"A Land Remembered is hands down the best book I have ever read! I passed my copy along to my 3 siblings, my mom, and my grandfather. We all agree that this book can never be topped! As a true Floridian, I feel so much pride in my state and it's history. Patrick Smith is my all-time favorite author and I just wish that I could tell him how incredibly honored I feel to have his book sitting on my shelf at home, having been read by my entire family.

Dear Mr. Patrick D. Smith,
As both a fan of all your books and a middle school Language Arts teacher, I have taught A Land Remembered for the past seven years. This year, I’ve had my sixth grade Literature class at Rosarian Academy, 807 North Flagler Drive, West Palm Beach read and journal this amazing book. In short…they have been captivated! When we complete the actual reading next week, they will begin a several week project of creating 24”X24” dioramas, depicting some aspect of the book. In support of this diorama, they (teams of four students) will also writing a narrative explaining the who, what, when, where, and why of their particular project. On Monday, May 21st, the students in each of the three sixth grade classes will use their class periods as an open house for parents, relatives, and friends. Clad in appropriate period dress which also connects to their dioramas, they will present their narratives, then answer questions about their projects and the book in general.
Thanks for all you have done for our kids and our state. God bless.
Sincerely,
Peter Cohane

"My wife and enjoyed A Land Remenbered so much that we bought copies and gave them as gifts. It is truly the best book I've ever read. My family has lived in Florida since before the Civil War. My Great Great Grandfather was in the Florida Cow Calvary. After reading A Land Remembered twice, we listened to it on tape as we traveled. You cannot drive I75 north and cross Paynes Prarie without thinking of Tobias and Emma. Thanks!!"

 The Beginning
The Beginning was written in the 1960s at the height of the Civil Rights movement, and its publication in 1967 brought varied reactions. As a whole, the novel was favorably received, but not without its share of controversy. There were those who agreed that the novel was an accurate reflection of the times, and there were those who objected to the way certain levels of society - both black and white - were portrayed. It would have been impossible back then to write a novel about race relations in the South without taking shots from someone.
Much has changed in the South and the nation since those turbulent times, particularly at this point in the United States' history. Perhaps enough time has now passed so that readers can view The Beginning as what it was intended to be: a look into a changing South where even issues of relations between races were not simply black and white but as complex as the motivations within the human heart.
Customers have repeatedly asked for it, and have paid premium prices of over $100 for used copies on eBay and other such sites. Now we are happy to make it available in paperback.
Normally $16.95- Save $5.00 - $14.95
