The Smell of the Soil
Stories bring people to life, even the dead. They paint an indelible history. It's commendable to have an orderly and complete genealogy. It is the official family record, but it's only the bare bones. Stories put flesh on these people. "The Smell of the Soil" is both a montage of my stories (including a revealing account of why I danced naked in front of my mother) and an earnest plea that you write your family stories. My sincere hope is that my stories will jog memories of your stories. "Stories are for joining the past to the future," says author Tim O'Brien. "Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories a...
Jesus: The Untold Years
Thousands have written about Jesus Christ, the best-known figure in history. Aside from the New Testament words recorded by the people who knew him, his life is a mystery. Theologians and scholars of multiple disciplines have given us learned insight. Speculators have him married, traveling to Gaul and China and one casts him as a Japanese rice farmer. What about his boyhood years, the trials of a teenager, education, a boy mourning the death of his grandparents and later suffering the loss of his earthly father? How do you run a carpentry business? What about the challenges of a young human Jesus growing into his divinity? "Jesus: The Untold Story" suggests some answers. Simon Peter is the ...

Graves' Retreat
Spur Award-Winning Author ED GORMAN TROUBLE IN STORE Cedar Rapids in 1884 was a place where Les Graves had a chance to finally earn the respectability he always wanted and to marry the woman he loved. Then his brother T.Z. came into town, bringing with him trouble with a capital T. It seemed that T.Z. and his friend Neely had big plans for the local bank where Graves happened to work. And they were counting on Graves' help to pull off the heist. All Graves got in return for his loyalty was a hard cot in a drafty cell—until a rivalry between two local sheriffs gave him one shot at freedom. But—before Graves could return to his peaceful life, and the pursuit of the woman of his dreams, there were a few more twists in the trail…with trouble around each bend. "A master storyteller." —Dallas Morning News "A new western novel by Gorman is a treat worth waiting for." —Roundup

When a Dream Dies
Tucked into the files of Iowa State University’s Cooperative Extension Service is a small, innocuous looking pamphlet with the title Lenders: Working through the Farmer-Lender Crisis. The Cooperative Extension Service intended this publication to improve bankers’ empathy and communication skills, especially when facing farmers showing “Suicide Warning Signs.” After all, they were working with individuals experiencing extreme economic distress, and each banker needed to learn to “be a good listener.” What was important, too, was what was left unsaid. Iowa State published this pamphlet in April of 1986. Just four months earlier, farmer Dale Burr of Lone Tree, Iowa, had killed his w...
