Book Description
It is summer in the south of France, and Pea and her little sister Margot spend their days running free, inventing games in the meadow behind their house. But Pea has worries beyond her five and a half years. Her father has died in an accident, and her mother has just lost a baby. Maman is English, already isolated in this small, foreign village, and in her compounded grief, she has retreated even further. Pea and Margot stay out of her way and try to make things better, but they can't make Maman happy again. When Pea befriends Claude, a man who seems to love the meadow as she does, she wonders if he could be a new papa. But why do the other villagers view Claude with suspicion, and what secrets does his large empty house hold? Beautifully written, haunting, and full of surprises, The Night Rainbow is a novel about innocence and experience, grief and compassion, and the blessings and perils of imagination.

Author: Tendring CottageRainbow at Midnight
Author: George LipsitzPublisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252063947
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Rainbow at Midnight details the origins and evolution of working-class strategies for independence during and after World War II. Arguing that the 1940s may well have been the most revolutionary decade in U.S. history, George Lipsitz combines popular culture, politics, economics, and history to show how war mobilization transformed the working class and how that transformation brought issues of race, gender, and democracy to the forefront of American political culture. This book is a substantially revised and expanded work developed from the author's heralded 1981 Class and Culture in Cold War America.
RAINBOW IN THE NIGHT A Journey of Redemption

ISBN: 9780578753393
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Although a rainbow in the night sounds impossible, maybe even mythical, these striking "moonbows" are indeed a real but rare phenomenon. Just like solar rainbows, lunar rainbows are formed by the refraction of light in many water droplets, but the light source for a lunar rainbow is moonlight rather than sunlight. Because the light reflecting off the moon is much less intense than the light of the sun, it is difficult for the human eye to detect the colors in a lunar rainbow. To the human eye, a rainbow in the night may appear grey or white. However, all the colors are indeed present, and do become visible in long exposure photographs. In many ways, my life parallels a rainbow in the night. At times I felt dark, devoid of color and meaning, but all along every bright and beautiful hue was visible to my Creator. Just like the radiant colors of a moonbow are revealed by a long exposure photograph, after decades of walking with the Lord, vivid shades are emerging from my darkness. Over the years, the Lord has made visible to me the luminous colors of my life, colors that had been previously veiled from my sight. Now, as the Lord has granted me deeper and deeper healing, and opened my eyes to the brilliance of His work in my life I have come to appreciate the fulfillment of His promises. I realize that I will not see the fullness of these colors until I can see this rainbow more clearly from an eternal perspective. But in the meantime, I'd like to share what the Lord has shown me as I can perceive it from my finite perspective.
