Andrew Wyeth (1917 - 2009)

Christina's World

(1948)

"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter.
Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show."

~Andrew Wyeth

Sidney Sheldon (1917-2007)

“I try to write my books so the reader can’t put them down,” he explained in a 1982 interview. “I try to construct them so when the reader gets to the end of a chapter, he or she has to read just one more chapter. It’s the technique of the old Saturday afternoon serial: leave the guy hanging on the edge of the cliff at the end of the chapter.”

Sidney Sheldon (1917-2007)

The Last Mountain

Wilma Dykeman

(1920-2006)

This Southern author has climbed her last mountain. She died after complications from hip replacement surgery this December. Mrs. Dykeman Stokely wrote one of my all time favorite books, The Tall Woman. A patron once told me she considered it a compliment when people referred to her as tall after reading this book.
