Through a remarkable blend of intellectual history, philosophical reading, and contemporary cultural analysis, Fruits of Sorrow explores the hidden dynamics at work when we try to make sense of suffering. Spelman examines the complex ways in which we try to redeem the pain we cause and witness. She also shows the way our responses are often more than they seem: how compassion can mask condescension; how identifying with others' pain often slips into illicit appropriation; how pity can reinforce the unequal relationship between those who cause and those who endure suffering.
An Enduring Passion This is a historical love story set in the early 1800's (1830-1840). It is about the love between two of my ancestors, my fourth great-grandfather and great-grandmother. Their names are Woodard Foutch and Morning Nantanoah. They meet, fall in love, and develop a passionate and enduring relationship which carries them together through hardships of various kinds. Woodard's heritage is from his paternal and maternal ancestors who came to the United States from Germany (Prussia). The original German surname is Pfautz. From there the English version became Fouts, Foutch, and Fouch. Morning Nantanoah is a Cherokee woman from the far western part of Virginia. Morning's name in Cherokee is Awendela. I have chosen to use her Cherokee name, instead of the translated name in English, throughout this work. Awendela is a young woman of nineteen at the beginning of the story and she lives with her parents. Woodard is a white man of European descent. His ethnic heritage is Czechoslovakian, not German, even though his family emigrated to the United States from Germany (Prussia). Woodard works as a scout for the U. S. army. His outpost is a day's journey from the Cherokee village where Awendela lives. He is twenty and Awendela is nineteen when they meet at Glistening Creek under tenuous circumstances in the opening scene in the text. These are real people but I have built around them a story which is fiction. I have endeavored to do my research and make my information as factual as possible. This includes everything from genealogical records to verifying which plants and flowers are native to Virginia. So, the people who are in my lineage and the timeline reflect actual people and dates in so far as possible. The environment around the far western part of Virginia is also described as factually as possible. Cherokee names, customs, heritage, and life style are also the basis of my descriptions concerning these things. The story has hooks into the Trail of Tears, the tragic relocation of the Cherokee to west of the Mississippi into Tahlequah, Oklahoma. This work of fiction involves real major historical events as the backdrop for this story. The story includes the courtship of Awendela by Woodard, their marriage, and the first five of their seven children: James, Didama, Nancy, Alexander, and Andrew. The last child in the story, Andrew, is in my lineage and is my third great-grandfather on my father's side of the family tree. The story ends in 1840 with the birth of Andrew Foutch. An epilogue has been included at the end of the story to describe what transpired in terms of genealogical information and the fictional story around these real people. The description of these ancestors of mine attempts to account for where people were born and the life events surrounding those circumstances and other adventures. I hope you do enjoy this novel. It has been crafted with enthusiasm and love for family.
