Book Description
Using the character of Joe Baker, Troy playfully creates a simple thread of connection among all of the stories in the collection. Yet Joe Baker is not the only unifying force. Each story is set in St. Louis, especially in the southern part of the city, creating a distinctive urban flavor replete with working-class neighbourhoods, corner bars, crumbling shotgun houses, hair salons, and dances in church basements. More important than the city or Joe Baker, however, is faith - faith in the future, in what has been taught, in the responses of others, and in oneself.

Book Description
A dark, thrilling new novel from the best-selling author of Longbourn: a work of riveting psychological suspense that grapples with how to live as a woman in the world--or in the pages of a book--when the stakes are dangerously high. When a young writer accepts a job at a university in the remote English countryside, it's meant to be a fresh start, away from the bustle of London and the scene of a violent assault she is desperate to forget. But despite the distractions of her new life and the demands of single motherhood, her nerves continue to jangle. To make matters worse, a vicious debate about violence against women inflames the tensions and mounting rivalries in her creative-writing class. When a troubled student starts turning in chapters that blur the lines between fiction and reality, the professor recognizes herself as the main character in his book--and he has written her a horrific fate. Will she be able to stop life imitating art before it's too late? At once a breathless cat-and-mouse game and a layered interrogation of the fetishization of the female body, The Body Lies gives us an essential story for our time that will have you checking the locks on your doors.

Book Description
In 1883 near Birmingham, Alabama. 11 year old Marian Jefferson and friends live a lifetime on The Path as certain events change their lives forever. In a time when the American South is struggling to survive the aftermath of the Civil War, a young girl and her friends travel and play along a very special overgrown dirt road. The road lies between Dixon and Birmingham, Alabama and is known to the locals as The Path. The deep, dark woods that border both sides of the path are a place of sanctuary and fascination for the children. Intriguing rumors and spooky legends surrounded the area even before the Civil War. Adults whisper tales of chests of gold buried before the war by rich plantation owners who took the hiding places with them to their grave. But the most captivating legend is that a Creek Indian may be living in the woods near The Path. As this band of friends set off to discover their own truth of The Path, certain events take place that will affect them forever.
