Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tiny Ozark town is haunted by a long-ago crime in this “dynamic, captivating” mystery by the author of Bred to the Bone (Mid-Atlantic Book Review). While visiting her mother in the rural Missouri town of Sycamore Bend, Catherine Hudson and her boyfriend go on a scenic hike—though it gets hard to see much of anything when a dense fog descends upon their trail. Then, in the rapidly fading sunlight, a young, barefoot boy appears, searching for his dog. But before they can even learn his identity, he disappears back into the mist. Catherine’s mother, Caroline, has become increasingly interested in the lives of those around her, even though some would prefer some stories stay in the past. But the retired librarian can’t help herself. Soon, details of a boy’s death eighty years ago begin to unfold—and a much more recent tragedy involving abuse, addiction, and neglect. Caroline won’t rest—and neither will a young victim’s spirit—until justice is done . . .

Book excerpt: Timothy Wahl grew up on a dairy farm in the town of Andover, New York. A restless youth who hangs out with other farm boys dreams big and is bound and determined to make his mark on the world. But reality is a wet blanket. He not only feels out of place but IS out of place. He scores mediocre grades, plays sports clumsily, and contemplates without much success a future of fanfare and celebration. One of the few places where he feels like he belongs is in Mr. MacCrae's art class, which also serves as a dumping ground for miscreants and the troubled. No one knows just how troubled Timothy is until the summer of his senior year. If Timothy has any chance of overcoming his troubles and finding his place in the world, he'll have to find answers in uncommon places, and most importantly grow up. His life depends on it. Join Timothy as he finds adventure in a world where girls love The Beatles, neighbors still know each other, and where roots run deep. The good life may be just around the bend, but for now, it's Hard Times in the Country.

Download or read book West Plains Dance Hall Explosion written by Lin Waterhouse and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011-11-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real-life mystery of a catastrophic blast in 1920s Missouri that killed dozens at a Friday night dance and shattered an Ozark town. One rainy night in 1928, a crowd, many of them the sons and daughters of prominent local citizens, gathered for a weekly dance held at Bond Hall. The explosion that occurred as midnight approached transformed Bond Hall into a raging inferno, left thirty-nine dead, and sparked feverish national media attention and decades of bitterness in the Missouri Ozark town. And while the story inspired a popular country song, the firestorm remains an unsolved mystery. In this first book on the notorious catastrophe, Lin Waterhouse presents a clear account of the event and its aftermath that judiciously weighs conflicting testimony and deeply respects the personal anguish experienced by parents forced to identify their children by their clothing and personal trinkets. Based on extensive research into archival records and illustrated with numerous photos, this is a fascinating account of a heartbreaking disaster and the town it tore apart.
