Blair McCartney’s goal of becoming a fashion designer took a detour after an unplanned pregnancy. Eight years later, she finds herself raising her son, Jake, in Brenner Falls and working in a clothing factory. Though she adores Jake, it’s a far cry from the life she dreamed of. Cooper Dawson, a contractor, still grieves the loss of his brother. He wraps up a housing project, then returns to Brenner Falls with his dog, Zipper. There, he wants to build his own dream house. In the meantime, he moves in next door to Blair and Jake. What begins as a friendship blossoms into something deeper. Blair’s rundown rental house presents its own challenges. Then, the sudden reappearance of Jake’s biological father throws their lives—and budding romance—into turmoil, triggering old hurts, and testing the limits of faith and love.
The Color of the Law
On February 25, 1946, African Americans in Columbia, Tennessee, averted the lynching of James Stephenson, a nineteen-year-old, black Navy veteran accused of attacking a white radio repairman at a local department store. That night, after Stephenson was safely out of town, four of Columbia's police officers were shot and wounded when they tried to enter the town's black business district.

The Memory of Colonialism in Britain and France
This book explores national attitudes to remembering colonialism in Britain and France. By comparing these two former colonial powers, the author tells two distinct stories about coming to terms with the legacies of colonialism, the role of silence and the breaking thereof. Examining memory through the stories of people who incited public conversation on colonialism: activists; politicians; journalists; and professional historians, this book argues that these actors mobilised the colonial past to make sense of national identity, race and belonging in the present. In focusing on memory as an ongoing, politicised public debate, the book examines the afterlife of colonial history as an element of political and social discourse that depends on actors’ goals and priorities. A thought-provoking and powerful read that explores the divisive legacies of colonialism through oral history, this book will appeal to those researching imperialism, collective memory and cultural identity.
In the Space of Theory
How is the meaning of the hyphen in “nation-state” changing in the context of globalization and proliferating political struggles? How can we investigate the transformation of the nation-state by marking the normally unmarked hyphen in “geo-graphy”? Debunking deterritorialization both as a discourse and as an antiessentialist abstraction, Matthew Sparke offers answers to these questions by examining the contemporary geographies of the United States and Canada. In the Space of Theory details the territorial implications of the Iraq war, NAFTA, welfare reform, constitutional reform, cross-border regional development, and the legal battles of First Nations. In using antiessentialist arg...
