Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

History in the making in the 1800s and 1900s in a small rural Southeastern community is something that most Americans never get to experience in their lifetime. A lot of readers would enjoy reading about such a magical place in time, especially how life was without public transportation, without public communication, without electricity and without inside running water and bathroom facilities. It provides an eye-opening perspective into today's American luxuries! Nevertheless, love stories of families excelling in such "a time as this" is evident and resilience holds while technology abounds. Snow Camp, North Carolina today is much the same with several churches, one elementary school, one post office, one gas station, one fire station, a couple of restaurants, and a couple of small grocery/variety stores. It does boast of an Outdoor Drama, "The Sword of Peace" that draws many visitors during the Summer. A historical marker located in the heart of Snow Camp states that Lord Cornwallis camped in the area after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse and used the home of a Quaker, Simon Dixon, as his headquarters. This is a documentation of a place in"time" as it slowly, but surely, slips away! Debbie Moon, the author, was granted the privilege of growing up in such an environment at such a time as this! She is a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, church musician, children's choir director, paralegal analyst, breast cancer survivor, and friend to all. Blessings to you as her legacy is shared.
