Book Description
Part Cherokee, and with empathic abilities, Dr. Tullah Holliday isn’t your average small-town veterinarian. When her Black Lab brings her a skeletal human hand, she immediately notifies her father, Sheriff Henry Holliday. The dog leads them to the reputedly haunted swamp nearby, where they discover eleven shallow graves with remains of young women reported missing over the past decade. For Tullah, a great barred owl becomes a messenger for these dead souls who reach out pleading for her to find their murderer. The heir to the swamp asks Tullah to help break the swamp’s hundred-year-old curse, little realizing the dangers she must face—poisonous snakes, wild dogs, and a terrifying monster. Only by listening to the voices in the wind and obeying the owl’s indications can she put the past to rest and avoid becoming the next victim.

Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Jake Yoder, a precocious boy caught between Amish culture and the modern world, sits in his sixth-grade classroom writing stories at the behest of a stern but charismatic teacher. Jake's stories feature children who are crushed, imprisoned, and distorted, yet somehow flailing around with a kind of bedazzled awe, trying to find a way out. His characters wander through Amish farms, one-room schoolhouses, South American plains, mental institutions, exotic cities, and prisons; his haunting, beautiful sentences seem constructed to the beat of an obsessive internal rhythm. The strange logic and disturbing shifts in Jake's tales reveal a young boy processing intense emotional experiences in the wake of his mother's suicide and his own proximity to the schoolroom shootings at Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, in 2006. Jake imagines fantastic journeys, magical transformations, and rock stardom as alternatives, it seems, to his own grim reality and the limitations of his life among the Amish. Stephen Beachy frames Jake's work with commentary from both himself and editor Judith Owsley Brown, in which they offer their very different views on Amish culture, literary context, the use of psychoactive medications for children, Stephen's own mental health, and the reality of Jake Yoder's unverified existence.
