Death of a Cigarette: A Story of Survival, Memory, and Legacy by Timothy Webber and Milo Grey - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
International Impact Award Winner for Historical Fiction An Indie Texas / BiblioBoard Selection
On D-Day, a Lucky Strike named Chance rides in a GI’s pack, witnessing landing, loss, and the long echo of silence, showing that sometimes the bravest act is never to burn.
On June 6, 1944, a Missouri farm boy lands at Omaha Beach with a ration box on his chest and a single Lucky Strike inside. That cigarette survives the landing, the long march through Europe, and the silence that follows the war home.
Told through the eyes of an unlit cigarette, Death of a Cigarette is a story of courage in many forms: the spark that burns bright, the voice that steadies, and the choice to endure without flame. From the tobacco fields of Virginia to the Stars and Stripes National Museum in Missouri, Chance bears witness to memory, sacrifice, and the legacy passed quietly through generations.
Lyrical and haunting, this novella reminds us that sometimes the bravest act is not to burn at all.

Death of a Cigarette (Paperback)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: CitiRetail, Stevenage, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: new. Pulley, Scotty W Ilustrador. Paperback. Death of a Cigarette opens in the Stars and Stripes National Museum, where the last tour of the day is about to begin. Chance begins the story at the very end of the opening. The history as narrated by Chance, begins in a Virginia tobacco field. He introduces his kin, Eva Mae and Ella Mae, who are seen as his mother. Then Chance moves on to his birth at the factory along with his pack(Sally, Winston, Marley.) They find their voices as they cure, are milled, and are wrapped by Henri, a dignified French paper. The pack crosses the Atlantic to England, where camp life, letters home, and the hum of preparation usher the men toward Embarkation. On the Channel, tracer arcs stitch the night. At Omaha, the ramp drops; Sally burns bright; Winston rides unlit in Philip's hand offering a benediction ("You're already burning"). Chance remains in the package talisman.The beach crossing narrows to inches and breaths. Shrapnel, wire gaps, and crater rooms define survival. Post-landing, the narrative widens into hedgerows and the emotional aftercare: a private's harmonica, a shared apple, unsent letters, and the "holy pocket" where Chance and a letter to Philip's mother ride together. The war ends, but silence follows Philip to Missouri, good days, triggers, and the drawer that opens gently.In 1961, at the Stars and Stripes centennial in Bloomfield, Philip reunites with Terry. He donates his uniform and Chance. A placard provides quiet context; the cigarette becomes an artifact. In the epilogue, decades later, Philip's grandson Chris encounters the display, recognition folds private grief into public remembrance. The circle closes without combustion, without flame. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9798350755077
