"United by the common denominators of gender and professional calling, today's women of wine have traveled diverse paths to fulfill their passions. Written from a distinctly female viewpoint, Women of the Vine explores the stories of women winemakers, women sommeliers, and women who are members of wine groups, embodying each woman's personal experience in an often male-dominated industry. These women share their lives, wine tips, pairings, and, most importantly, enthusiasm for wine. They also reveal candid stories of their personal triumphs and failures and discuss the universal dilemma of balancing work and family. Brimming with profiles of women's wine groups and tips and secrets for getting the most enjoyment out of wine, Women of the Vine takes listeners on a new and very different journey to wine country, inviting them to enjoy these remarkable women's stories one sip at a time."
"When long-buried human remains are found at an old deserted mill in Jackson Creek, North Carolina, newspaper publisher Ava Logan uncovers more than a cold case. With a bullet still lodged in the skull, the only certainty is the victim died a violent death.
As Sheriff Grayson Ridge and an anthropologist work to identify the remains, Ava sets out to discover where love, betrayal, and family ties entwine.
Determined to uncover the identity of the victim, Ava unwittingly sets off a chain reaction of consequences no one in Jackson Creek is prepared for. Decades-old secrets surface and threaten to destroy those closest to her.
Exposing family truths will compromise the ones she loves—not exposing them will jeopardize her relationship with Sheriff Grayson Ridge.
What will Ava do for love? How far will a murderer go to bury the truth? How long will they all live the lies?"
"In the heart of Appalachia, newspaper publisher Ava Logan should feel joy and pride as she watches her thirteen-year-old daughter being baptized in the cold water of Jackson Creek—but she can't rejoice when thoughts of an employee who failed to show up for work keep pulling her attention away. Ava's convinced something horrible has happened to Scott. Then his backpack is found floating in the same river her daughter is being baptized in. While clue after clue leads her deeper into the hollers of Appalachia—ripe with tradition and folktales, storefront religion, and the darkest of secrets, Ava discovers truths about those close to her and about her own beliefs. With her own life in jeopardy, how deep will she go to find the truth? What secrets will she expose? What secrets will she keep?"
"When Beatrice Trixie Jordan replies to a personal ad-If your intentions are pure I am seeking a friend for the end of the world-she meets Jacob Grace, a charming, effervescent thirty-something free-spirit writer passionately seeking life.
He possesses his own turns of phrase and ways of thinking and feeling that dissonantly harmonize with Trixie's off-center vision. As they rollercoaster through the joys and furies of their wrenching romance, they try to come to terms with the hurt brought about by both of their distant fathers who, in different ways, forsook them.
Written with snap, glitter, and wit, God-Shaped Hole is a memorable, poignant love story that will leave you weeping with laughter and rushing to share it someone."
"Ava Logan, single mother and small business owner, lives deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, where poverty and pride reign. As publisher of the town newspaper, she's busy balancing election season stories and a rash of ginseng thieves. That's when then the story gets personal. After her friend is murdered, Ava digs for the truth all the while juggling her two teenage children, her friend's orphaned toddler, and her own muddied past. Faced with threats against those closest to her, Ava must find the killer before she, or someone she loves, ends up dead."
"In the heyday of the 1970s underground, Bobby DeSoto and Mary Whittaker—passionate, idealistic, and in love—design a series of radical protests against the Vietnam War. When one action goes wrong, the course of their lives is forever changed. The two must erase their past, forge new identities, and never see each other again.
Now it is the 1990s. Mary lives in the suburbs with her fifteen-year-old son, who spends hours immersed in the music of his mother’s generation. She has no idea where Bobby is, whether he is alive or dead.
Shifting between the protests in the 1970s and the consequences of those choices in the 1990s, Dana Spiotta deftly explores the connection between the two eras—their language, technology, music, and activism. Character-driven and brilliant, this is an important and revelatory novel about the culture of rebellion, with particular resonance now."
"Bradford Morrow's stories have garnered him awards such as the O. Henry and Pushcart prizes and have given him a devoted following. Now gathered here for the first time is a collection of his finest gothic tales.

An archeologist summoned to attend his beloved sister's funeral is astonished to discover it is not she who has died, but someone much closer to him, in 'Gardener of Heart.'
A blind motivational speaker has a crisis of faith when he suddenly regains his sight, only to discover life was better lived in the dark, in 'Amazing Grace.'"
