She has endured unspeakable cruelty and bitterly rejects Solomon's affection and his dreams of a better life. James Hanger has recovered from his amputation and manufacturers artificial limbs for other crippled veterans. Grappling with shortages of supplies and financial hardships, he finds that his naiveté makes him an easy mark for unscrupulous mercenaries which puts his life in peril. James begins to question social norms that have guided him since birth, causing strife between him and his family and friends. All the while, the piles of bones keep mounting as the war continues with no end in sight.

Book Description
The first part of a Civil War trilogy, this novel begins with Lincoln's election as told by two historical characters, James Hanger and Halbert Paine. James was an eighteen-year old Virginian who joined the Confederate cavalry while Mr. Paine, a lawyer from Milwaukee, was named colonel of the 4th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry. James' naïve zeal for adventure is in sharp contrast to Halbert's probing doubts regarding the validity of the conflict. This novel tells of the struggles endured by these men as they deal with battlefield brutality as well as the rampant diseases and inhumane conditions suffered by both armies while their families deal with hardships at home. The reader will be introduced to many historical figures encountered by these characters as varying attitudes regarding slavery are explored. These two men are the eyes, ears, and voices of this story about a war that is nearly too terrible to comprehend and still relevant 160 years later.

Book Description
In The Bone Pile: Essays on Nature and Culture, author Maximilian Werner uses the vehicles of fly fishing, every day experience, and some of our most sacred rituals to explore the origins and limitations of our behavior and ideas. These essays range from the quasi-mystical to the polemical and from the polemical to the ecological. However different each of these essays may be, together they represent an incisive study of human and nonhuman life and of the environment that unites us.

Book Description
"YA horror has found a new standard-bearer." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Dark, gripping, and gorgeous, Wake the Bones will lead you into the woods and keep you up late. As lush and sweltering as a Kentucky summer... Elizabeth Kilcoyne is a force.” - Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author The sleepy little farm that Laurel Early grew up on has awakened. The woods are shifting, the soil is dead under her hands, and her bone pile just stood up and walked away. After dropping out of college, all she wanted was to resume her life as a tobacco hand and taxidermist and try not to think about the boy she can’t help but love. Instead, a devil from her past has returned to court her, as he did her late mother years earlier. Now, Laurel must unravel her mother’s terrifying legacy and tap into her own innate magic before her future and the fate of everyone she loves is doomed. Elizabeth Kilcoyne’s Wake the Bones is a dark, atmospheric debut about the complicated feelings that arise when the place you call home becomes hostile. "Seething with shadows, summer, and uniquely southern magic, Wake the Bones is a powerful debut that captures the ache of home being a place you simultaneously love and loathe." - Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf

Book Description
Bury your face in the red sand, your eyes in the clear sky. The American Southwest shines with sunlight, clean air, and free range. Bone Pile, the mutated twin to Riley Hill's Burn Pile, digs us out of the darkness to the light of day, where nothing can go wrong. Unless you're down wind. These five original tales of terror, dark humor, and horror uncover what lurks in the open, in broad daylight. The humor, if any, is dry. THEY COME TO SEE GRAVES. Desert towns sometimes employ artificial means to survive. MORE IN BISBEE. Deserts have a way of stripping bare the reality of how close we are to help when we need it. SURVIVOR. The desert offers a home to those who choose to live alone. PICACHO PEAK. Simple words and actions stir hidden forces. DUST TO DUST. No matter who you are, the desert has a way of bringing you home. To justice.

Book Description
Unknown bones, untold secrets, and unsolved crimes from the distant past cast ominous shadows on the present in the dazzling new thriller from New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen. Present day: Julia Hamill has made a horrifying discovery on the grounds of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and, according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder. But whoever this nameless woman was, and whatever befell her, is knowledge lost to another time. Boston, 1830: In order to pay for his education, Norris Marshall, a talented but penniless student at Boston Medical College, has joined the ranks of local “resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Yet even this ghoulish commerce pales beside the shocking murder of a nurse found mutilated on the university hospital grounds. And when a distinguished doctor meets the same grisly fate, Norris finds that trafficking in the illicit cadaver trade has made him a prime suspect. To prove his innocence, Norris must track down the only witness to have glimpsed the killer: Rose Connolly, a beautiful seamstress from the Boston slums who fears she may be the next victim. Joined by a sardonic, keenly intelligent young man named Oliver Wendell Holmes, Norris and Rose comb the city–from its grim cemeteries and autopsy suites to its glittering mansions and centers of Brahmin power–on the trail of a maniacal fiend who lurks where least expected . . . and who waits for his next lethal opportunity. With unflagging suspense and pitch-perfect period detail, The Bone Garden deftly interweaves the thrilling narratives of its nineteenth- and twenty-first century protagonists, tracing the dark mystery at its heart across time and place to a finale as ingeniously conceived as it is shocking. Bold, bloody, and brilliant, this is Tess Gerritsen’s finest achievement to date. This ebook edition contains a special preview of Tess Gerritsen’s I Know a Secret. "The story, which digs up a dark Boston of times long past, entices readers to keep turning pages long after their bedtimes."—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
