Book excerpt: Eddie Porter, a professional gambler, arrived at the village of Fallston, North Carolina in 1930 with the rarest of commodities: money. He was there to investigate the prospect of buying a sprawling, run down tobacco farm. Eddie knew, at once, that he has found the place he had long been seeking. It was sound rather than site that told Eddie this. The people of Fallston had the exact same accent and voice inflections of the man he was seeking. It has taken Eddie a dozen years to find this place. After a week in Fallston, Eddie calmly bet the bulk of his fortune and the last ten years of his life on Fallston. In June of 1940, Eddie Porter was found murdered in his home in Fallston.Ten year old Jubal Scott was the first to reach the scene. Jubal caught a glimpse of Eddies killer, before he, too was knocked unconscious and left for dead. Soon, the Sheriff of Green County, Jubals father Mason Scott and Eddie Porters daughter join forces to hunt for his killer. Months of sleuthing later, the trio have only a budding romance between Monica Porter and Mason Scott to show for their efforts. Tensions mount with each attempt on Jubals life. Finally, Monica discovers a letter from her father naming John Lofton, a local, as the man who killed his friend in France during World War I. Soon after Eddies murder, Lofton is the victim of an apparent suicide. Monica Porters says, Case Closed! Mason Scott, however, remains unconvinced. The case reaches an exciting climax when Jubal Scott recognizes the real killers picture in a newspaper. Discover how Eddie Porters final corageous act of love changed his vengeful quest into a remarkable legacy of love.

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1956, a girl goes in search of freedom: “Chronicles a time of great change in America . . . will keep you reading long past your bedtime.” —Kelly O’Connor McNees, author of The Island of Doves A child swipes her mother’s engagement ring, snatches her sister’s brand-new nightgown, and runs outside to play “bride.” She soon loses the ring, rips the gown, and, when she gets caught, decides it’s time to pack her suitcase and make a run for it. When the policeman brings her home that night, her parents’ reaction isn’t what she expected. In fact, they tell her to try living at some of her friends’ houses in their little St. Louis suburb, so she can find a better family… What happens next is a summer-long journey in which Grace Mitchell rides shotgun in a Plymouth Belvedere, hunkers in the back of a rattletrap vegetable truck, crawls into a crumbling tunnel, dresses up with a prom queen, and keeps vigil in the bedroom of a molestation victim. There are reasons why Grace remembers the summer of 1956 for the rest of her life. Those are just a few. Through the eyes of a child and the mature woman she becomes, we make the journey with Grace and discover important truths about life, equality, family, and the soul-searching quest for belonging.
