What happens when our oldest stories fail us? When all the rules have changed? The classic myth of Persephone — reimagined for a modern-day reader. Persephone spends six months under the ground with her husband, king of the dead, and six months on earth with her mother, goddess of the harvest. It has been this way for nine thousand years. But when she emerges this spring, something is different. Rains lash the land, crops grow out of season or not at all, there are people trying to build a road through the woods, and her mother does not seem able to stop them. The natural world is changing rapidly and even the gods have lost control. While Demeter tries to regain her powers and fend off her daughter’s husband, who wants to drag his queen back underground for good, Persephone finally gets a taste of freedom. But what will this mean for her mother, her husband, and for the new shoots of life inside her?
Such Agreeable Savages: An Englishwoman's Excursions to the Gulf of Mexico & Republic of Texas, 1842-1846
In the winter of 1842, a strange ship appeared off Galveston and soon had Texan tongues wagging. That ship was the Dolphin, a British schooner-of-war, fitted out as an armed luxury yacht by Captain William Houstoun, a British cavalry officer.Captain Houstoun had come to hunt and fish. His wife, Matilda Charlotte Jesse Fraser Houstoun (1815-1892), had come to observe...and record what she saw and heard for the London News. It was her mission to inform the civilized British public about this distant, dangerous, murderous place called Texas and it's wild inhabitants.This book is the result of her observations and thoughts while voyaging the Gulf and visiting Texas."No one is stopped in this country by anything short of a Bowie knife or rifle-ball."Her tone is lighthearted, but proper, making it a bit like listening to Mary Poppins tell tales of Texas adventures and intrigue. She mixed with people of all types while in Texas, from store keepers, to high officials to slaves and free people of color. "The Texans are an impatient people; they drive to, and at their end, with greater velocity than any individuals I have ever seen or heard of. Nothing stops them in their go-ahead career."By the time they left, Mrs. Houstoun had grown to love Texas and Texans. She admired the free-spiritedness and good-heartedness of the people. She hoped that Texas would always remain an independent republic.And she wished the women of Texas would exercise their influence over the men to stop their constant chewing and spitting of tobacco.Why this Edition is Different... and ImportantMrs. Houstoun adhered to Victorian decorum in her writings and only the initials of her sources were included in the text, to avoid "name dropping." We have done the research, and now for the first time, the full names are included in the text.Corrects erroneous dates regarding the trip that appeared in the original and have been perpetuated in other books and journal articles since. (Even Streeter, the Texas State Library and the Library of Congress have it wrong.)Includes for the first time, her writings about their second Texas trip in 1846. They visited with several of the major players in the annexation drama, including President Anson Jones, and also stayed with Col. Morgan's family at Morgan's Point.Includes the first printed representation of the City of Houston which appeared in the London edition of 1844 (it was not included in the the American edition of 1845.) Known to scholars as 'The Alpine Houston' it was the only depiction of the city to be published during the Republic era. It shows Houston as a European-style hamlet at the base of a mountain. (It also shows a railroad bridge, though none would exist until 1861.)Includes a beautiful description of the yacht Dolphin that appeared in the Houston Telegraph and Texas Register.Is annotated to provide context for her observations within the bigger picture of Texas history.

Spring and summer are my mother's time, autumn and winter are my husband's. What is left for me? Persephone spends six months of the year under the ground with her husband, king of the dead, and six months on earth with her mother, goddess of the harvest. It has been this way for nine thousand years, since the deal was struck. But when she resurfaces this spring, something is different. Rains lash the land, crops grow out of season or not at all, there are people trying to build a road through the woods, and her mother does not seem able to stop them. The natural world is changing rapidly and even the gods have lost control. While Demeter tries to regain her powers and fend off her daughter's husband, who wants to drag his queen back underground for good, Persephone finally gets a taste of freedom, joining a group of protestors. Used to blinking up at the world from below, as she looks down on the earth for the very first time from the treetops with activist Snow, Persephone realizes that there are choices she can make for herself. But what will these choices mean for her mother, her husband, and for the new shoots of life inside her? No Season but the Summer takes a classic myth and turns it on its head, asking what will happen when our oldest stories fail us, when all the rules have changed. It is, above all, a book about choice.
