Night is an unmistakably autobiographical account of the author's own gruesome experiences in Nazi Germany's death camps. Told through the eyes of 14-year-old Eliezer, the tragic fate of the Jews from the little town of Sighet unfolds with a heart-wrenching inevitability. Even as they are stuffed into cattle cars bound for Auschwitz, the townspeople refuse to believe rumors of anti-Semitic atrocities. Not until they are marched toward the blazing crematory at the camp's "reception center" does the terrible truth sink in.
Recounting the evils at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, Wiesel's enduring classic of Holocaust literature raises questions of continuing significance for all future generations: How could man commit these horrors, and could such an evil ever be repeated?

Preface to the New Translation ©2006 Elie Wiesel
(P)2006 Recorded Books LLC
"[A] slim volume of terrifying power." (The New York Times)
When I drive, I read... uhm listen. I like SciFi, Fantasy, some Detective and Espionage novels and Religion. Now and then I will also listen to something else.
"A quality production of a gripping tradegy"
It is not easy to listen to someone witnessing about the dark side of humankind. Yet, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Eliezer Wiesel tells his story as a young Jewish boy of 15, later 16 years going through Nazi hell in Auschwitz. He tells it with the force of plainness and naked honesty that grips and doesn't want to let go. 'Night' is according to Wiesel the key with which all his other works needs to be read and understood.
This 'Recorded Books' audio book is an excellent production of a new translation of the French text of 'Night' prepared by Marion Wiesel, Elie's wife. He explains that she knows him the best and has a good feeling for how he thinks and feels. Indeed she has done a marvellous job with the translation.
George Guidall's narration adds to the quality and listening experience of the book. You might think that it is the author himself telling the story of the concentration camps. He brings the terror of the Second World War from a Jewish perspective to life.
The whole production is of such a high quality that you will have to nit pick to find something out of place. While it is not a very long audio book, it is worth every penny! I strongly recommend this autobiographical sketch of inner struggle and coming to grips with a dark reality that warns and caution humankind of its darkside.
Elderly (1932), retired university professor, degrees in engineering and economics.
What is the lasting impact on a 15 year old son who must watch and watch-over his aging father as they struggle to just survive, day by day, the Nazi death camps of WWII. He must watch his father as he is beaten, kicked and force marched from camp to camp during freezing winters barely subsisting on starvation rations.
The son, Eliezer, is a devoted Orthodox Jew pursuing his religious studies, already faltering because of the roundups of Jewish men, including Rabbinical teachers. After years of increasing brutalities and deprivations in their villages and ghettos, the final journeys to the camps begin. Wiesei, a holocaust survivor himself, describes the almost unbelievable torments and tortures, the humiliations and degradations and the killings of women, children and the aged.
He ponders the universal question of man's inhumanity to man. He addresses the inevitable questions the survivors must confront: How to react toward his former masters; Is revenge-in-kind acceptable; Why did I survive and my family did not?
Elie Wiesel was awarded a Pulitzer Peace Prize and a Congressional Gold Medal for his activities after the war. NIGHT is, in part, autobiographical. Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor. Not all of his family survived.
The writing is clear and graphic. The story is suspenseful and compelling.
This is not light reading. But the events did happen and they must never be forgotten.
"A must read. Never forget."
On my second time through this book. After reading (and re-reading) The rise and fall of the third Reich by WIlliam Shirer I wanted even more information on this blighted page in our human history. Such a sureal unfolding of genicide when you read how one survivor came back to the author's village and railed against the Nazis and begged his fellow jews to leave while they could. No one listened to him until it was too late.
Knowledge is knowing the way. Wisdom is looking for an alternative, more interesting road to get there. Audiobooks are that road.
"This book consumed me"
This book totally affected me. I don't remember ever being so physically and emotionally caught up in any book like I was with this one. I cried, I thought about it throughout the day, I dreamt about it in the night. Elie Wiesel wrote the most haunting account of his young life. From being ripped from his home to being separated from his mother and sister to caring and feeling responsible for his father in his journey from concentration camp to concentration camp. It shows the depths of human despair and the height of out of control power.
Narrator George Guidall brings life to the book. He was perfect. Listening to this book instead of reading it literally brought Elie Wiesel right into your heart. Mr. Guidall had the inflection, pain and weariness in his voice that really brought it home. He is obviously familiar with some of the important Jewish prayers like Kaddish (the prayer said for the dead). He ripped out my heart when he began to recite it.
I can't say enough about the importance of this book. Please listen to it. It is essential to use the lessons you will learn in the book to make you a better person. You won't be the same after this one.
"An Story Too Many Have Forgotten"
This book is very well written and told. The author is able to give you just a glimpse of the pain he and others suffered at the hands of evil rulers, evil followers and even persecuted Jews in Nazi Germany. You realize how easy it can be for men to be broken and for animal nature to kick in and take over. You learn how one's soul can be broken to a point that you wonder how they can ever come back, yet even as broken down as they were, they continued to fight to live each day in a horrible hell. It brings across the point of how easy people choose to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that life is just fine, that human beings could never be so cruel to other human beings and how pathetic we can be when we choose to ignore another's plight because we just don't want to get involved. It makes you think twice about who you are and what you stand for and it breaks your heart to know that the persecuted people hoped over and over that someone would come to help them and yet we failed them for so long. This book is so applicable in today's times and should help to awaken anyone questioning human suffering in other countries and brings across the point that we cannot stand idly by while others in the world are suffering persecution at the hands of evil rulers and terrorists.
"Powerful and Emotional"
I came across this book rather by accident in watching a show on the History Channel called the Boys of Buchenwald. It mentions some excerpts from this and I went in search of it here.
This is truly a powerful, emotional book. It moves you as you hear it in first person, told through the eyes of a teenage boy witnessing the worst murders committed in recent history.
All I could think of was my own 12 year old son, picturing him walking the path that Elie walked. My heart broke repeatedly, but some how in all of it, his strength and resolve was there, deep inside, even when he didn't see it in himself.
I recommend this to everyone I know now. It will change you.
"Intro. to Holocaust for Young Adults"
Highly acclaimed author Elie Weisel recounts his personal account of the Holocaust from his youth in Siget to the bowels of Hell in the concentration camps. His first hand account is an excellent personalization of horrors experienced by 6 million Jews - a number that is impossible to grasp - and allows the reader to intimately share the experience and thoughts of a Holocaust survivor.
Night is also finely written - yet not too overwelming in language or length.
Should be required reading for all High School students - of all races.
"Everyone needs to hear this story."
I bought this book the week before I visited Auschwitz. Listening to it as I sat on the train--staring out the window into the bleak, snow-covered Polish countryside--was incredibly emotional. That experience is permanently etched into my memory.
Of course, even if you are not on your way to visit a concentration camp, the story needs to be heard. This audiobook is the way to hear it.
The narrator is perfect. The story is touching, memorable and chilling. A definite must-listen.
"Audible hopes you have enjoyed this book"
When I got to that part (Audible hopes you have enjoyed this book), I nearly threw my headphones and shouted, NO! NO! I didn't!
Not that I didn't receive information and insight, or have empathy. But this is not a book to be enjoyed. It is a tortured retelling of events in the life of Elie Wiesel.
I understand that this is a book written to educate younger readers about what happened to the Jews in WWII, but I found it to be lacking in detail. There were obvious parts missing. I did a little more research on Elie Wiesel after listening to the book and found out more about his life. It would have been nice if those things had not been removed or withheld from the book.
Even though I didn't enjoy this book, I'm not sorry I listened to it. But it broke my heart.
"An old book that still terrifies"
My daughter had to write a paper on this. I got the audio book so I could reaquaint myself with the book too, For such a slight volume it packs a brass knuckeld punch to human self deception. It destroys the fiction that hard times bring out the best in people instead of the worst, that god can save you from the hands of mere human cruelty, and that a sons love for a father is unassailable. Yet in the end there is a type of redemption for the living. If for no other reason that to be the one to tell the story.
"Haunting, deeply moving and disturbing"
Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, Israeli author and 1986 Nobel Peace Prizewinner, presents to us a compelling, haunting and disturbing story.
Beautifully written, autobiographical, this personal narrative reflects the views of a 14 year-old boy torn from his home and community in Transylvania in the Second World War. He is traumatised by his separation from his mother and little sister, witnessing their subsequent consumption by Nazi fires and vengeance. Through one traumatising experience to the next, he manages, by a sinew at times, to retain his link with his father, surviving Auschwitz and Buchenwald... separated in the end by death and shame.
We follow the story of a Jewish community which could not contemplate the atrocities they would experience. They could not imagine the way in which the communities in which they were integrated would allow them to be expelled to concentration camps and annihilation. They could not foresee what it would be like to be marched out of their homes. "The town seemed deserted, but behind the shutters, our friends of yesterday were probably waiting for the moment when they could loot our homes".
They could not foresee the railway trucks full of Jews, the impact of scarcity and hunger and uncertainty on people's relationships. They could not have planned for the few hours they were given before they were expelled from their homes, burying valuable possessions under the floor-boards hoping one day, but never able, to reclaim their possessions. They could not imagine the cruelty, the violence, the humilation, the selection processes, the death factories, the fires, the trains, the labour camps, the public hangings, the beatings and the torture.
Elie wanders why and whether this is allowed to happen in the 20th century. He imagines the scenes of expulsions in the Inquisition, but not now when the whole world knew what was happening. And yet, the silence, the denials, and the lack of response prevailed.
"The ghetto was ruled by neither German nor Jew" he writes. "It was ruled ... by delusion".
Elie loses his trust in God and refuses to accept the existence of an all-knowing and all-good god who allows such barbarity to persist. We see stories of trust and reliability, love and warmth, tenderness and sacrifice. Wiesel writes beautifully and at times sparsely: "The synagogue resembled a railway station ... baggage and tears".
The recording contains additional material - Elie Wiesel's impressive Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech; his revised preface and discussion of why he wrote this book; and a valuable review of the book and its importance by Francois Mauriac, the French author who first encouraged Elie Wiesel to publish and assisted him after many failures, in getting into press.
The book is beautifully written, translated by his wife, and movingly read by George Guidall. Around three hours long it is a compelling and unforgettable audience with Elie Wiesel: haunting, disturbing, moving, human, insightful and lingering in the memory.
"Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp that turned my life into one long night, seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never shall I forget those things even were I condemned to live as long as god himself"

Estimated Standard Shipping Delivery Dates
Parker thinks he's a normal cat, says his "mom," Jessica. Granted, he can't carry his tail proudly in the air like most kitties, and it can't be denied that his walk is a bit crooked. But he runs about and plays like most young cats, pounces on his favorite toys (catnip mice), teases his big "brother," Captain (another ginger cat), loves to cuddle with his humans, and has a healthy appetite (too healthy, sometimes, Jessica admits).
Parker is also a Plow & Hearth pet model.
You may have seen Parker in our catalog and on our web site over the past year, lounging around in our latest pet beds like the Kitten Caboodle Cat Bed Pouf (#53359), the Rattan Cat House (#53266) and the Waterproof Heated Outdoor Cat House (#52626), or snuggling into our Cozy Comfort Micro Velour Blankets (#93130). But he had a lot of healing to do before he was able to join the Plow & Hearth team as an employee.
A year ago this month, Parker was found hiding behind a woodpile in the parking lot outside our photo studio. Starving, dehydrated, riddled with worms and badly injured, the tiny kitten probably would not have lived through another day had the studio team not immediately rushed him to a nearby veterinary. Though not more than six weeks old by the veterinarian's estimate, there was no sign of his family, nor any indication of how he might have managed to escape from the animal that apparently (going by the teeth marks in his little body) had picked him up and shaken him, leaving him with a hernia, broken rib, punctured liver and damaged spine.
"He was miserable, but desperate for help," recalls Assistant Photographer Jessica. "When [Plow & Hearth Producer] Matt pulled him out of the wood pile and handed him off to me, Parker just clung to my shirt, crying. I knew right away that I wanted to adopt him." Parker relaxing between takes.
It was the best thing that could have happened to Parker (whose name was inspired by the parking lot in which he was found). Jessica's fiancé, Hayes, works from a home office, so he was able to give Parker the frequent attention, feeding and treatment the kitten required after the surgery for his hernia and liver. Before long, Parker became strongly bonded to Hayes.
"It was like Parker imprinted on Hayes," Jessica recalls with a smile.
Hayes also took Parker to most of his therapy sessions.
"The worst injury was the nerve damage to his spine," Jessica explains "Every single disc had scar tissue, and he had to go through six months of acupuncture and laser therapy treatments."
Parker patiently sits through an accupuncture treatment.
As Parker underwent treatment, Jessica noticed that, while a little shy with strangers at first, he warmed up to them very quickly. Additionally, he was good-natured, patient and cooperative – qualities that make pets successful models. As his health improved, she decided to try bringing him along on photo shoots where a cat was required.
Good cat models are hard to find: being cute and photogenic (Parker is both!) is not enough. Many cats become uneasy in a strange environment and won't stay in the beds or cat houses they're meant to be trying out; others are happy to investigate the products, but get curious when they see the camera pointed at them and break the pose so they can investigate before the shot is taken. Perhaps it's because he's received so much care and handling from the humans in his life, but Parker willingly takes direction and stays put (mostly) for photos, making him an ideal pet model.
"He travels so well in the car," Jessica says. "He doesn't even need to stay in the carrier during short trips. And he's very relaxed on-set. Also, he's very small, which helps."Career Kitty: Parker shows off one of Plow & Hearth's pet beds.
Small he is – at only five pounds, Parker is undersized for his age. His veterinarian thinks his growth was stunted from all he's been through. But what he lacks in size, he more than makes up for in personality. And unlike many models, he hasn't let all the attention from his new career go to his head!
"He's really sweet and cuddly, always sleeps on the bed with us," Jessica shares. "Very chatty and talkative, and he looks you right in your eyes when he's talking to you!
"He even 'talks' to the birds through the window," Jessica adds with a laugh. "He's an indoor-only cat, and sitting and watching the birds is one of his favorite activities."
And though his body may be small, his appetite certainly isn't.
"We have to watch his food intake carefully because his system is so sensitive, and he hates it," Jessica says. "He gets one treat daily, and I think that's the highlight of his day!"
Want to keep up with Parker? "Like" us on Facebook to see more photos, keep checking our blog for updates, and follow him on Twitter. Parker also appears (along with some other four-footed friends) on the Plow Pets board on our Pinterest page. For a closer look at Parker's 5-purr products, follow the links above.

Thinking of adopting a pet? Consider one with "special needs" – they need a home, too, and have a lot of love to give. Jessica says that Parker makes all the effort of taking care of him well worth it!

He was diagnosed in September and underwent a 10-week sessions, which included radiation treatment every day and chemotherapy once a week.
Young said the process was a "test of patience," and he also knows he's not even close to being finished.
"All cancers are different from one person to the next, and this one requires a long period of recovery," Young said during an interview with The Park Record. "Part of it has to do with the fact that I can't eat solid foods because I have no saliva. I'm on a liquid diet and that takes months before I'll be able to eat normally."
Since he has to drink his meals, he has a low energy level, which prevents him from going back to working a full-time job. Consequently his bills are mounting up.
When Young's friend Bruce Christenson heard the bad news, he decided to throw a fundraiser that will be held on today, Saturday, Feb. 2, at 7303 Pineridge Dr. in Upper Pinebrook at 7 p.m.
"One of our friends has a big house up there and she was nice enough to volunteer her home for us," Christenson said. "It will be a fun night to remember."
Admission is a voluntary $5 donation, which will help Young pay for his bills.
"Our goal is to raise at least $1,000," Christenson said. "We already have $200 in cash donations and hopefully we'll get 100 people there who may double down on the five dollars.
The event will feature live music by Christenson's band, Peace Kahuna, which includes his music students Ben Samuels, 18, and his brother Matt, 16, on vocals and drums, respectively.
The Samuels' siblings are the sons of Utah Music Festival and School founders Eric and Alison Samuels, Christenson said.
"It's amazing what good musicians they are, for being so young," he said. "I mean, they obviously come from a family of musicians and all they've done is eat, drink and sleep music all their lives. They have been performing for 14 years, so they are pretty darn solid and it's a pleasure to play with them."
Christenson, who cited Jimi Hendrix, Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs, Steve Howe of Yes and Jeff Beck, as his heroes, has been playing guitar since he was eight.
"I've been a lifelong guitarist and musician and I leaned piano when I was five," he said. "I've always loved music and played band throughout school — trumpet and trombone and all that — but the guitar was the cool instrument to play back then. I wanted to play the electric guitar and get into a rock band."
He started playing with the Samuel brothers a couple of months ago.
"After a few sessions, they suggested we form a band and play at some functions," Christenson said. "We decided a good name would be Peace Kahuna, but since I'm nearly three-times their ages, our other name is Grandpa and the Boys."
Peace Kahuna is an alternative-rock jam band and more than 50 percent of their repertoire ends up in an improv session.
"We would eventually like to write our own material, but right now, we play covers and take those songs to places that most people will allow us to," Christenson said. "We'll go into a funk jam or a blues or jazz jam and play around with it."
The band currently has 12 songs in their repertoire.
"Since we can stretch the songs into 10 minutes, we can play a two-hour set," Christenson chuckled.
In addition to the live music, the fundraiser will feature live and silent auctions.
"The live auction will be for a brand new pair of skis that have been donated to us and the silent auction will include lodging packages, movie tickets, dinners at restaurants and ski equipment," Christenson said. "There will be some snacks and hors d'oeuvres that have been generously donated by area grocery stores."
Throughout the night, the band will also hold opportunity drawings for smaller items, such as gift certificates and ski equipment.
"We'll have the drawings between some songs and then have Pete get up and say a few words to us if he feels comfortable with that," Christenson said.
Young and Christenson knew each other from attending Mountain Life Church and some of its functions.
"Pete has been a good friend of mine and helped me when I was going through my divorce," Christenson said. "When I heard what he was going through, I knew I had to do something."
Young was taken aback when he heard about the fundraiser.
"I was overwhelmed when I found out that Bruce wanted to a benefit for me," he said. "It means a lot."
If people can't attend and want to donate, they can, Christenson said.
"They can send a check made out to Pete Young to Mountain Life Church, 7375 Silver Creek Rd., Park City, Utah, 84098," he said.
Still, even if people can't afford the $5 donation, Christenson said he would just like them to attend the event.
"We would still like them to come dance and have a good time," he said.
While there is an option to RSVP to Christenson at (435) 649-1674 or firstname.lastname@example.com , but it's not mandatory.
"We would just like people to show up," he said.
For more information about the Pete Young Fundraiser that will be held today, Saturday, Feb. 2, at 7 p.m. at 7030 Pineridege Dr., call Bruce Christenson at (435) 649-1674.

ACA is growing after 1st year with USAC marriage
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
It's been nearly a year after the ACA and USAC joined together and so far this year attendance numbers are good. According to the ACA, membership is up and attendance to races are up for road from 15,500 racers in 2011 to 23,000 this year! Inclusion of collegiate events and some success of larger events was largely due to the growth says executive director Chris McGee. Cross has also gotten off to a great start this year with over 1000 racer attendance each weekend in the first 8 weeks of racing! No one would probably agree that this year has been smooth but timing chips are working for some events and USADA will be showing (something not possible before the union) and Pro riders no longer have to worry of suspension if they race locally. Keep in mind those were not the core reasons for joining USAC.

Patricia Blanchard in an undated family photo.
Murder is not a typical occurrence in upscale, outdoorsy Park City. This cozy burg's 8,000 mostly-transplanted, year-round residents are a tight-knit bunch who have worked hard to make a place that's insulated from big city crime. The ski season and events like the Sundance Film Festival swell the population to as many as 60,000, but even then, the worst offenses are typically drunk and disorderly conduct or fender benders.
In the 1990s, however, the successive murders of two local women shook this neighborly town to its base. Rather than sweeping these horrors under the rug, the community mobilized to address an issue crossing social and economic lines that is often ignored even in the most progressive communities: domestic violence.
A Jarring Wake Up Call
The very public murder of Samak resident Nadalee Noble occurred over President's Day weekend, 1990. Her husband, Donald Allan Noble, shot her twice in the head at point-blank range as she walked through the parking lot at Albertsons grocery, now Fresh Market. She had served Donald with divorce papers just 90 minutes earlier.
Teri Orr, then editor of the Park Record newspaper, wrote a four-part, front-page story chronicling the emotional and physical abuse Nadalee suffered at the hands of her husband throughout their nearly 23-year marriage. The pieces, which included interviews with the Noble children, Nadalee's mother and excerpts from Nadalee's journal, were met with mixed reviews. "I was really [criticized] for putting that story on the front page," Orr says. "At the time, Park City was just beginning to emerge in a big way, and people thought Nadalee's story was bad for business."
The second tragedy hit even closer to home. Late in the evening on Sept. 19, 1995, John Blanchard slashed his ex-wife Patricia's tires and broke into her Park Meadows home. He then raped and strangled her while their children—then age 13 and 11—slept down the hall. "Patty's death was a real turning point for the community," says Detective Mary Ford, a 28-year Park City Police Department veteran. "Patty was from here and well liked, and her death was a real wake up call."
Domestic violence is hardly Park City's dirty little secret—statistics in the 1990s and now are on par with national averages—but how Park City dealt with this issue was, by necessity, secretive. "There was a group of women here that I equate to the Underground Railroad," Ford says. Any time Ford or other police officers received a report that a man had committed or was threatening to commit violence against his wife or girlfriend and often children, this group would be called on to provide transportation, a place to stay, child care—pretty much anything—to protect and support domestic violence victims. "These local women were brave in recognizing that and provided what victims needed when they had nowhere else to turn," she notes.
A Community Takes Action
In 1992, ecumenical leaders, law enforcement and other concerned community members including Orr came together to form the Domestic Peace Task Force. In 1995, with a land donation from Deer Valley Resort and building services from New Star construction, the group opened Peace House, a refuge for victims of domestic violence. "Peace House provides a place where families can create self-sufficiency and make choices without the threat of fear," says Jane Patten, Peace House executive director.
Peace House accommodates up to 15 people at a time and last year provided refuge to 100 women and children. The shelter's address is unpublished, and services are free of charge. Outside the shelter, Peace House outreach activities include domestic violence prevention education in local schools, training for health care providers to recognize signs of abuse and an annual candlelight vigil at City Park in October.
Jane Patten, Peace House executive director
Susan Graham, whose name has been changed to protect her identity, credits the Peace House for giving her the emotional and financial support she needed to leave a violent and controlling relationship in 2006. "When I finally went to the Peace House, for the first time in a very long time, I could rest and just be," she says. Like many abused women, Graham has a child with her abuser, making severing ties extremely complicated. Peace House staff put her in touch with the Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake and provided safe childcare, allowing her to attend the numerous meetings and court appearances typical of a custody battle. "All the steps you have to take when you have a child and you finally decide to leave are very overwhelming," Graham says.
Where They Are Now
Orr, who revealed her own history as an abused woman in the Park Record's Nadalee Noble series, continues to advocate for domestic violence prevention in her current position as Park City Performing Arts Foundation executive director by hosting annual presentations of Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, of which 100 percent of the proceeds go to the Peace House.
Both Nadalee and Patricia's convicted murderers—Donald Allan Noble and John Blanchard respectively—are now residing at the Utah State Prison. The State Board of Pardons and Parole recently decided Blanchard will not receive a parole hearing until 2020. He will be 76 years old. In 2009, the same body denied Noble additional parole hearings, ruling that he will remain incarcerated for life.
There is little doubt that Nadalee and Patricia's deaths continue to impact their children and extended families. But perhaps they can take some comfort in knowing that, because of their mothers, Park City now has a sanctuary to help women regain the courage, self-esteem and resources to begin again.
A Tour For Peace: The Peace House is funded in large part by the Park City Board of Realtors' annual Luxury Home Tour. "We feel the funds we raise are very well spent on a very worthwhile cause," says Jim Lea, president of the Board of Realtors' Philanthropic Foundation. This year's Aug. 11 tour features homes in The Colony. Tickets are $45 in advance or $50 the day of the tour.

Post subject: Carla Kelly's My Loving Vigil Keeping
I just put down my brand-new copy of Carla's latest book My Loving Vigil Keeping, from Bonneville Books, a LDS (Mormon) publisher. Don't let that scare off those of you who aren't Mormon! This is a wonderful book. I pre-ordered it from Barnes and Noble, and it came a few days ahead of its actual release date.
Della, the heroine, is a school teacher who goes to work in a real-life community centering around a coal mine in 1899-1900 Utah. Della is the typical poor relation who was given little love or support since the death of her father, who was also a miner. Despite the odds, she managed to become independent and she is truly a good teacher who loves her work and her students. This is a romance so of course she falls in love - with a miner! The last kind of husband she ever intended to choose...
This book is about twice the length of a Regency, and I love the way this has allowed the author to get into the entire community, including Della's students and their parents. When the tragedy happens (since this book was written around a real-life tragedy, the Scofield mining explosion) it is heart-wrenching for both the reader and the heroine. Not only that, Della's miner is a widower who has a darling little girl, and that character will steal your hearts.
I also want to assure readers that while Della attends church and has the occasional conversation or situation that discusses the Mormon way of life, I believe that non-church members will have no problem understanding the occasional glimpse of the Mormon lifestyle. If you allow that to put you off from buying and reading this wonderful book, you'll be missing a real treat!

I am interested in trying that one! I like Carla Kelly's style, but I haven't read any of the books that she's done for the Mormon press.
I didn't discover Kelly until I came to AAR so I still have backlist to savor.

Lynn, this is definitely the one to try as your first Mormon inspirational. After finishing this one I went back and read Borrowed Light and Enduring Light, which have been sitting on my tbr mountain for awhile, since I knew they were both a little more on the inspirational side and I tend to avoid inspirationals of any creed. (I don't care for being preached at, even when it's my religion.) I should have known better - Carla doesn't ever preach. I loved both of them, and particularly appreciated their length and the fact that the second book picks up just about where the first one leaves off. I wasn't at all ready to leave Julia, Paul and the rest of the gang.
Where those two books really shine is the detailed facts of life on the Wyoming cattle range. Carla's skills as a historian are tremendous. (I believe that her history degree centered on the Indian Wars, plus she spent years with living history as a ranger up in North Dakota, if I recall correctly.) The Native American characters felt real to me, and the hero is of course half Indian. I was warmed by so much. Julia's family, and how they coped with tragedy, had me in tears. The facts about the LDS church and how it was practiced and viewed a century ago also moved me. (Julia's treatment of the itinerant preacher in Borrowed Light makes you want to stand up and cheer. I too have faced down a narrow-minded "Christian" who tried to tell me some "facts" about the history of my church.) The dozens of recipes that Julia cooks for her cowboys sound (mostly) so good, and I was happy to find some recipes at the end of Enduring Light, though I don't think I will ever try Rocky Mountain Oysters or Sonofagun Stew.
At any rate, I hope that some of you will try My Loving Vigil Keeping. Don't be surprised when you finish it and find that the next thing you do is to get on your computer with Amazon or Barnes and Noble to order Borrowed Light and Enduring Light!
PS: my favorite Regency by Carla Kelly is Mrs. Drew Plays Her Hand. If you haven't read that one yet, you're in for a real treat!

Kari, thank you for bringing this book to my attention. I downloaded it in ebook form the day it became available and have just finished reading it.
I am several generations removed from my own coal mining ancestors. Ancestors who would have been mining in a different part of the country but at the same time as those miners of Winters Quarters.
Carla Kelly waved her own brand of word magic to tell this tale, and it was beautifully and touchingly done. I am proud of my own coal mining roots and I can't say how much her portrayal of the miners and their families affected me. But then, that is Carla Kelly's specialty.
In any case, this is a book that will go on my own DIK shelf.

Terri, I have to tell you, this book is twanging a real chord with miners' children and descendants out here. These British Isles miners and Finns who came to Winter Quarters to mine were deeply conscious of the American Dream, and the role it would play in their children's lives. As Owen Davis points out, where would Angharad ever have even the glimmer of a chance to go to college some day, but here?
Parmley's son, Thomas (1897-1997) got a PhD at Cornell Univ., and taught physics at the University of Utah. Both Thomas's father William, and his uncle Thomas, went into the pits in England when they were children. It only took one generation for the American Dream to bloom for Dr. Parmley.
So many of these characters are real people. Researching them turned out to be one of the joys of my life. And when I finished the manuscript, I took white roses to some of "my guys" in the Scofield Cemetery. They're with me still.
It's that kind of book. What a rare privilege to write it.

Carla, I liked the thought of the white roses - thank you for sharing that and for sharing the information on William Parmleys son. It is heartening to know that even in the aftermath of such a horrific tragedy, personal triumphs would still await some of the surviving family members.
Youve written a special book that will be with me for a long time.
