When Emilie Wyld, a disenchanted art student, takes a caretaker position at Kingsgrove Estate in the sleepy southern town of Willow Vale, she thinks she’s just found the best way to start a new life on her own. All she has to do is care for the house and keep the gentle, mute proprietor, Miss Adalynn King, company. But as she explores Willow Vale and meets the locals, she discovers another side to the charming, friendly place—whisperings of misused Voodoo. It isn’t long before Emilie realizes that the rambling, isolated estate holds secrets and Miss King won’t admit what she knows. As the grand estate’s strange creaks and cries become more than the strain of old timber and stone, Emilie comes face-to-face with the haunting past that Miss King can’t endure alone. Soon the electrifying presence of a long-ago, forgotten man begins to haunt Emilie—there’s something about him she just can’t shake, and she finds herself longing to help him. But the darkness that surrounds the small southern town isn’t going to make it easy for her. Suddenly, Emilie realizes she’s the only one who can fight to uncover the traumas and wrong-doings from the King family’s past, and make a great sacrifice for the sake of love.

Black Pine Road

By: Christena Rose

Where Black Pine Road ends and the forest begins, a house waits, cold and empty. Rumors of dark spirits keep the people of Mahihkan away from the sole property and the quiet path that leads there. When aspiring writer, Lee Thorne, arrives in the small northern town, she knows nothing of its secrets. She sees the isolated house on Black Pine Road as the perfect winter getaway to write her first book. Hoping to leave the chaos of the city behind, Lee rents the long-abandoned home from its haughty landlord, Will Ashmore, though, even he refuses to step through the front door. As autumn turns to winter, Lee braves the harsh conditions but struggles with the nightmares and paranoia creeping into her life. Electrical disturbances and shadowy figures haunt the halls of Lee’s new home, making her question what is real. Then she hears it—a voice hissing, “You’re mine!” Has Lee gone mad, or has the seclusion she desperately sought turned into a waking nightmare?

Home and Work

Negotiating Boundaries through Everyday Life

By: Christena E. Nippert-Eng

Do you put family photos on your desk at work? Are your home and work keys on the same chain? Do you keep one all-purpose calendar for listing home and work events? Do you have separate telephone books for colleagues and friends? In Home and Work, Christena Nippert-Eng examines the intricacies and implications of how we draw the line between home and work. Arguing that relationships between the two realms range from those that are highly "integrating" to those that are highly "segmenting," Nippert-Eng examines the ways people sculpt the boundaries between home and work. With remarkable sensitivity to the symbolic value of objects and actions, Nippert-Eng explores the meaning of clothing, wallets, lunches and vacations, and the places and ways in which we engage our family, friends, and co-workers. Commuting habits are also revealing, showing how we make the transition between home and work selves though ritualized behavior like hellos and goodbyes, the consumption of food, the way we dress, our choices of routes to and from work, and our listening, working, and sleeping habits during these journeys. The ways each of us manages time, space, and people not only reflect but reinforce lives that are more "integrating" or "segmenting" at any given time. In clarifying what we take for granted, this book will leave you thinking in different ways about your life and work.

God, Dr. Buzzard, and the Bolito Man

A Saltwater Geechee Talks About Life on Sapelo Island, Georgia

By: Cornelia Walker Baily,Christena Bledsoe

Equal parts cultural history and memoir, God, Dr. Buzzard, and the Bolito Man recounts a traditional way of life--that of the Geechee Indians of Sapelo Island-- that is threatened by change, with stories that speak to our deepest notions of family, community, and a connection to one’s homeland. Cornelia Walker Bailey models herself after the African griot, the tribal storytellers who keep the history of their people. Bailey’s people are the Geechee, whose cultural identity has been largely preserved due to the relative isolation of Sapelo, a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. In this rich account, Bailey captures the experience of growing up in an island community that counted the spirits of its departed among its members, relied on pride and ingenuity in the face of hardship, and taught her firsthand how best to reap the bounty of the marshes, woods and ocean that surrounded her. The power of this memoir to evoke the life of Sapelo Island is remarkable, and the history it preserves is invaluable. “A special book that reveals the unconquerable spirit of a people who, though torn from their African homeland, imprinted America with a unique culture that continues to endure.” --Ebony

Bound in Silence

An Unsolved Murder in a Small Texas Town

By: Christena Stephens

On a nearly moonless night in October 1943, a single gunshot rang out in Littlefield, Texas. A prominent Texas doctor and his wife were found bound, shot, beaten, and murdered. The only witness: their five-year-old daughter, who was bound to silence and refused to speak about what happened for 70 years. The heinous crime remains unsolved. For years, the courts tried to convict one suspect, but forensic evidence contradicted the prosecution’s case. Investigators, including the famed Texas Rangers, failed to bring anyone to justice. Eight decades later, the questions linger over the plains of the Texas Panhandle: who killed the Hunts and why? Author and historian Christena Stephens spent more than a decade researching the Hunt murders, re-examining every twist and turn in the legal process, uncovering new evidence, and drawing new conclusions about who might have been responsible. She also convinced Jo Ann Hunt to break 70 years of silence and tell her story for the first time. Armed with Jo Ann’s account, Stephens takes the reader back to that deadly night and through the years of trauma that followed. Why did the criminal justice system repeatedly fail to bring anyone to justice? What could have scared a 5-year-old girl into a lifetime of silence? What did investigators miss? And most importantly, who killed Roy and Mae Hunt? Bound in Silence is a true crime tour-de-force, a meticulously researched, impeccably told tale of unsolved murder on the High Plains.

Japanese Workers in Protest

An Ethnography of Consciousness and Experience

By: Christena L. Turner

This first ethnographic study of factory workers engaged in radical labor protest gives a voice to a segment of the Japanese population that has been previously marginalized. These blue-collar workers, involved in prolonged labor disputes, tell their own story as they struggle to make sense of their lives and their culture during a time of conflict and instability. What emerges is a sensitive portrait of how workers grapple with a slowed economy and the contradictions of Japanese industry in the late postwar era. The ways that they think and feel about accommodation, resistance, and protest raise essential questions about the transformation of labor practices and limits of worker cooperation and compliance. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1996.
