Elden Duane Rogers died on March 19, 1945, one of the eight hundred who perished on the aircraft carrier USS Franklin that day. It was his nineteenth birthday. Write home often, the navy told sailors like Elden, thinking it would keep up morale among sailors and those waiting for them stateside. But they were told not to write anything about where they were, where they had been, where they were going, what they were doing, or even what the weather was like. Spies were presumed everywhere, and loose lips could sink ships. Before a sailor’s letter could be sealed and sent, a censor read it and with a razor blade cut out words that told too much. So Long for Now reconstructs the lost world of a sailor’s daily life in World War II, piecing together letters from Elden’s family in Vega, Texas, and from his girlfriend, the untold stories behind Elden’s own letters, and the context of the war itself. Historian Jerry L. Rogers delves past censored letters limited to small talk and local gossip to conjure the danger, excitement, boredom, and sacrifices that sailors in the Pacific theater endured. He follows Elden from enlistment in the navy through every battle the USS Franklin saw. Flight deck crashes, kamikaze hits, and tensions and alliances aboard ship all built to the unprecedented chaos and casualties of the Japanese air attack on March 19. “So long for now,” Elden signed off—never “Goodbye.” This moving work poignantly confronts the horrors of war, giving voice to a young sailor, the country he served, the family and friends he left behind, and the hope that has sustained them.

Spenser was in a rut. He was the only child of a widowed mom who had prayed for him all through his growing-up years. The day he was stopped by the police while he was on his way to pick up his boss to take him to the airport for a business trip, things changed dramatically for him. He had wondered why this terrible disruption was happening. But what happened after that changed everything about his life from that day forward. He went from being boring and stale to interesting and fulfilling almost overnight. Things looked like they were going the wrong way when he was arrested, but that all changed. Everything turned out better than he could have ever expected. The people he met directly because of his arrest and troubles included Emily, a pretty nurse at Memorial Hospital; her sister, Frannie; and her parents; along with a long list of other special people. He did eventually find out why he had to go through this trial, and he also found out that he needed to choose to change the way he lived his life. He experienced many surprises along the way.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award Based on hitherto unexamined sources: interviews with ex-slaves, diaries and accounts by former slaveholders, this "rich and admirably written book" (Eugene Genovese, The New York Times Book Review) aims to show how, during the Civil War and after Emancipation, blacks and whites interacted in ways that dramatized not only their mutual dependency, but the ambiguities and tensions that had always been latent in "the peculiar institution." Contents 1. "The Faithful Slave" 2. Black Liberators 3. Kingdom Comin' 4. Slaves No More 5. How Free is Free? 6. The Feel of Freedom: Moving About 7. Back to Work: The Old Compulsions 8. Back to Work: The New Dependency 9. The Gospel and the Primer 10. Becoming a People

Matters get worse when Abbie is twelve and their emotional, spirited mother casts them into a crisis for which no one is prepared. Six years later, the Morris family have rebuilt their lives, and when Abbie and Beatie, Abbie's adored elder sister, set off for the county fair, the world seems a good place. But their new-found happiness is short-lived. A chance encounter with Louis, a personable, handsome stranger, has repercussions that threaten to destroy Abbie's peace of mind for ever. Abbie struggles to forget what happened that night and to get on with her life, and when she meets charming, honourable Arthur - and re-encounters Louis - it becomes clear that she might never recover from the night they stayed so long at the fair...
