Book Description
A grieving woman finds solace in the rugged beauty of Ireland’s Atlantic coast in this “elegiac tale of loss and valediction” (Guardian, UK). Newly widowed, Martha Cassidy has returned to a remote cottage in a nearly abandoned village on the west coast of Ireland. There, she reflects on another loss in her life: that of her ten-year-old son, Bruno, who met an untimely death twenty years earlier. Alone on the windswept headland, Martha searches for a way forward beyond grief. But she finds herself drawn into a standoff between the successful hotel developer Eugene Riordan and an elderly local hill farmer Paddy O’Connell. As the crisis between these men escalates and Paddy suspiciously ends up in the hospital, Martha encounters Colm, a talented but much younger musician and poet—roughly the same age that Bruno would have been if he’d lived. Caught between her history and future, and that of a rapidly changing Ireland, Martha is beset with choices that will alter her life forever. In in richly poetic language, Rainsongs conjures the remote Irish coastline as well as the inner landscapes of its characters. It moves effortlessly between the lives of people and the life of the terrain, between the forces that shape character and those that shape the world.

Book Description
In the desert, water means life. In the Valley of Two Rivers, the canals have allowed countless generations to farm this harsh land. Too much water, however, can mean death. After winter floods destroy the canals, the farming clans of Serpentgate fear that their last days have come--the time of desperation and division spoken of in the Prophecy of the Rainbow Knife. Mysterious deaths, accusations of witchcraft, and a clash between rain priests and the priestesses of the mother goddess have set parents against children, men against women, clan against clan. To prevent this calamity, Waterstrider, one of the Watermasters who long ago built the canals, is called home out of exile. Waterstrider and his allies must survive a web of intrigue to restore the vast canal system and preserve their way of life. Volume 2 of Tales of the Watermasters Dramatic action and memorable characters drive an epic story of an ancient civilization. In these captivating novels set in the prehistoric Southwest, the People of Two Rivers are shown at the height of their glory as they face a catastrophe that threatens to destroy them utterly. Before written history began in what we now know as Arizona, a vibrant culture of builders, dreamers, and artists known as the Hohokam flourished there for a thousand years. And then they vanished. What became of these people? To find out, you'll have to wait for Bitter Wind, the third volume of the Tales of the Watermasters. Praise for the series: “Enthralling stories” . . . “vividly written” . . . “timeless human concerns” . . . “meticulously researched prehistoric world” Sally Bennett Boyington’s re-creation of the Hohokam world is sure to enchant readers of Jean M.
