    av David Michael Dunaway

    In this historical novel, a skilled Charleston surgeon in the Army of Northern Virginia questions everything he knows as truth when faced with the horrors of the Civil War. The Civil War inevitably approaches. Two young Charlestonians, the Irish Catholic Mary Assumpta Bailey, and the English Protestant James Merriweather are soon to be intertwined through marriage, medicine, and their aversion to slavery. Mary Assumpta Bailey, her brother, Dr. John Bailey, and his medical apprentice, Dr. James Merriweather, openly serve anyone who walks through the doors of their Charleston medical practice - white, free blacks, seamen, or slaves. Equally, and despite its flaws, they also share an abiding love for the South. Dr. James Merriweather feels an enduring duty to the young men dying in battle and to his young family weathering the War on their small farm on Horlbeck Creek, South Carolina. Merriweather joins the War confident in the knowledge he can use his surgical skills to save the injured and send them back to their families. Rather quickly, Merriweather realizes how unprepared he is for the horrors of battle. Thus he begins a slow journey into his own war with darkness-his sanity precariously in the balance.

As in Siberia, raven soars on the wind between the great spirit/mystery and the physical world. Raven teaches respect for earth and the oneness of all that is.In RavenWind, author Hartzell Cobbs offers at look at the raven's role in world history and in Native American myths, legends, and folktales.

This, in turn, makes it more likely for victims to continue to suffer throughout their lives as they take on marital, social, and occupational roles.In Please Let It Be Enough, she shares how her family often moved around, how physical and psychological abuse turned into something worse after she hit puberty, and how her suffering went so unnoticed by so many for so long.The author encourages a strong religious foundation but also a psychological understanding of the damage done to self-esteem, in order to alter current behaviors. She also shares a message with fellow sufferers: You are not alone.People wonder why victims of assault, both physical and sexual, wait to report it, and the answer is they are ashamed, embarrassed, and afraid of how others will respond Maybe, just maybe, this account will encourage them to understand and help.
