This book makes my heart bloom.By JHQFamous author and notorious recluse Harriet Wolf is rumored to have a long-lost manuscript, the seventh and final book in her famed series mdash; and if it exists, it just may hold the key to her ultimate confession posthumously.When you find a book you can't put down yet want to ration so it doesn't end, you know you've found something special. This book is incredible.Told from the perspectives of each of the four Wolf women (Harriet, the matriarch of the family, her daughter Eleanor, and her granddaughters Tilton and Ruth) and spanning three generations in narration, this book is astounding -- a heartrending story of love, loss, and redemption and explores the complicated yet sacred nature of mother-daughter relationships.I don't want to give anything away but I savored every page of this book and cried as I read the last four chapters. Itrsquo;s a beautifully written story with complicated characters and vivid, lush prose.

Georgia Southern offers archaeological field school at Confederate POW camp FEBRUARY 8, 2019 Save Ryan McNutt, Ph.D., and some students work with a metal detector at Camp Lawton. Georgia Southern University’s Department of Sociology and Anthropology will continue its spring and summer archaeological field schools held at Camp Lawton, a former Confederate prisoner of war (POW) camp, located in Magnolia Springs State Park in Jenkins County, Georgia. The spring session of the field school will meet every Friday until May 3, and the summer session will meet Monday through Friday from May 20 through June 20. “Camp Lawton has become a time capsule, locking into the soil the stories and experiences of those who were guarded, and those who guarded them, in the lonely Georgia pines as war raged ever closer,” said Ryan McNutt, Ph.D., assistant professor of anthropology at Georgia Southern and director of the Camp Lawton archaeological project. The department was invited to investigate the archaeology of Camp Lawton in 2009 and has since made several discoveries including remnants of four stockade walls, a potential Confederate camp site and several POW shelters.

  • Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders Harriet Wolf's Sev Enth Bo
    Harriet Wolf’s Seventh Book of Wonders READ BY JODI CARLISLE, CHRISTINE LAKIN, KATIE KOSTER AND SUSAN SILO The reclusive Harriet Wolf, revered author and family matriarch, has a posthumous con fession—a love story. Years after her death, as her family comes together one last time, the mystery of Harriet’s life hangs in the balance. Does the truth lie in the rumored final book of the series that made Harriet a world-famous writer, or will her final confession be lost forever? Harriet Wolf’s Seventh Book of Wonders tells the moving story of the unforgettable Harriet Wolf’s Seventh of Wonders Book Wolf women in four distinct voices: the mysterious Harriet, who, until now, has never revealed the secrets of her past; her fiery, overprotective daughter, Eleanor; and her two grown granddaughters —Tilton, the fragile yet exuberant younger sister, who’s become a housebound hermit, and Ruth, the older sister, who ran away at sixteen and never looked back. When Eleanor is hospitalized, Ruth decides it’s time to do right by a pact she made with Tilton long ago: to return home and save her sister. Meanwhile, Harriet whispers her true life story to the reader. It’s a story that spans the entire twentieth century and is filled with mobsters, outcasts, a lonesome lion, and a home for wayward women. It’s also a tribute to her lifelong love of the boy she met at the Maryland School for Feeble Minded Children. Harriet Wolf’s Seventh Book of Wonders, Julianna Baggott’s most sweeping and enchanting novel yet, offers a profound medita tion on motherhood and sisterhood as well as on the central importance of stories.
