In A Delta Vigil, Claire Feild's sensitive and observant essays capture the bittersweet memories of growing up in Yazoo City, Mississippi, during the 1950s and 60s. She depicts a way of life that seemed tranquil and destined to continue, but this was an illusion because fault lines in the social order were appearing and things were about to change. This book excels both as an appealing memoir and as an authentic representation of family life, race, religion, and the societal expectations placed on refined young women during those times.

The Unity Project is a vast scientific experiment - the correction for past historical errors, or the ultimate weapon. When "time fractures" occur, they are analyzed by gifted intuitives because logic, as we know it, has limitations in a universe that may have different laws of physics and different rules than our own. And even with so much at stake, we are still driven by primitive instincts like aggression. The ultimate decision for the future of humanity will be made by two former colleagues on opposite sides of the world. And no one will know.

The title, A Fine Ride, was inspired by Pat Cobb's youngest grandchild, Kyle, when he was about eight years old. Having been told not to ride a second-hand bicycle down a hill until he got used to it on level ground, he, of course, just had to try the hill and ended up “wiping out” about a third of the way down. When his dad rushed to see if he was okay, Kyle brushed himself off saying, “I didn’t do so good, Dad, but it was a fine ride while it lasted!” Seeing this as a metaphor for her life Cobb set out to share "a few stories about family and friends" and wound up with a sort-of memoir which includes both family history and some interesting reflections on her own "fine ride."
