Wymans Creek
Wymans Creek is just one of Mom’s novels but is where I felt led to start. This is the story of a family on the journey of life and not only tells of their family but also of the people that they were involved with, the people without whom there would be no story. This story will grip your heart as you realize that no matter what happens in life, life goes on. Rachel, the main character, is courageous throughout the story. She has been thrown some things throughout her life that most people could not have endured. This story shows that women have strength and can endure if put to the test. Lister, Rachel’s aunt, is the cornerstone of the family. She reads her Bible and prays over the family and loves Jesus with all of her heart! Wilkins, the main male character, is thrown a challenge in this story that will show that he is a better man than he realizes. There are twists and turns in this story of this family that shows what people go through in this journey we call life. I hope you enjoy reading this story. It is full of action and suspense but also a lesson on what we can all endure if faced with the challenges of life.

Scribbling Women & the Short Story Form
«America is now wholly given over to a d - d mob of scribbling women, and I should have no chance of success while the public taste is occupied with their trash...» Taking Hawthorne's famous 1855 complaint about women writers as a starting point for consideration, Scribbling Women and the Short Story Form is a collection of fourteen critical essays about the short fiction of British and American women writers. This anthology takes a feminist approach, examining the liberating possibilities for women writers of the form of the short story, a genre often associated with alienation or subversion (the writer Frank O'Connor describes the form as marginal or «outlaw»). Covering the work of selected women writers from the 1850s through the late twentieth century, this collection includes essays on well-known authors such as Rebecca Harding Davis, Louisa May Alcott, Kate Chopin, Katherine Anne Porter, Flannery O'Connor, Cynthia Ozick, and Ursula K. Le Guin, alongside essays on Harriett Prescott Spofford, Ruth Stewart, L. T. Meade, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Zitkala-Sa, Sui Sin Far, and Lydia Davis, less-known authors whose stories offer rich ground for consideration.

Handbook of the American Short Story
The American short story has always been characterized by exciting aesthetic innovations and an immense range of topics. This handbook offers students and researchers a comprehensive introduction to the multifaceted genre with a special focus on recent developments due to the rise of new media. Part I provides systematic overviews of significant contexts ranging from historical-political backgrounds, short story theories developed by writers, print and digital culture, to current theoretical approaches and canon formation. Part II consists of 35 paired readings of representative short stories by eminent authors, charting major steps in the evolution of the American short story from its beginnings as an art form in the early nineteenth century up to the digital age. The handbook examines historically, methodologically, and theoretically the coming together of the enduring narrative practice of compression and concision in American literature. It offers fresh and original readings relevant to studying the American short story and shows how the genre performs American culture.
