'Rising of the Tide' Summary
"Rising of the Tide" tells the story of Sabinsport, a small Midwestern town in the United States, during the outbreak of World War I in 1914. The narrative unfolds through the experiences of a diverse group of individuals whose lives are intertwined with the town's fabric. We see how the war affects their families, their livelihoods, and their relationships, exposing the ripple effects of global conflict on a local scale. The story showcases how the coming of the Great War transforms the town, its people, and the bonds that hold them together. There's a shift in the social landscape as individuals grapple with the uncertainties and anxieties of wartime, encountering challenges and opportunities that alter their paths in profound ways. Through their stories, Tarbell offers a glimpse into the complexities of human resilience, adaptation, and the ways in which communities navigate unprecedented challenges.Book Details
