Across The Creek

Life only gives you one first kiss. And when Jesse Malone kissed Sarah Ramsey, he thought his life would change, but not in the way that it did. An unlikely childhood romance between a poor boy and a wealthy girl began the day Jesse decided to do the impossible and cross the creek. A love was born, one that would become their shelter, protecting them from the storms of their lives, until the day Jesse witnessed his mother's murder, forcing him to leave his childhood home...and first love. Ten years later, life has finally gotten better for Jesse. He has a loving family, a charming pet shop to run, and one semester left before graduating with a degree in architecture. Everything is great, until the day fate intervenes and his long-lost love walks into his shop and back into his life. Sarah, engaged to a budding attorney, is struggling to keep everything together. Her father, diagnosed with terminal cancer, is running out of time. Sarah races to build their dream business while planning her wedding in time for her father to walk her down the aisle. Their brief encounter starts a series of events that neither Jesse nor Sarah expects. After a decade of running, Jesse is now forced to face the demons from his past, while Sarah has to choose between her handsome attorney and her first love. Just when they think love has given them a second chance, Jesse is faced with an impossible decision, one that will change their lives forever.

'Cross Creek' is an autobiographical account of the author's relationships with her neighbors and her beloved Florida hammocks. The book's author happens to be Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1939 for her work The Yearling. Her experiences living in Cross Creek serves as the inspiration for said work, and in this publication we get to see exactly the wondrous experiences that Rawlings had living there as a member of the community.

Across the Creek tells the stories of the more than 230 people who died during the 119 years of black powder manufacturing in the DuPont powder mills in Northern Delaware. Almost 300 explosions ripped through the quiet worker's communities during the 19th and early 20th centuries.Among the stories: one man toiled for fifty-five years making powder; another loss was the son of a wealthy and well known civic leader. One woman lost her father and her husband in two explosions. Another lost her husband and a son in the same blast. Several mothers gave birth to children after their father was killed in an explosion. A war hero came home from Europe only to die in a powder explosion. The stories are chilling, sad, heart-breaking, and ironic. The book was written to honor those who gave their lives during the beginning years of what would become one of the world's best known, often reviled, inventive and successful companies. Anyone who loves history and wants to learn more about the forgotten 'little guys' (and gals) who built this country will want to read this book, written by a guide at the Hagley Museum and Library, which highlights the DuPont black powder manufacturing story of America's first years. Across the Creek is the powdermen's own phrase; when one was killed in an explosion, they said he 'went across the creek.'
