Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. River Sisters, The Receiver traces the heritage of culture and courage passed by Nancy Hilderbrand, protagonist of River Sisters, The Giver, to her great-granddaughter, Eliza McNeal. A "mere whit of rawhide," tough, independent, yet, compassionate, Eliza is one of the first female Rural Free Delivery mail carriers. Riding horseback twelve hours a day, through rugged terrain, crossing creeks, avoiding ruts and potholes that can break a horse's leg, she is responsible for postal service along the legendary Trail of Tears. Eliza is the eldest of three sisters, who face serious personal and familial challenges, as they stake their lives and fortunes on the banks of the Tennessee River-not only the ancients' Giver of life, but the Receiver of lives caught in its tumultuous currents and depths. Jan Dearman's life-long avocation has been writing fiction, especially that having roots in the history, heritage, and beauty of the Tennessee River Gorge near Chattanooga, ancestral home of her family for seven generations. Jan's great-aunt provides inspiration for the character of Eliza McNeal: A 1985 newspaper article on her life calls her "the last known living person in the Chattanooga area to have carried the U. S. mail on horseback." Living to be 100 years old, this spirited woman and those of her generation still reside, with pride and affection, in the hearts and history of their progeny, who remain along the Trail and the banks of the Tennessee.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Lost. Miserable. Lonely. Desperate for something more. That's life for teenager Nolan Sussman until an ex-convict who knows the 5 secrets to happiness returns to town. "Beware the Smart Kids is a story for teenagers.those who feel invisible, those who are hiding their pain, those who think they'll never find the answers, those who are yearning for something but don't know what. And it's a story for 'former teenagers' who are now trying to raise and love a teenager, but who have likely forgotten the hard parts of being one. Kushin's debut novel is a poignant coming-of-age story with relatable characters and a powerful message on finding happiness." - Margaret Standafer, best-selling author of I Know an Old Lady. Misfit troublemaker Nolan Sussman badly wants two things before high school ends: the attention of Gabi Meyers and the return of his runaway sister, Sarah. But when his latest prank goes awry, Nolan is nearly expelled. He's forced to spend his summer doing yardwork for Mr. Barno, a reclusive former high school teacher who spent 25 years in prison. Nolan soon finds that despite the tragic mistake that landed Mr. Barno in prison, the old man has something even more elusive than Gabi and Sarah-happiness. Now, Nolan is determined to learn how to be happy, too. It's his chance to matter. His shot at a future. But secrets in Mr. Barno's past are preventing the once-beloved educator from having the will to ever teach again. Secrets the two outcasts will have to face together. Reviews In his remarkable debut novel, Matthew Kushin explores the delicate, sometimes painful journey to understanding, kindness, and that most precious of attributes, empathy. Saddled with self-doubt and a long simmering guilt, Kushin's main character steps outside himself to understand through another's eyes what it truly means to be isolated and reviled, yet remain true to who and what he might be. This is powerful writing, immensely engaging, and distinctive in both tone and theme. It merits a place on the bookshelf of any serious reader. -Greg Fields, Through the Waters and the Wild, 2022 Winner, Independent Press Award for Literary Fiction. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Henry Gallagher is a failure. Born into a broken family, now a young alcoholic struggling with mental illness, Henry is successful at one thing: destroying his life. While spending his time and waning finances at local bars and on any woman who will show him affection, Henry reflects on his past, seeing no future than the one he believes has been preordained for him. From a funeral in Ireland, to a chance meeting with a German millionaire, to a booze-soaked and bloody version of Last Tango in Paris, Henry's life is both darkly humorous and unapologetically human. Accompanied by stories of other down and out characters fighting their way through the underbelly of society, Jack Moody's debut collection poses Henry's greatest question: Do we end up where we do purely because of the choices we've made, or are some of us simply doomed at birth to fail. …
