I still order your favorite coffee when my fingers are blue,And I still recommend your favorite movie to people who are lonely on a Friday night.But I don't dream about you anymore.My days are still sprinkled with tiny pieces of you and all the memories we won't make.But my nights are mine again.I think of you often, but I never see your face in my dreams, and that feels like healing.Navigating our way through relationships in all forms can be thrilling and gratifying or heartbreaking and challenging, and can prompt many emotions to rise to the surface.In a collection of poems divided into four sections, Nadia Vires lyrically tells a story of heartbreak, grief, love, and hope.

Reconstructed from actual letters and diaries, this is the story of four young people living in Philadelphia whose lives become intertwined when the American Civil War begins in 1861. Jan is a German immigrant who begins his studies at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Gettysburg. Emma is a Quaker who has learned survival skills growing up in a thick forest. Gabrielle, is a Southerner, was raised by her governess and wealthy Virginian father. Maura travels alone to America from Ireland to escape the potato famine and eventually enters the convent as a Sister of Mercy. Each girl grows up separated from her mother either through a natural or man-made disaster, and each is destined to choose nursing as a career. Many women served as trained nurses in both the Union and Confederate Armies caring for wounded soldiers without preference for which side they fought. It is a little known fact that many of the nurses working to save lives following the Battle of Gettysburg were Catholic nuns from the orders of Sisters of Mercy and Daughters of Charity. This is not a book about war: it is a story about love of God, love of family and friends, and love of country.

Erika Funke, WVIA Senior Producer/Program Host, recommends this book:"The word "panorama" was introduced in the 1780s by Irish Artist Robert Barker,derived from Greek roots suggesting "a complete view." Barker hoped the viewerwould "feel as if really on the spot."In titling his study 1938: American Historical Panorama, Dr. Spearsignals his aim in examining this pivotal year, giving us the "big picture"but also human stories that allow us to "feel as if really on the spot."And clarity is a hallmark of his writing. The complex, multilayeredSpanish Civil War is narrated with all its contradictions.The factions, alliances and consequences are explained withstraightforward comprehensibility, and we feel the suffering of the civilians.Dr. Spear gives us a strong grounding in a critical year while evoking echoes in our own times. He addresses matters of race, gender, justice and the mediain the big picture and through people's stories, so we feel the impact."Summary:Isolationism kept the U. S. out of war, but several thousand left-leaning Americans volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil. There was also the diversion of a radio "war" as actor-director Orson Welles orchestrated an on-air version of the H. G. Wells 1890s science fiction classic about a Martian invasion of Earth.Advances in aviation were indeed real, however. The most successful effort belonged to Howard Hughes. Nineteen thirty-eight also marked the advent of the first "superhero," Superman. But the Great Depression was still on-going.Yet misery in America was not universal. The advent of Swing, pioneered by bandleaders such as Benny Goodman, made the latter thirties a new Jazz Age. And baseball, seemed more exciting than ever. It included the efforts of Detroit's Hank Greenberg to break Babe Ruth's record of sixty homeruns set in 1927.
