CROSSING THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE

Three American Diaries 1853-1854

By: Ronald John Vierling

Told through preserved family diaries, Crossing the Continental Divide joins two major 19th century American themes—the moral consequences of chattel slavery and the cultural consequences of settlers going west. In 1853, newly widowed Ethan Fall leaves Oxford, England, sailing with his two young daughters to Charleston, South Carolina, to begin their new life. When they arrive, Ethan unexpectedly becomes responsible for Sensible Rose, a sixteen-year-old girl of mixed racial parentage. In an effort to remove his daughters and Rose as far away as possible from the South’s “peculiar institution,” the four join a wagon train following the Oregon Trail. As they travel, Crossing the Continental Divide tells the story of their complex and changing relationships, set against the dangers of slavery coupled to the dangers of westward migration.

FALLING IN LOVE AT THE END OF THE ROAD

By: Ronald John Vierling

A Most Unlikely Likely American Tale Appearances can be deceptive. First impressions can be misleading. People who might seem so different that they could never become a couple sometimes turn around and fall in love. Perhaps that's part of what makes the world interesting. Falling in Love at the End of the Road is that kind of story. A young, unmarried Haitian woman, Isabel Jean, fleeing with her ten-year-old daughter as far away from the dangers of violent abuse as she can all the way to Ely, Minnesota crosses paths with a mature Caucasian widower, Samuel Woolf, who has lived in lonely isolation in his family's lake house for two years following his beloved wife's death. Initially drawn together by her financial and his emotional needs, as time passes, they discover their apparent ethnic differences are superficial; their psychological similarities are profound. However, be advised: while this tale might initially appear predictable and simple, it is, in fact, deceptively compelling and complex as compelling as the heroine and hero's evolving relationship and as complex as the surprising if terrifying climax. Isabel Ebony Jean and Samuel Singer Woolf may well be the most unlikely likely couple modern readers have ever had the experience of meeting. Joyce Davidsen M.Ed., University of Central Florida

Rising from the Ashes Vol 1

Beyond the Abyss

By: Ronald John Vierling

All three character driven two-act plays in Beyond the Abyss Adams Daughter, Common Ground, and Sederare set in present day Chicago. Of note, while each explores themes that attend the tragedy of Holocaust, none of the plays attempts to portray the vile and violent conditions inside concentration or death camps. Rather, the plays portray the profound moral, social, and psychological ramifications of the Shoah as the horrors and dislocations of World War II continue to influence modern Jewish life.

Rising from the Ashes Vol 2

Chronicles of Zion

By: Ronald John Vierling

The three two-character, two-act plays in Chronicles of ZionThe Attic Room, The Tower, and The Children of Moses Davartake place in settings that range from Poland to Israel, from Ireland to Spain. The plays themselves center around motifs that vary from historical fantasy melded to conflicted morality; political, military, and religious confrontation melded to the hope for reconciliation; conflicted morality melted to historical fantasy, all three researched portrayals requiring the suspension of disbelief.

Clementine Camille

An American Romance

By: Ronald John Vierling

Ronald Vierling's first novel in the Clementine trilogy, Clementine Camille: Volume One: An American Romance, ends when African-American Clementine Brown and Caucasian-American Tyler Raymond's twin daughters are six years old. Clementine Camille: Volume Two: An American Memoir begins ten years later, when the couple's twin daughters, Josephine and Abigail, are fifteen, which means Clementine and Tyler not only face issues that naturally arise with raising teen-age daughters, they must also deal with those issues that attend their daughters' mixed racial heritage. Thus, while An American Romance chronicles how Clementine and Tyler became adults and parents as well as the story of the family and friends who shaped them, the events that unfold in An American Memoir test everything they have come to believe about love and loss, about race and identity, about ambition and the sometimes contradictory consequences of achievement.
