About Copperhead:

From director Ron Maxwell, (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals) Copperhead is unlike any other Civil War movie. Far from the Virginia battlefield, it’s the exciting story of Abner Beech (Billy Campbell), a peace-loving but stubborn dairy farmer in upstate New York. He detests slavery, but opposes the war for the sake of the “union.” Abner is neither a Yankee nor a Rebel. He is a Copperhead. This is an extraordinary story of family and community.

Is This Tomorrow

Is This Tomorrow by Caroline Leavitt

About The Book:

What does it mean to be an outsider in a community? How do we keep the ones we love safe? In 1950s suburbia, everything is meant to be perfect, even as paranoia about Communism and nuclear bombs winds its way through the supposed paradise. But when divorced, sensual-without-meaning-to-be, Jewish single mother Ava rents a house with her 12-year-old son, Lewis, she struggles to fit in and find her place in the neighborhood. Lewis finds solace with the only other two fatherless kids on the block, his best friends Jimmy and Rose, but when Jimmy vanishes one day, Ava is suddenly suspect and Lewis and Rose’s life will be changed forever. A novel about people trying desperately to uncover secrets about the past - and about themselves.

My Thoughts:

I love this book! I love life in suburbia, and this plays it perfectly for the time period. This is a very climatic book. You will be hooked! You will be shocked by the ending! A great read!
