From the FOREWORD. THE Georgia Wonder was a national phenomenon. Lulu Hurst's teenage performances in the 1880s were written up in newspapers, scientific journals and magazines of all sorts. A slight girl, she would stand on stage and challenge men to lift her off of the ground. At one moment a large man could raise her from the stage and at the next would find himself powerless to do so. It was as if she controlled gravity. Another stunt was to stand while holding a pool cue horizontally in front of her and have a number of men push against her. They were unable to push her off her spot. Yet another stunt was to have three men sit on a chair and the apparently lift the chair and men from the ground. This autobiography, chronicles her life, culminating in an expos� of how she performed her feats. This book will interest: magicians, scientists in general, physicists in particular, feminists, those who follow the occult arts, and readers who would like to glimpse a life led by a teenage girl in the late 1800s. -Bob Friedhoffer

From New York Times bestselling author Anne Rivers Siddons comes a bittersweet and finely wrought story of friendship, family, and Charleston society. At twelve, Emily Parmenter knows alone all too well. Left mostly to herself after her beautiful young mother disappeared and her beloved older brother died, Emily is keenly aware of yearning and loss. Rather than be consumed by sadness, she has built a life around the faded plantation where her remote father and hunting-obsessed brothers raise the legendary Lowcountry Boykin hunting spaniels. It is a meager, narrow, masculine world, but to Emily it has magic: the storied deep-sea dolphins who come regularly to play in Sweetwater Creek; her extraordinary bond with the beautiful dogs she trains; her almost mystic communion with her own spaniel, Elvis; the dreaming old Lowcountry itself. Emily hides from the dreaded world here. It is enough. And then comes Lulu Foxworth, troubled daughter of a truly grand plantation, who has run away from her hectic Charleston debutante season to spend a healing summer with the quiet marshes and river, and the life-giving dogs. Where Emily's father sees their guest as an entrée to a society he thought forever out of reach, Emily is at once threatened and mystified. Lulu has a powerful enchantment of her own, and this, along with the dark, crippling secret she brings with her, will inevitably blow Emily's magical water world apart and let the real one in—but at a terrible price. Poignant and emotionally compelling, Sweetwater Creek draws you into the luminous landscape of the Lowcountry, with characters that will linger long after you've turned the last page.
