The decision of the eventual Confederate states to secede from the Union set in motion perhaps the most dramatic chapter in American history, and one that has typically been told on a grand scale. In Daydreams and Nightmares, however, historian Brent Tarter shares the story of one Virginia family who found themselves in the middle of the secession debate and saw their world torn apart as the states chose sides and went to war. George Berlin was elected to serve as a delegate to the Virginia Convention of 1861 as an opponent of secession, but he ultimately changed his vote. Later, when defending his decision in a speech in his hometown of Buckhannon, Upshur County, he had to flee for his safety as Union soldiers arrived. Berlin and his wife, Susan Holt Berlin, were separated for extended periods--both during the convention and, later, during the early years of the Civil War. The letters they exchanged tell a harrowing story of uncertainty and bring to life for the modern reader an extended family that encompassed both Confederate and Union sympathizers. This is in part a love story. It is also a story about ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. Although unique in its vividly evoked details, the Berlins’ story is representative of the drama endured by millions of Americans. Composed during the nightmare of civil war, the Berlins’ remarkably articulate letters express the dreams of reunion and a secure future felt throughout the entire, severed nation. In this intimate, evocative, and often heartbreaking family story, we see up close the personal costs of our larger national history. A Nation Divided: Studies in the Civil War

Nightmares and Daydreams is a love story: it is also a life story, proving that life, as a child is not always what we hope it should be. Two kids meet and magic happens--but is it magical enough to soothe their battered souls? What if your thirteen-year old friend had his legs blown off from a discharged bazooka shell? You, an eleven-year-old boy sustained life-threatening injuries as well? What if that disaster happened in the basement of your very own home? Not on the battlefield during World War II, nor in a war at all! In 1947 the tradegy flooded the airways and made the headlines in all of the Los Angeles newspapers. What if your grandmother molested you in her cellar when you were just eight years old? You, a very private little girl kept it a secret. No one else knew: No one else will know until now. The boy and the girl, who experienced those nightmares, explore the frightening incidents and delve deeply into their young, unusual lifestyles. So opposite of one another, so hurt in different ways. Both children on their own emotional roller coasters. Now, in Nightmares and Daydreams, Jeannine explores the secrets of their confused and stressful childhoods. But it was not all sorrow for the two, and she shares some of their favorite side-splitting stories of their screwy teen times, madcap memories, and far-out antics they pulled off during their never dull fifty-seven years of marriage.

"The same dreadful nightmare rehearsed almost every night, over and over again; that's what awaited me every time I attempted to sleep. The blood coming out of my brother, Travis' mouth; his lifeless body lying on the cold, hard concrete was just the beginning of what haunted my night's rest. All I can hear is my mother screaming and crying, as I watch her trembling in the black night air. Police car sirens wailing, crowds forming on the sidewalk, gawking at my family's tragedy, so publicly displayed. I search the crowd feverishly looking for the guilty face but I can't find it. I feel the rage building inside as I choke back tears. I refuse to give the murderous coward the pleasure of seeing me cry, of seeing my despair. Revenge, murder, death, kill, retribution, these are the words yelling inside my head! But, who was responsible for this hideous crime? Who was responsible for my sleepless nights? Who killed my brother?!! Who? Questions I can't silence, answers I can't find." Nightmares & Daydreams is a fiction novel that takes us on a journey that is life changing. Darius Bowman is a fourteen year old boy who has had one of the worst experiences a child can have, the loss of a sibling. In his despair he is searching for hope while trying to quiet the voice in his head that says revenge is the best option. His love of music is the only thing that seems to calm the rage inside of him. The twist and turns along this tale will see more tragedy but will Darius be one of them? Find out what happens when Darius collides with destiny.
