Book Description
Sheila Adams has been performing Appalachian ballads and telling stories for over twenty years. A native of Madison County, North Carolina, she was introduced to the tale-telling tradition by her great-aunt 'Granny,' well-known balladeer Dellie Chandler Norton. This collection of Adams's stories provides a rare portrait of a distinctive mountain community and charts the development of an artist's unique voice. The tales range from stories of heroic, sometimes fierce, mountain settlers to the comic adventures of local drifters and tricksters, from magical childhood encounters to adult rites of passage. We meet Bertha and the snake handlers, local preacher Manassey Fender (who 'looked like a pencil with a burr haircut, in a suit'), and Adams's beloved grandfather Breaddaddy, who taught her about life and death with an enchanting graveyard dance. But perhaps the most powerful character depicted here is 'Granny,' whom Adams calls 'the most exciting person I have ever known and the best teacher I would ever have.' By weaving these remembrances into her stories, Adams both preserves and extends a rich artistic heritage.

After moving to Lexington to develop her talents, Carrie becomes infatuated with the band's leader, Cap Dunlap.

As she picks up the pieces of her shattered life, Carrie draws on the two women's friendship, her inner strength, and finally, the healing power of music.

Book Description
Otis Fairfax, reclusive older resident of Nikiski, Alaska, had a lust for gold prospecting; it was all he wanted to do. Otis only worked when he needed cash to buy gas for his plane to scout a new prospecting site. Returning from one of these trips, his gas ran out along with his luck--but not before old Otis had finally struck it rich! What investigators found in his plane would come to make many people rich, as long as they had some connection to it. But easy come, easy go. And possession of another man's fortune would come to make many people do a lot of surprising things, some not easy and some that wouldn't just go away. Join Trooper investigator Sergeant Bob Seaton and his young protege as they track this gold trail through its various owners to an unforeseen conclusion.
