When Christopher-known to his friends as "Topher"-receives a letter in the mail twenty-two years after his high school graduation inviting him back to The Oasis, he knows it's the beginning of a journey through some very tender memories. He returns to his parents' garage with trepidation, as he forces himself to encounter the one thing he has always avoided...those memories: It was their senior year of high school. A year of fun, friendships, hot rod cars, racing, and spending time together at their favorite hangout-The Oasis. And it was also their moment... ...their moment in time. Although the group of friends had grown up together in a small town in Southern California in the 80s, they are constantly reminded of an era-gone-by at their 1950's-style diner hangout, The Oasis. Curious about the pictures on the walls and the atmosphere of the diner, they want to know more about that bygone era. Runaway, the non-quintessential girl of the group, is especially curious about the cars and racing, and takes on an early role as the trendsetter for the group of friends. By the time they hit their teens, they all acquire their own classic cars and are learning to race. By their senior year of high school, Runaway's car club-The Shakers-is the talk of the town. Before they know it, the friends are pushed to their limits with competition from other car clubs that have formed at nearby high schools, and everyone is looking forward to the big end-of-year competition for the Tri-City Championship trophy. There are some bumps along the way when a friendly competition is tarnished by a horrifying wreck caused by a jealous rival. To get even, Runaway engages in a winner-take-all contest against her bitter enemy, putting her beloved '57 Chevy at stake. Will they be able to move past the wreckage of their loss of innocence? Or will they lose everything they've ever loved?

& 1 color photo & 12 b/w drawings & 5 x 8 . Written by an officer of the famed Royal Highland Regiment (the Black Watch) & The most extensive British officer's diary of the American Revolution Like many of his fellow officers, John Peebles kept a diary throughout his military career. Unlike the diaries of his contemporaries, however, Peebles' covers nearly six years of the campaign in America, providing precise details of engagements such as Fort Washington, Brandywine, Monmouth, Verplanks Point, Charlestown, and Yorktown. But Peebles did far more than describe great events: His diary is as remarkable for its descriptions of the celebrations of the queen's birthday at Newport in 1777 as it is for its account of the taking of Fort Washington in 1776. Ira D. Gruber is a professor of history at Rice University in Houston, Texas. He has studied, taught, and written about the American Revolution for more than 30 years.

Between 1939 and 1945, the civilian population in Britain was exposed to the grim and dangerous realities of war to an unprecedented degree. Yet many remember those years as bringing fulfilment, a sense of adventure, even exhilaration, and found the common danger gave their lives a shape and purpose that they have been unable to recapture in peacetime. Others see the wartime as essentially a time of nothing more valiant than endurance, of 'making do', a dismal episode of their lives remembered above all for its deprivations, restrictions and tedium. Yet others found that, while there was certainly intensity, it was to be found in the frustrations and disappointments they experienced, perhaps through an ambition being thwarted, a relationship abruptly severed, an education cut short, a childhood missed.This book gathers the personal stories of 35 people, drawn from all walks of life, and evokes as never before, the reality of life in Britain during the Second World War. Here is a uniquely personal portrait of a nation at war, with contemporary photographs, diaries, letters, poems, and other memorabilia belonging to the men and women whose wartime lives fill this absorbing book.
