DESCRIPTION:Mark Sullivan's Beneath a Scarlet Sky is a coming-of-age historical novel that follows Pino Lella\, a 17-year-old Milanese boy\, as he navigates the dangers of Nazi-occupied Italy during the height of the Nazi occupation of Italy during World War II.  \nBased on Lello's recollections more than 50 years later\, the novel follows his efforts to help Jews flee the Nazis\, and his spy activities after his parents force him to join the German Army.  \nHistorical Fiction\, 509 pages in Paperback.  \nMark T. Sullivan (b. 1958) is an author of thrillers. Born in a Boston suburb\, he joined the Peace Corp after college\, traveling to West Africa to live with a tribe of Saharan nomads.

In 1995 he published Hard News\, a thriller based on his work as a reporter\, and he released The Purification Ceremony (1997)\, which won the WH Smith Award for Best New Talent. Sullivan published Ghost Dance\, (1999)\, Labyrinth\, (2002)\, Triple Cross\, (2009)\, Private Games (2012)\, which he co-authored with James Patterson\, Beneath a Scarlet Sky\, (2017)\, and The Last Green Valley\, (2021)\,   \nSullivan lives with his family in Montana\, where he skis\, hunts\, and practices martial arts.  \n \nOctober Book Club: Beneath a Scarlet Sky Update Text

SUMMARY:Historic Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes
DESCRIPTION:Join Poolesville Seniors virtually on October 19th @7pm for the next Historic Ag Reserve Properties presentation with local historian Kenny Sholes. \nIn 1933\, as part of the New Deal\, the National Park Service launched the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). "Guided by field instructions from Washington\, D.C.\, the first HABS recorders were tasked with documenting a representative sampling of America's architectural heritage." Luckily for us\, many of the historic Ag Reserve homes were documented. In most cases\, these are the oldest pictures we have of these structures. Join Kenny Sholes as we explore some of these amazing structures. \nIn this monthly series\, Kenny introduces some of the incredible historic homes in the Agricultural Reserve\, using the history of the homes to better understand the people whose land we have inherited and how their dreams\, goals\, and struggles were not all that different from ours today.   \nKenny Sholes was born and raised in Poolesville\, in the heart of the Agricultural Reserve. After graduating from West Point in 2006\, Kenny served as a US Army officer for five years\, to include two deployments to Iraq. Kenny is the creator of Foundry Admissions Strategies\, a small consultancy focused on helping high school students in rural America gain admission to our country's best colleges. Now living in Poolesville with his wife and two children\, Kenny is busy exploring Agricultural Reserve history and serves as a board member for the Montgomery Countryside Alliance. Kenny has an undergraduate degree in Economics from the US Military Academy at West Point\, and a Master's degree in Public Policy from Princeton University.   \n  \n \nHistoric Ag Reserve Properties with Kenny Sholes
