Hit: Survivor titles

[Rosanne Zajko <rmz@ADELPHIA.NET>]

Hi all,

Many thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions for "literary
survivors".

Thanks also to Margaret Hall who supplied the following definiton of
survivor themes:

From Tales of Love and Terror:  Booktalking the Classics Old and New.  Hazel
Rochman defines survival fairly broadly:  ""The theme survival encompasses
many kinds of struggle, from wilderness adventure and escape from slavery,
to family conflict and teenage suicide."  These are the books she
recommends.

London, Jack.  "Love of Life"
Speare, Elizabeth.  The Sign of the Beaver
Burnford, Sheila.  The Incredible Journey
Highwater, Jamake.  Ceremony of Innocence
Brooks, Bruce.  The Moves Make the Man
Peck, Richard.  Remembering the Good Times
Tevis, Walter.  The Queen's Gambit
Oneal, Zibby.  In Summer Light
