Westwords

Coming of Age in the American South During World War Ii

By: Lewis W. Heniford

Fifteen-year-old Weston Newcomb is fairly surprised when he passes the early entrance exam into the university at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in May of 1943. But the escape from his home in Loris is welcome. Skipping his senior year at a small town high school, West is now somewhat at a disadvantage, both in youth and in education at this large university. In his first class, he encounters a strangely antagonistic professor, a specialist in Thomas Wolfe, who complicates his life. However, his classmates give him a much broader education. Each new acquaintance seems to have lived a life startlingly different from his own. Self-centered and solipsistic but hungry for skills to serve others, West encounters a gamut of friendships as he stumbles, fumbles, and struggles toward social and sexual adulthood. Counterpoint to his progress are the guns of World War II. Nazis have invaded Poland, the Japanese have struck Pearl Harbor, and atrocities engulf the planet. Only gradually does West perceive the importance of the war. He integrates personal growth and a discovery of authoritarianism at its worst. He experiences the dark midnight of FDRs death and the bright noon of wars end. He finds his chance for manhood in a world he must help to rebuild. West learns that war is hell, but so is growing up.

Less Than Two Days

A Tale of an American Man and an English Woman Wanting to Love Each Other 1951–1957

By: Lewis W. Heniford

A young American soldier stationed in Germany in 1952 meets a British girl in London. He romances her during their first day in a glorious pub crawl while accompanied by his army buddy. The next day, they enjoy the playing fields of Eton and a band concert for the queen at Windsor Castle. When they bid each other goodbye at Euston Station, they are already infatuated. They have seen each other for less than two days, never alone. She tries to visit him in Germany, but travel restrictions for the trip cause her to cancel. Angry over being stood up, the soldier and his buddy visit Ireland, Wales, and even London; and he does not call her. Returning to the barracks in Germany, he finds her telegram that had arrived too late. The two cannot meet before his being sent back to the states for separation from the military. They exchange letters for four years, trying to reunite either in England or America. But problems intervene, including a girl to whom the soldier had been engaged to before his London adventure and a conniving woman. He and the British girl struggle during his residency year at Stanford University to qualify for his PhD. Their greatest problem is pregnancy.

Cross a Far River

A Novella of Rebellion and Sacrifice in the American 1770S

By: Lewis W. Heniford

Daniel, a black man who is well educated and free, supervises Foundhaven, a rice plantation on the upper reaches of the Pee Dee River in South Carolina in 1776. Pox has decimated his Negro workforce, compelling the purchase of a rebellious lot from Barbados. He and his overseer leave for Charles Town to get them just as a South Carolina provincial congress delegation arrives to engage Foundhaven’s owner in the Sons of Liberty conference in the state capital about a united front against George III’s tyrannies. The master and mistress of the plantation are feting the military men when word arrives about a battle in Lexington, Massachusetts, and the harsh British punishment. As the delegation departs for their conference, Daniel buys the lot from Barbados and marries the black woman with them. The purchased men enable the rice harvest, and he turns to his plan to lead Foundhaven slaves and others from the Carolinas to freedom beyond the Mississippi. He calls representatives of Indian nations and slaves at other plantations. The nearer the meeting comes, the more doubts Daniel has about his role. The Barbados woman he has married forces him to decide his role. When he declines to lead the exodus, she has the blacks kill him.

C.S. Lewis on Faith

By: Clive Staples Lewis

Faith' could be described as a strong or unshakable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence. Everyone has faith in something or someone, even if it's just that the sun will rise tomorrow, or that your friend will meet you at the time and place appointed. But this selection from the writings of C.S. Lewis deals with a very specific form of faith, the Christian faith. An insightful look into the very private struggles of C.S. Lewis as he sought to define his own beliefs.
