Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In his extravagantly intimateautobiographical novel, Lander Duncan reconstructs the heartshattering images and remembrances of the dark, violent, andincoherent first two decades of his life. PROMISES Seducedby CJ, a sleek-framed Tuskegee cadet, the mixed-racediabolically beautiful Abigail, who is the fifteen-year-olddaughter of the dean of faculty, sets this novel in motionwhen she becomes pregnant. With a reluctant agreement fromher father, Abigail marries CJ and defiantly departs for hisfamily farm in the Arkansas Delta. CJ reports for activeduty to a segregated Ft. Huachuca in Arizona. As a powerfulchronicle of a time, the novel's sobering historicalbackdrop is dramatically revealed through Abigail's culturecollisions and misadventures intersecting with the harshalienating, and unpredictable Delta life and the racialindignities and clashes that CJ confronts while commanding acombat anti-demolition company in Europe. SECRETS Afterreturning home a war hero, humiliation and bitterness eataway at CJ who must take a demeaning job as a railroad RedCap to support his family. CJ's offer of a steadying hand toa white woman who stumbles as she gets off a train turnsinto an incident that produces a night of horror. The livesand fate of the Duncan family are forever changed. Exiled toa small, racially divided Pennsylvania town, Abigailemotionally damaged by the ordeal, compels Lander and hisbrothers to promise never to reveal anything about theirfrightening past. Abigail's habit of hiding things-evenlosses, disappointments, humiliations, and racialidentity-becomes a great burden that keeps her sons' livesin upheaval. CONFESSIONS Abandoned by his mother andestranged for more than a decade from his family, Lander issummoned home for the last few days of Abigail's life. Pastinforms present, and present recasts past; the brothersexchange stories that trace the vast emotional terrain ofhavoc their mother so thoughtlessly wrecked, the sense ofconfusion that shifted beneath their feet, the doors ofself-perception that slammed in their face. They wantdesperately to love Abigail in all her flawed, outrageoushumanity and find an opportunity to forgive the felonies shecommitted against them. A memorable cast emerges in poignantand too few moments of triumph. Sifting through Abigail'spossessions, an undated letter is discovered that produces adamning and destructive secret.
