Book excerpt: Onesie Delilah is Lilah McAfees story, from her birth in 1926 in an Alabama mill town through three-quarters of a century, against the backdrop of family and community expectations in a Southland undergoing dramatic social and economic changes. Throughout her life, Lilah yearns for a loving relationship with her beautiful and selfish mother, but their fragile bonds are shattered when in the 1950s Lilah has a romantic encounter with a black man. Her actions precipitate murder, and she must deal with her sense of involvement and her suspicions regarding the killers identity, as well as with widening rifts within her family. The events of her life take her through three marriages, from poverty to wealth, from loss and loneliness to strength and self-fulfillment. Dubbed Onesie by the Negro midwife, Lilah lives up to this recognition of her birth order and prediction of predominance, for she is resoundingly a survivor.

Book excerpt: If there is one immutable feature in the social fabric of the American South, it is the telling of stories, a sense of place, traditions, family relationships, desires and hope. It has given rise to a unique blend of voices in American literature, an entire school of writing, rich and diverse, with its own peculiar imagery, grace, and eloquence. It is a place where the simple and the quaint rise from mere words on a page to a level of art. The stories in this collection echo with new voices, timeless and universal themes sure to strike a chord in the hearts of readers. Our only guideline was for our authors to contribute stories with a Mississippi theme. The diversity in styles, eras, and settings create a marvelous collection of Afternoon Tales we¿re sure you¿ll enjoy. The Gulf Coast Writers Association provides an arena for today¿s southern writers, and other writers of similar bent, to add their voices to this tradition. The Editors conceived this anthology in that spirit, encouraging new as well as established authors to share their voices. We hope this will be the first of many such collections from GCWA

Download or read book The Boy Who Killed Grant Parker written by Kat Spears and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke Grayson’s life might as well be over when he’s sent to live with his Baptist pastor father in rural Tennessee after getting kicked out of his DC private school. His soulless stepmother is none too pleased to have him, and Luke’s bad boy status has done him no favors with his new principal or the local police chief. He’s also an easy target for Grant Parker, the local golden boy with a violent streak, who has the community of Ashland under his thumb and Luke directly in his crosshairs. But things go topsy-turvy when, after a freak accident, Luke replaces Grant at the top of the social pyramid. This fish out of water has suddenly gone from social outcast to hero in a matter of twenty-four hours. For the students who have lived in fear of Grant all their lives, this is a welcome change. But Luke’s newfound fame comes with a price. Nobody knows the truth about what really happened to Grant Parker except for Luke, and the longer he keeps living the lie, the more like Grant he becomes. Kat Spears returns with this explosive coming of age story that explores not only the labels put on us by society, but the labels we put on ourselves, and the work it takes to find out who we really are underneath all the lies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Rennehan is a naïve nineteen-year-old, brought up on welfare, the victim of an abusive father. His teenaged wife dies in childbirth and he is left to care for his infant daughter, Delilah. Powerfully bonded to her from the first, he is hopelessly out of his depth, jobless and broke, but determined to raise her. His situation is complicated by estranged in-laws who threaten to gain custody of their granddaughter. Will learns the meaning of grace (unmerited favour) as, one after another, people step up to give support. There is Wynona, who is domineering and opinionated but never wavers in her advice and encouragement; Pearl, a retiree, who takes him under her wing; a quirky nurse named Grace Anne who is the queen of social blunders; and his former English teacher who becomes a significant benefactor, to name a few. Will faces many challenges as he embraces fatherhood and adult responsibility. Unintentionally entangled in his older brothers’ shady activities, disaster ensues, and his ability to raise his daughter is called into question. The story evolves as he struggles to rise above circumstances and prove his good character. Several astounding developments suddenly alter the course of his life, and a friendship he took for granted takes a surprising turn.

Because someone was foolish enough to name him co-guardian of their children. That's how. Cole Montgomery's living his best life--until he gets a call from an attorney letting him know he's been entrusted with the care of two little girls. He can't imagine why anyone would think he was a good role model. He can't even keep a plant alive. Lingerie designer Hailey Casselton grew up with a free-spirited mother. So, when she finds out she's the temporary co-guardian to two children, she's determined to give them the best Christmas they've ever had.

He might be used to living for himself, but he works hard to change his ways and meet the needs of these lost and scared girls. It doesn't take long for her to enter dangerous territory--falling for a guy who's never going to settle down. Except...as much as Cole keeps saying he can't wait to get his freedom back...he can't deny these girls--and okay, even Hailey--have become the very best part of his life. And he's not quite sure what to do about that.
