With emotional depth and historical rigor, Buchanan invites readers into a living archive of grit, grace, and generational legacy.Perfect for readers of regional history, labor memoirs, and tribute storytelling, Borrowed Ground is a heartfelt homage to the people who made borrowed land their own.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Some plots are borrowed. Some histories refuse to stay buried.At forty-three, Nora Gallagher arrives in a small Hudson Valley town with two suitcases, a temporary cottage, and no clear plan for what comes next. She expects quiet. Instead, she is assigned a neglected plot in the community garden-and steps into a story that began long before she arrived.A faded red-handled trowel stands in the soil as if someone meant to return. A rusted tin box holds traces of another gardener's life. In the library archives, ordinary records reveal how much the town has forgotten-or chosen not to remember. And as development threatens the ground generations have tended, longtime residents and newcomers clash over who belongs and who gets to decide the town's future.Following a trail through garden rows, council meetings, old photographs, and kitchen-table conversations, Nora begins to understand that the mystery is not only what the ground keeps. It is whether a person can start over without erasing what came before.The Borrowed Plot is a warm, atmospheric, character-driven novel about midlife reinvention, women's friendship, community secrets, and the patient work of belonging. A quietly compelling read for anyone who loves literary women's fiction, small-town settings, and mysteries rooted in memory rather than violence.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. September, 1944. The amtrac smells like exhaust and the Pacific and the breakfast Kowalski lost somewhere past the reef. Elias Crow Feather keeps his eyes on the ramp. He has been raised to trust ground. This ground has no interest in being trusted. Elias is a Lakota Marine scout-sniper from Standing Rock, North Dakota - a man who learned to read land before he learned to read paper. At Peleliu and then Iwo Jima, that knowledge keeps him alive: finding water in limestone cracks by watching where insects gather, reading the geometry of Japanese cave positions the way his grandfather once read the geometry of a dry creek bed in August. But the grandfather is dead. And the forty-four acres along the draw - land his great-grandfather touched the deed on in 1888, land under dispute by a surveyor's line and a government letter - are still in question back on Standing Rock. Still waiting. Borrowed Ground moves between two wars fought on the same contested logic: the war on Peleliu and Iwo Jima, and the quieter war over land, language, and what a document can claim to mean. Elias carries both. His squad sergeant, Raymond "Deke" Dekker, is thirty-one and built like the Youngstown mill that made his father. His corpsman, Tomas Reyes, is twenty years old, from Boyle Heights, East Los Angeles, and carries two medical kits when regulations say one. Between the coral ridges and the volcanic ash, these three men become something the war did not plan for them to become. The homecoming chapter is not a triumph. It is a Tuesday in autumn, the gumbo mud drying on the road from McLaughlin, Agnes at the filling station in her wool scarf. And then the work: the forms, the coffee tin, the deed, the nine acres still in question. For readers of The Things They Carried, Matterhorn, and News of the World - a novel about what ground costs and what it holds, long after the fighting stops. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Borrowed Ground is JLM Morton's second full collection, a reckoning with land, climate grief, and the entanglement of human and more-than-human life. Rooted in the woodland and river country of the west of England, the poems move between close observation and myth: a central creation sequence follows a black pine through litany and shaped, fragmenting text, while a closing sequence stages the drowning and mythic rebirth of Sabrina, goddess of the Severn. Morton works through erasure, found material, and liturgical forms without losing lyric precision, holding ecological dread against humour, domestic comfort, and ancient, feminist modes of knowing.
