they could retire and reap the benefits of spending many long years in the workforce. But that was not to be! That pivotal phone call precipitated six years of strange and inexplicable happenings that led them to an unknown place, where they lived and worked for almost twenty years.This is a true story. Autobiographical in nature, it documents Susan''s life from the religious fervor of her childhood to the total upheaval of her life-long faith to a personal spiritual transformation, resulting from a raised consciousness that, to this day, remains a total enigma to her.The incidents were factual. The interpretation of these facts was personal. What transpired as a result of Susan being open to the Mystery as it unfolded was truly Beyond Belief!"--Back cover.

"The years from 1955 to 1965 are at the heart of the civil rights movement. Resistance was often met with violence against Black Americans fighting to end discrimination and segregation. Yet the courage of those yearning for equal opportunities under the law continued to persevere. The year 1957 was full of new beginnings and hope for a growing movement. In January, prominent civil rights leaders attended a historic meeting in Georgia with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the helm. In September, as protests were heating up around the nation, a group of Black students, known as the Little Rock Nine, integrated Central High School in Arkansas. At the same time, activists'' push for legislation resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Progress toward equality for Black Americans was slow, but people''s commitment to the movement continued to deepen during the year as the prospect of change seemed possible. This detailed account explains why 1957 was such a critical year in the civil rights movement"--

"It begins like a storm-with that pensive heavy stillness of dead air pressing in, with a soft rustle of the wind just barely stirring in the trees, a bruising over of the summer sky, a somber gray and yellow horizon glittery with lightning, bloated full of thunder, swept by sheets of rain-it begins when old man Krejci bumps his head. And then-like that same storm spent, blown past to leave the ground and the air around feeling new and fresh and washed crisp clean-the next morning when Meena peeks into her father''s sun-spilled bedroom to find that he has not moved, but is still lying on the bed with his head flat back on the pillow, in just exactly the same way she left him there eight hours before, everything will be changed..." It begins when Meena Krejci, not sure what to do and fearing she''ll be blamed for the injuries that have caused her father''s death, panics and takes flight, driving west across Nebraska and into Colorado, where she encounters an apocalypse-predicting madman, his captive sister-the troubled young woman in whose release Meena will create a violent version of rebirth for herself-and a bear. Told through alternating narratives-a portrayal of the last few days of Meena''s life and an account of the events in the past that have brought her to where she is now-this is the story of a woman running away from home for the first time and the strong, nearly universal desire to shed one''s identity to become somebody else.
