You know how everyone says when one door closes another one opens? At the time, you find this statement obnoxious as all get out because a) you don't really know what the future holds, it certainly hasn't been a cakewalk so far, and b) the thought of change is unbearable. You feel like your life is falling apart and everyone around is feeding you clich s like they're made out of kale or quinoa or whatever the trend health food is right now. You don't want kale clich s, you want double-chocolate fudge realisms, and you want them now. You just want things the way they were, but then something happens, a moment, an instant that sets you out on a path toward happiness you never knew could exist, and suddenly you think, huh, I don't think I want double-chocolate fudge anymore. I think I'm in the mood for this heaping serving of strawberry cheesecake sitting in front of me...with a side of kale. And a pair of split pants, but we won't get into that right now. Graham Glenn may have tossed her in, but Oliver Finn made her feel again.

The War Between the States changed everything for Southerners-mostly for the worse. James McBain of Savannah, owner of the prosperous Heritage plantation that made Savannah Grey bricks, was already despondent by the time his son Joseph departed for the battlefields of Virginia in May 1861. His daughter Amy had recently moved to New York with her husband, as had Joseph's wife with the couple's baby girl, leaving James and his wife Sarah to care for Danny, Joseph's six-year-old son. And the entire family still grieved over the murder of Joseph's life-long companion and free man of color, Andrew.While the Confederates scored several major victories in the early stages of the conflict, lifting rebel spirits, Savannah fared poorly. In early November 1861 the Union navy captured nearby Hilton Head Island. This gave the Yankees control of the South Atlantic, sealed off Savannah from the European markets so desirous of the South's cotton, and caused many Georgians along the coast to flee inland.Matters also worsened for the McBains. Joseph became a prisoner of war. James's most loyal slaves tried to escape to the U.S. Navy. Andrew's killers returned to Savannah and tormented the family. When it appeared that the McBains might be ruined, they were saved by their own enslaved workers and a mysterious female stranger. Unwittingly, the girl held the McBains together as the South's fortunes plummeted. She accompanied Sarah McBain to northern Georgia to care for the sick and wounded soldiers. And she found herself in the path of General Sherman's army as it marched through Georgia, devastating almost everything in its path. Could she and the McBains survive the Yankees and the outlaws determined to destroy them?Penny Savannah brings together the drama and tragedy of the war-torn South, as the McBains, freed slaves, and the girl cling to the hope that better days lie ahead.

I began my poetic journey at the tender age of eight. Initially, when I shared my poems with my father, he was sceptical, suspecting plagiarism. However, once he believed in my talent, he became a source of encouragement for me to continue writing. My inspiration often springs from moments that deeply move me or bring laughter; I find myself instinctively crafting poems about these experiences. Poetry has become a therapeutic medium for me, allowing me to articulate my feelings and perceptions. In this collection, I aim to capture and share the beauty of the world, whether it reflects joy or sorrow. These poems are my way of conveying my perspective on the world's wonders, and as I navigate my twilight years, this sharing feels increasingly vital. It is my sincere hope that these poems will spark excitement in you, the reader, compelling you to eagerly turn each page and immerse yourself in the world of my poetry.
