In The Beauty Of The Lilies - 1st Edition/1st Printing
John Updike's 17th novel is the absorbing saga of four generations of Wilmots, whose lives and occupations span huge portions of 20th-century America, running the gamut from preacher to encyclopedia salesman to movie star. The Wilmots' religious impulses take various forms: Clarence Wilmot is a traditional Presbyterian minister whose faith deserts him; his son, Teddy, is an atheist; his daughter, Essie, is a New Ager; and Essie's son is a Branch Davidian-style fanatic. Updike's lyrical exploration of the lives of middle-class Americans--achieved here with his usual grace and wit--is also a searching look at the place of religion in American life.

DEAR SENATOR A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond
America was astonished when it learned that Strom Thurmond, the distinguished Senator from South Carolina--and staunch segregationist--had a mixed-race daughter whose existence he kept secret from the world for decades. In this memoir, Essie Mae Washington-Williams tells of how she learned that her father was the famous senator and her mother, Carrie Butler, had been a maid on the Thurmond estate while a teenager. Born in 1925, Essie May had been raised by her aunt and uncle, and only learned the truth in her teen years. Thurmond helped support Essie May, and he met with her on occasion, but he never acknowledged her publicly. Washington-Williams writes about their relationship, which she also kept secret, and also about what it was like to grow up in the South. Her stories, powerful in themselves, have even greater resonance because of her personal history.
