In the early 1900's, the Wilson family, lived at a time of country unrest and poverty. Love and the help of neighbors and friends were their gifts. Michael and Rita were the Wilson's two children who adored their parents and wanted nothing more than a happy life together. Unfortunately, not everything happens as we wish it. Death, War, misunderstandings, ego and money change lives and people. Mr. Wilson becomes an Insurance Salesman for a few years and the couple live in peace. But peace does not last, and the change is what this story is all about. It spans four generations with all the twists and turns of environment, history, ill happenings, effects of both war and poor communication along with pettiness and misunderstandings. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy. S. Marshall Kent retired, having spent 20 years in government employ. This is a novice attempt. A learning curve, if you will. There is no relation to actual persons, Clayton New York is a place of Fiction. The characters and incidents are a product of the author's imagination and are used fictitiously.

L''Abbaye du saint esprit is a medieval devotional treatise written for those who "would like to enter into religion but may not" for various reasons. The treatise seeks to aid the uncloistered reader in living a spiritual life by creating, within the reader''s conscience, a metaphorical abbey in which each room represents a Christian virtue or a charitable act. After meditating on the metaphorical abbey, a devout person could symbolically carry its spiritual lessons out into the secular world. The Abbey of the Holy Ghost: Margaret of York, Charles the Bold, and the Politics of Devotion uses original French and English manuscripts to investigate this medieval devotional treatise, which was popular in both France and England and reflects the political and devotional movements of the period-especially those observed in Margaret of York''s life after she married Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Special consideration is given to additional material in the Douce 365 L''Abbaye du saint espirit commissioned by Margaret of York upon her marriage. In addition to offering discussions of matters pertaining to the original audience of the devotions, its Victorine influence, the English lay devotion, the devotio moderna movement, and medieval women''s studies generally, author Kathryn Anderson Hall also provides a new modern English translation of the Douce 365 L''Abbaye. This edition of L''Abbaye du saint esprit offers an authoritative survey of the text''s manuscripts and readership. Moreover, by setting the Douce 365 manuscript in its specific historical and political contexts and through detailed analysis, Kathryn A. Hall''s meticulous study argues convincingly that this manuscript sought to influence Margaret of York and her husband Charles the Bold to soften the harsh treatment imposed on Charles''s territories. In so doing, Hall reminds us that despite mysticism''s professed separation from the world, it is and always has been a practice with deeply significant effects in its historical and political worlds.
