Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lebanon by Caroline Miller Just One More Page. We're first introduced to Lebanon as a young bayou woman living with her father, Crease and brother Joel. Her mother died while Lebanon was very small so her upbringing was left to the menfolk. So it's not too surprising that Lebanon is just as comfortable hunting alligators as she is in keeping house. While she never learned to read and write, (not for lack of desire) she is well seasoned in survival skills. I loved the bayou part of the book, I always find that setting fascinating and her first love with Sebastian Ratcliff was soul satisfyingly sweet. They really seemed like soulmates. Unfortunately, Sebastian is betrothed to another and stands by his word. Lebanon, alone with her misery, can no longer bear her memories in the bayou so she impetuously proposes to a family friend in order to head West. We're not actually told where they end up settling and if you're looking for much in the way of wagon trails, river crossings and Indian attacks you'll be disappointed (I was not) as the story doesn't dwell on the journey, but rather the destination. Lebanon is made for homesteading while her husband is not. Partly for this reason and partly because they're very different from eachother there are some serious ups and downs in their married life. I wont go further because I will spoil things but there is a twist toward the end which is quite surprising. And while some might say it has a possible HEA, the story did not end as I wanted it to and I frowned as I closed the book, which took it down a star for me. Overall, a good read. SEX: None VIOLENCE : Mild PROFANITY: Very mild, B. * NOTE* There's a paragraph in this book where Lebanon talks of a home remedy for preventing poison ivy blisters: chewing the leaves. I looked it up to see if that really works. It is NOT recommended and serious reactions may occur. Apparently, the thought was to chew very small amounts, (much the way homeopathy works), gradually increasing the dose. But there's no proof that this helps and could be dangerous so is best avoided. Sorry to disappoint. I'm sure you were eager to try this :) LEBANON. Pulitzer Prize winner of some years back writes another story of the Deep South. Lebanon was the motherless daughter of a Georgia swamp lumberman; nature and hard work had been her schoolteachers -- and it was only whom she met Sabastain and love him that she felt the lack of school learning. But Sebastian was pledged to a Baltimore Belle and saw no way out of it the he too loved Lebanon on sight. Ill-luck followed her; Sebastian's hand was shot off; Lebanon offered herself in marriage to the French barkeeper who took her West, almost to the great river -- and there she nearly lost him to his love of town ways -- but death claimed him and their baby. Then a knife she held accidentally killed a neighbor -- and the townsfolk let their spite and gossip destroy her good name -- and only when the preacher same home, bringing with him one to vouch for her, was she free to start life now with him. A story with emotional values thinly spread -- but a geumitive beauty and rhythm is the telling. Lebanon. We have 10 copies available starting at $6.35. Lebanon. miller, caroline.

With a native's love for the characters she created, Waycross-born writer Caroline Miller captured the imagination of readers at home and abroad when she recreated with striking lyricism an historical south Georgia and its peoples. With affectionate and painstaking detail, Miller's novel 1933 Lamb in His Bosom captured the hard yet spiritually full lives of a yeoman class of pioneer farmers. Lamb in His Bosom tells the story of a class of Southerner often bypassed by many novels that indulge a popular fascination with melodramatic, if atypical, extremes, like violent destitution or plantation mythology. With the surprising commercial success of Lamb in His Bosom , Caroline "Carrie" Miller became the first Georgian to win a prestigious Pulitzer Prize for a novel, and she was honored as well with the prestigious French Prix Femina. Born Caroline Pafford in Waycross, Georgia in 1903, she was the youngest of seven children of schoolteacher Elias Pafford and his wife Levy Zan Hall Pafford. Soon after graduating Waycross High School, she married William D. Miller, her former high school English teacher, and they moved to Baxley. As a young housewife and while rearing three young boys, Miller had published a short story and shared local honors for a prizewinning play. Later Miller recalled that, though she felt nearly overwhelmed by the pressures of motherhood, she clung to inspiration she got from the examples of the pioneer women in her own family history, and she determined to write an historical novel based on their experience. She found herself driving countless miles on the pine barrens' back roads between Baxley and Darien with her three young sons in tow, and along the way Miller sought out older residents, whom she discovered to be living treasuries of the south Georgia "piney woods." Making notes of their diction and manners, Miller invested the world of her book's heroine, Cean Carver, and her family with a stunning historical realism. According to the Dictionary of Literary Biography , Miller was able to "recapture the often monotonous rhythms of household activities; the stoic almost fatalistic endurance of her pioneer ancestors; and the poetic beauty of backcountry Georgia." The New York Times ' critic Louis Kroenenberger said Lamb. has a wonderful freshness about it; not simply the freshness of a new writer, but the freshness of a new world. It all seems to have happened far away and long ago, yet Mrs. Miller has caught it roundly here and made it in its small way imperishable. Lamb would go through more than thirty printings in its first edition, and there would be translations into several languages. Ironically, the eclipse of Miller's celebrity was hastened by Lamb in his Bosom's commercial success, which prompted a Macmillan editor to go talent scouting for novelists in Georgia, where he would meet young woman named Margaret Mitchell, who had a manuscript of her own. The pressure of the instant fame that attended the Pulitzer Prize drove a wedge into Miller's marriage. Divorced in 1937 from William Miller, she would marry Clyde Ray Jr., with whom she had a son and a daughter, and settled in Waynesville, North Carolina. Following her success, Miller continued to write but published only a handful of stories and one more book. Lebanon (1944) was another novel about a young woman again set in the antebellum south Georgia lowlands, but it was edited beyond her liking and critics compared it unfavorably with her first novel. Lamb in His Bosom 's popularity eventually receded as the national critics flocked to another Georgia woman's spectacularly romantic novel -- Gone With the Wind -- became a Hollywood phenomenon. However, a new generation of readers ultimately rediscovered the quiet brilliance of Lamb in His Bosom, as Miller's novel was republished in "Southern classic" editions in the 1990s and early 21st century. The town of Baxley, too, honored the author anew with a "Caroline Miller Day" in 1991, and she was one of nine Georgia authors in an Atlanta literary cultural exhibit for the 1996 Olympic Games. Miller died on July 12, 1992, in Waynesville, North Carolina, at the age of 88. Bibliography.
