Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER May Appleby has always wondered where she came from. She loves her adoptive parents, but wants to know where she gets her dark skin and her long black hair. Could she be of native Indian heritage? Her friend Lee, who has always been proud of his own native background, believes she is. Then one day a mysterious white mist transports May and Lee back in time, to the land of their ancestors: the shores of Lake Michigan in the 1830s. The white man is settling the land, wiping out the forest--and threatening the very existence of May and Lee's tribe. By the time they discover the secret meaning of their journey to the past and the message they must bring back to the present, it may be too late. May and Lee may be trapped in the past forever.

Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Book Description
Joe Allston, the retired literary agent of Stegner's National Book Award-winning novel, The Spectator Bird, returns in this disquieting and keenly observed novel. Scarred by the senseless death of their son and baffled by the engulfing chaos of the 1960s, Allston and his wife, Ruth, have left the coast for a California retreat. And although their new home looks like Eden, it also has serpents: Jim Peck, a messianic exponent of drugs, yoga, and sex; and Marian Catlin, an attractive young woman whose otherworldly innocence is far more appealing—and far more dangerous.
