Kurzbeschreibung
The book, CALVERT, REMEMBER ME, is a novel about two young attractive high school teachers who do not find teaching to be a burdensome daily chore that supports their pleasant lifestyle, but creative information to their subject matter to awaken curiosity, trigger or stimulate other interests for their students, and maybe they like the opportunity to pass on suggestions about appropriate careers for some and would be delighted to feel they might be a role model for some others. They have learned viable techniques to use in their teaching that tend to increase self esteem in their students and a liking for learning interesting information, particularly for enhancing their background. They are willing to spend some of their time after school hours helping students with problems but not labeling them as such. Their cheerful manner along with their good looks and fine taste in manners, grooming, and dress make many of the young people more interested in seeking education as a career. They show by budgeting, saving and good planning how they can afford a somewhat expensive vacation. Leave it to these two erudite experts to pack as much engaging action as possible in a three-week vacation that includes a voyage on the Queen Elizabeth 2 to England and then visiting Paris, London, and the English countryside. Before they start the three-week vacation, unexpected things begin to happen that could change their lives when they decided to move to the farm that one of the teachers surprisingly inherited. The story holds suspense, romance, adventure, and pleasure and appreciation for Southern Maryland living. The author has blended persons and events to produce a timely novel with interesting occurrences and memorable characters. All came back to the little peninsula, liked by the author since childhood, to try to save the last vestiges of a place called "home."

The Past No More
27. März 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Those readers who liked Calvert Gold, also by Phyllis S Johnson, will love Calvert, Remember Me. While Calvert Gold is nonfiction - a description of the bucolic, sometimes hard, and fast disappearing life on a tobacco farm in southern Maryland during the depression, Ms. Johnson's new book is a fictional treatment of the introduction of this still charming life style to two young ladies who have inherited property in this area. As they come to delight in their new home and its traditions, they also become aware of a new threat to this region and lifestyle - not the destruction of virgin woodlands and rich farmlands by greedy developers to clear the way for McMansions already taking place at an alarming rate - but the installation of gas mains and stations that are pushed by big business and insensitive government officials even though they present a great danger for people as well as property. The life of the two young ladies as conscientious school teachers with a deep commitment to their students is very realistically portrayed as Ms. Johnson comes from a long line of school teachers herself and knows whereof she speaks. While the book reveals a touching nostalgia for the past, it points out the dangers of the present to this beautiful county. The ending of the book is dramatic and all does not end well - but the memory of a wonderful and charming lifestyle remains.
Calvert, Remeber Me

Format:Taschenbuch
CALVERT, REMEMBER ME, a new novel by Phyllis S. Johnson, has the kind of narrative and characters for a refreshing movie that will hold everyone's attention from the beginning to the very end. Most of the story takes place in Southern Maryland where the lifestyle can be contagious. The main characters are a very likable pair of erudite, vivacious young teachers and the action never dulls as they experience adventure that is both planned and surprising. Such a movie could be a delightful change from murder dramas and never ending war stories that seem to monopolize TV and movie theater screens.
