...is one of the most remarkable and beautifully written books published in the past year and yet it remains relatively unknown.  Those who have read it unanimously agree - they absolutely love this book!  [Please see the reviews listed below.]

In Honor in Concord, Cathryn McIntyre presents a weave of fiction and fact that draws the reader in and doesn’t let go.  It is the story of her own life as a writer with a “psychic sensibility” who is living in a historic home in Concord, Massachusetts.  She sets out to record the images of 19th century Concord that are always on her mind and what results is a fictional story in which the writers of Concord’s literary past, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Margaret Fuller and Amos Bronson Alcott, are living there again in present day.  The vignettes that she uses to link the present to the past are exceptional and the information she provides about the lives of these writers and of the literary history of Concord is well researched and factual.  She moves with ease from the present to the past and between the story of her own life and that of the fictional characters.  Her own story is that of a woman struggling to come to terms with her own spiritual awareness and psychic abilities and who finds the spiritual truth she’s been seeking in the words of the transcendentalist writers of Concord.  The fictional story involves a group of Concord residents whose lives intersect as they struggle, much as they did in past lives, between their need for freedom and self-determination and the responsibility they feel toward the commitments they have made. 

Honor in Concord offers a positive, inspiring and life-affirming message that speaks to the soul within all of us and asks us to consider what it is we value most in our lives.  It is a story that reminds us of the reality of spirit and of what Emerson called the infinitude of the soul.

ATTN:  INSTRUCTORS AND STUDENTS:  Honor in Concord provides a wonderful introduction to the writers of 19th century Concord and to the basic principles of their transcendental beliefs.  It would be a great book to use in a classroom discussion or as a subject for a required book report.
