Whispers From the Grave
DIV"Unique . . . Original . . . I was fascinated." --Lois Duncan, author of Stranger with My Face The similarities between Jenna and Rita were uncanny. They looked and acted exactly alike. Each was experiencing the thrill of first love. Each was empowered with a gift of the supernatural. And each harbored dark secrets. Jenna and Rita could have been sisters. Except for one thing . . . Rita was murdered over a century ago./divDIV /divOut of the yellowed pages of her diary, Rita’s frightening legacy is reborn. But the more Jenna reads of Rita’s spellbinding past—of murder, deception, and sinister experiments—the more she fears her own future. Because Rita’s history is repeating itself, moment by horrifying moment. And Jenna has to live it.

Songs of the Fluteplayer
In Songs of the Fluteplayer, the charm and challenge of the spectacularly beautiful American Southwest are irresistibly captured by a woman who risked much to discover a new life and greater meaning there. Sharman Apt Russell and her husband moved to the Mimbres Valley in southwestern New Mexico in order to lead a simpler yet more substantial life. Their efforts to be self-sufficient-building an adobe house, giving birth at home, growing their own food-shattered many ideals and forced compromises but also renewed their ties to each other and kindled their respect for the land and its people. The American Southwest that Russell fell in love with comes to life vividly in her writing. From Navajo weavers to illegal Mexican workers, trading posts to prehistoric pottery, water rights disputes to the omnipresent fluteplayer Kokopelli-the energy and wonder of the Southwest is celebrated in this enchanting book. ø
