Book Description
There are Old West heroes of courage and conviction—and then there are the Sidewinders. Bullets fly in this rowdy adventure from the bestselling authors. William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone bring back those beloved, bumbling cowboys, Bo Creel and Scratch Morton. As usual, despite their best efforts, deep trouble has a way of tracking them down . . . Knocking on Trouble’s Door There’s nothing like family. At least that’s what people say. But when Bo and Scratch come home to Bear Creek for a long-overdue visit, Bo’s family kindly invites him to turn around and leave. His old friends and neighbors turn tail and run when they see him. Next thing he knows, he’s in jail for the brutal murder of two saloon girls in neighboring Cottonwood. Unfortunately, the real killer looks astonishingly like Bo. Now, with his buddy in jail, Scratch needs to ride to the rescue, if he can escape the clutches of the beautiful assistant to a traveling snake oil salesman. With Bear Creek in an uproar, a man with Bo Creel’s face and body is about to kill again. And the worst is still hovering on the horizon: a family secret that could turn Bo’s hair bone-white. Praise for the novels of William W. Johnstone “[A] rousing, two-fisted saga of the growing American frontier.”—Publishers Weekly on Eyes of Eagles “There’s plenty of gunplay and fast-paced action.”—Curled Up with a Good Book on Dead Before Sundown

To cope with the rejection of Robin’s love, Kirby joined the army and after his discharge, works with his brother and sister. However, he lives on the wild side. When Robin’s cousins come up to Bear Creek for a bear hunt, her cousin, Marcia, has just broken off her engagement to her abusive fiancé.

Reggie Thornton is feeling lonely in her big home built for five people now that both of her younger brothers are married. She wants a family too! But, who would want to marry her, a six foot, thirty-year-old tomboy? Reggie has always liked Chip so much that he basically ruined her for other men. But the fool just can’t see that she likes him. Chip is suddenly given custody of the nine-year-old daughter he didn’t even know he had. His efficiency apartment won’t work so Reggie takes them both in at her four-bedroom house. A Hollywood production company is making a movie at the Thornton ranch and at the old ghost town in the mountains above Bear Creek. Someone is doing things to drive them away, including bar fights, fires and even murder. Will Chip and Reggie be able to resolve the problems facing Bear Creek and still keep everyone safe in the process? Will there be any hope for Reggie and Chip to build a relationship?

The Butcher's Daughter
Author: Victoria Glendinning
Publisher: Abrams
ISBN: 1468316346
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
A woman in Tudor England fends for herself after Henry VIII closes her abbey in this historical novel perfect for fans of Wolf Hall and Philippa Gregory. In 1535, England is hardly a wellspring of gender equality; it is a grim and oppressive age where women―even the privileged few who can read and write―have little independence. In The Butcher’s Daughter, it is this milieu that mandates Agnes Peppin, daughter of a simple country butcher, to leave her family home in disgrace and live out her days cloistered behind the walls of the Shaftesbury Abbey. But with her great intellect, she becomes the assistant to the Abbess and as a result integrates herself into the unstable royal landscape of King Henry VIII. As Agnes grapples with the complex rules and hierarchies of her new life, King Henry VIII has proclaimed himself the new head of the Church. Religious houses are being formally subjugated, monasteries dissolved, and the great Abbey is no exception to the purge. The cosseted world in which Agnes has carved out for herself a sliver of liberty is shattered. Now, free at last to be the master of her own fate, she descends into a world she knows little about, using her wits and testing her moral convictions against her need to survive by any means necessary . . . The Butcher’s Daughter is the riveting story of a young woman facing head-on the obstacles carefully constructed against her sex. This dark and affecting novel by award-winning author Victoria Glendinning intricately depicts the lives of women in the sixteenth century in a world dominated by men. “A fresh perspective [of the Tudor Era]. . . . Glendinning’s research convincingly depicts the bustling and frequently ruthless world of Henry VIII’s England.” —Library Journal “Psychologically astute . . . and evincing deep knowledge of Tudor-era society. Glendinning thoughtfully explores womanhood’s many facets.” —Booklist “Unabashedly feminist . . . elegant, intelligent, compulsively entertaining. . . . [The Butcher’s Daughter] demonstrates the power of individuals with inner strength and determination to work for change when able to choose a life of their own design.” —Foreword Reviews (starred review)

Book Description
Memories of Montana's Bear Creek Valley flicker briefly to life each February on the anniversary of its darkest day. It is remembered as the site of Montana's worst coal mining accident, which claimed the lives of 75 miners, but the valley was so much more. For decades it was Montana's "coal basket," housing two towns, dozens of coal mines, and a population equaling that of neighboring Red Lodge. Businesses included a movie theater, dry goods store, grocery stores, hotels, hospitals, butchers, banks, bars, and union halls, all serving residents with pan-European origins. Its schools produced championship sports teams and community leaders. Gone, but not forgotten, Bear Creek Valley lives on in this book.
