Book excerpt: Harrisburg Kentucky has always been a strange place. At night scarecrows walk the fields, and at times ghost lights cover the streets. The locals have gotten used to it, dismissed it as a part of the charm of small-town life. But when Henry Szelmer and his family find themselves stalked by a grim presence in the woods that peaceful facade is torn asunder. In the days that follow the mysteries in Harrisburg begin to deepen; a presence out of local folklore proves all too real, a strange out of towner arrives and begins asking uncomfortable questions, and Henry quickly learns that his own mind can't be trusted to guide him toward the truth of the town he thought he knew. The more they uncover, one certainty remains: when all is said and done, the Szelmer family, and Harrisburg as a whole will never be the same.

Download or read book Angel Thieves written by Kathi Appelt and published by Atheneum/Caitlyn Dlouhy Books. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ocelot. A slave. An angel thief. Multiple perspectives spanning across time are united through themes of freedom, hope, and faith in a most unusual and epic novel from Newbery Honor–winning author and National Book Award finalist Kathi Appelt. Sixteen-year-old Cade Curtis is an angel thief. After his mother’s family rejected him for being born out of wedlock, he and his dad moved to the apartment above a local antique shop. The only payment the owner Mrs. Walker requests: marble angels, stolen from graveyards, for her to sell for thousands of dollars to collectors. But there’s one angel that would be the last they’d ever need to steal; an angel, carved by a slave, with one hand open and one hand closed. If only Cade could find it… Zorra, a young ocelot, watches the bayou rush past her yearningly. The poacher who captured and caged her has long since lost her, and Zorra is getting hungrier and thirstier by the day. Trapped, she only has the sounds of the bayou for comfort—but it tells her help will come soon. Before Zorra, Achsah, a slave, watched the very same bayou with her two young daughters. After the death of her master, Achsah is free, but she’ll be damned if her daughters aren’t freed with her. All they need to do is find the church with an angel with one hand open and one hand closed… In a masterful feat, National Book Award Honoree Kathi Appelt weaves together stories across time, connected by the bayou, an angel, and the universal desire to be free.

Download or read book Schlussel s Woman written by John Lindermuth and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in the 19th Century, expanding markets for Pennsylvania's anthracite coal created a smaller scale prelude to the later California gold rush. It was an era as wild as any the West ever knew--yet it has been rarely depicted in history. A native of the Coal Region and avid student of its history, the author has attempted to provide an accurate sense of this particular time and place in a story probing the cost of unrestrained ambition. Many of those who flocked to the region were ambitiously ruthless in pursuit of this "black gold." Captain Isaac Schlussel is typical of the breed, though he approaches his goal of wealth by supplying the blasting powder needed to develop deep mining rather than by grubbing in the earth. Then, Schlussel is felled by an assassin's bullet. His greed has provided a multitude of suspects who are introduced in chapters which flash back and forth in time to reveal his history and his obsession with the beautiful woman who is both his wife and the unintentional source of his downfall.
