Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Painted Trillium is an absorbing story of relationships, survival, and rebirth in the Civil War, told through the lives of a twenty-one-year old Tennessee woman and a young Union officer with a fianc e back in Ohio. The war snuffs out life as Carrie Blaylock knows it, taking her father, her brother, and the man she planned to marry. The war does something else. It pulls back the curtain of convention and lays bare Carrie's deepest desire: a life beyond the confines of domesticity. She vows to make her own way and never be dependent on any man. To Captain John Lockridge, the war is more of an interruption. He'll return to Columbus, marry his fianc e, and resume his nascent law practice. But first, he'll have to make it home alive. Through a chance encounter in early 1863 while the Union army is based at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Carrie and John become friends. Their acquaintance promises to be brief. President Lincoln expects the Army of the Cumberland to launch its next push south with the advent of spring. The dutiful and studious Carrie takes a step toward independence by signing on to teach at a school that will open after the Union army marches away. She begins meeting regularly with the headmaster, Morton Walling, a widower with a young daughter. When Morton's interest in Carrie broadens beyond teaching, Carrie is flattered. She starts to rethink her vow to live independently. Much to President Lincoln's frustration, the army stays put as the bright hues of Middle Tennessee's spring turn into the deep greens of summer. Fueled by their mutual love of literature and nature, the friendship between Carrie Blaylock and Captain John Lockridge deepens, and ultimately takes Carrie in a direction she neither intended nor could have imagined. Travel and outdoor writer Robert Brandt has drawn on his storehouse of knowledge about his native state, as well as dozens of diaries, letters, and reminiscences, to produce a compelling story of the equivocal and complicated relationships that evolved between citizens of this deeply divided state and Union soldiers. The story explores war's impact on women in particular and the ways it altered their lives forever.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. If you find yourself lost and alone in the skin-care aisle; if you're thinking of going under the knife, but hoping you won't have to; if you need specific, detailed information about how to get rid of the bags under your eyes or those ever-deepening furrows in your brow; if you've gone to your girlfriends, women's magazines, cosmetics counters, facialists, and plastic surgeons and gotten lots of conflicting answers; then Dr. Fredric Brandt's simple, streamlined system is for you. With 10 Minutes/10 Years, one of the world's most famous cosmetic dermatologists offers a breakthrough skin-care program that will take you only ten minutes a day -- and will reverse your skin's aging process by ten years. There is a skin-care revolution taking place; the days of washing your face with soap and water and slapping on some cream are long gone. But this means that skin care isn't simple anymore. As new products appear, seemingly overnight, it becomes harder to know what's right for your skin. With warmth and humor, Dr. Brandt cuts through the information overload to provide concrete information and advice for women of all ages and of every skin type. He helps you determine who to go to and who not to go to as well as what to ask. 10 Minutes/10 Years is a uniquely formatted, problem/solution-driven guidebook that reveals many unknown threats to the skin which age it before its time, such as sugar and diet (Chapter 3). Need to know about the brown spots on your cheeks? Turn to Chapter 6. Sick of your drooping chin? Read Chapter 14. Driven to despair by your thinning hair? Look at Chapter 19. But before you decide what system you need, consult Chapter 4 for a comprehensive list of the best products, treatments, and procedures available.
