The Shame of John Slade
Nothing can rival the relationship between a father and his daughter. There are also dads like John Slade . . .
The Reputation of Booya Carthy
In Honahee, a small Mississippi town where trouble brews quicker than bootleg whisky, all that Calvin 'Booya' Carthy wants to do is play the blues. Innocent to the ways of the world, he immerses himself into the cut-throat local scene, where even the smallest disagreements are settled with bloodshed. Playing outside the local store by day, and in the barrelhouse at night, his popularity soon spreads beyond the county borders. The Great Depression has hit America. Violent racial hatred remains rife. Musicians are being targeted. When Calvin attracts the attention of a demanding white lady, wife of a racist bootlegger with sympathisers in the long and corrupt arm of The Law, he can no longer seek protection within the crowds who covet his music. With a threat even greater than The Law descending upon Honahee, Calvin must decide how much he would sacrifice for his reputation, even as danger follows him ever closer to those he loves most. Where is there to hide when everyone knows your name?
"Death Seem'd to Stare"
Death Seem'd to Stare marks Joseph Lee Boyle's third book honoring the identities of the heroes of the six-month encampment at Valley Forge in 1777-1778.

For their part, the Rhode ...
The Offshore Triumphs of Karla Jean
After twenty-six years working on offshore oil rigs for Big Coast Drilling, forty-six-year-old Karla Slidell is coming home to Brinkfield, Texas, for good. As a lanky girl with a peculiar braid, she blazed a trail as a roustabout in 1980. On her final flight home, however, her helicopter crashes; now she's missing in the Gulf of Mexico. As her excited family awaits her return, they instead get word she might not be coming back. They hope Karla can cheat death once again, as she has done since her birth. Among those waiting are Joe, her house-husband and biggest fan since the seventh grade. Then there's Dangling Dooley, the Vietnam War chopper pilot who is Karla's constant source of exasperation. There's Karla's lifelong friend, Darlene, with whom she experienced every kind of escapade life has to offer. Finally, Karla's insanely religious dad, Orvin, and her vacant, mousy mom, Joy, add to the mix. These people, who form the fabric of Karla's life, hold out hope that she can be found alive and returned home to fulfill a dream that would positively impact so many lives.
