Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. 1st Edition. x, [6], 232, [8] pages. Signed by the author on the title page. The chapters are: Red Sky at Night; Red Sky at Morning; Ransom, Passing; Baby, Leaving; The Choosing of Little Jewel; and The Salvation of Cora Emery McRae. Myra Dell McLarey was born on September 5, 1942, in Okay, Arkansas. McLarey earned a bachelor's degree in history from Southern State College in Magnolia in 1964 and a master's degree in history from Central Missouri State in Warrensburg in 1965. She later studied at the Breadloaf School of English at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont, and did doctoral work in African-American history and the history of the West at the University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville before completing course work for a doctorate in education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in 1995. McLarey served on the faculty of the Tennessee Governor's Academy for Writing Teachers (1987-1995) and taught writing at Harvard (1991-2000). She has also taught at Emerson University, the University of New Hampshire, and the New England Conservatory of Music. She has served on the faculty of the Institute for Writing and Thinking at Bard College. McLarey is the co-author of Moncrief, My Journey to the NBA, written with Arkansas basketball legend Sidney Moncrief. Her novel, The Road to Eden's Ridge, was co-authored with Linda Weeks under the pen name M. L. Rose. Her novel, The Last Will and Testament of Rosetta Sugars Tramble, was nominated for the Lillian Smith Book Award, given to recognize books on issues of racial and social justice. McLarey's Water from the Well has been described as a work of "place" and brings to life the characters, locations, and memories of southwest Arkansas through a century's worth of short tales that explore a rural community divided by race. Water from the Well was a finalist for the Lillian Smith Award, which "honors those authors who, through their writing, carry on [Lillian] Smith's legacy of elucidating the condition of racial and social inequity and proposing a vision of justice and human understanding." Spanning over a century of history as rich as the Delta's many-hued soil, and in language vivid with imagery, humor, idiom,and suggestion, the intertwined stories of the novel have a brilliant dramatic and moral inevitability; the secret rape of a young black woman named Baby and the even more secret murder of her rapist; the abiding rage of former slave Ransom Tramble; the displacement of the Yankee woman Cora Emery McRae; the passions of Sheriff David Ben Sugars; the magical power of the beautiful Delie Turner; the mystical, green-eyed vision of Delie's grandmother, Rebekah Sarah; and the strength anguish, desire, courage. and mystery of Samuel Daniel McElroy, the grandson of slaves. Powerful, transporting, filled with color, light, and character, Myra McLarey's consummately rendered novel speaks to us eloquently about a time and a place that are all but lost. In her accomplished hands, the voices from that world come alive again to tell us what we still need to know about America, and about ourselves. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Boston-based writer McLarey proves that you can go home again in this lyrical first novel set in her native southwest Arkansas. Segueing back and forth in time from 1905 to 1972, she uses brief episodes to illuminate the multifarious incidents that form the web of local history: a baseball game between black and white men; a tornado that destroys some homes and lives while capriciously sparing others; a sheriff's passion for a woman with flaming hair; an old black woman's revenge for the rape of her great-granddaughter; a Maine woman who travels to Sugars Spring to make good on her grandfather's Civil War promise. With their often double first names, the welter of characters who people the side-by-side and inextricably intertwined rural communities of Sugars Spring (white) and Bethel (``colored'') are at first hard to untangle. But the singsong descriptions. Michele McDonald (author photography) (illustrator). Signed.…
