Dixon has worked for OPUS for years, and he's wanted to get his hands on Adrian Padgett for most of them. He assumes that Avery is part of Adrian's criminal pursuits.

The Winslow Incident

A Novel

By: Elizabeth Voss

As a mysterious affliction spreads, a sleepy small town descends into madness in this “strikingly original” thriller and Daphne du Maurier Award nominee (Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Extinction). Everything seems normal in Winslow, Washington, as the tourists arrive for summer fun—the carnival in Prospect Park, the ghost-town tour—and the locals retreat to Ruby Creek to cool off. The only thing that’s unusual is the death of Pard Holloway’s cattle after a brief, strange illness. But now the disease seems to be spreading to humans. One by one, individuals deteriorate into lunacy. Seventeen-year-old Hazel Winslow, however, is perfectly healthy. That leaves her to confront the crisis on her own while her father, the sheriff, heads into the woods to hunt a fearsome creature; her boyfriend grows delusional; and ghosts invade her grandmother’s broken-down mansion. How can she reason with them when their minds aren’t functioning? And what would be worse—succumbing to the sickness, or being the last sane person left? Inspired by true events and informed by historical accounts, this modern Gothic tale evokes the mass hysteria of the Salem witch trials and the terror of the events in Pont-Saint-Esprit, France, in 1951. “Plenty of thrills.” —Kirkus Reviews

African Spirituality in Black Women's Fiction

Threaded Visions of Memory, Community, Nature and Being

By: Elizabeth J. West

African Spirituality in Black Women's Fiction: Threaded Visions of Memory, Community, Nature and Being is the nexus to scholarship on manifestations of Africanisms in black art and culture, particularly the scant critical works focusing on African metaphysical retentions. This study examines New World African spirituality as a syncretic dynamic of spiritual retentions and transformations that have played prominently in the literary imagination of black women writers. Beginning with the poetry of Phillis Wheatley, African Spirituality in Black Women's Fiction traces applications and transformations of African spirituality in black women's writings that culminate in the conscious and deliberate celebration of Africanity in Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God. The journey from Wheatley's veiled remembrances to Hurston's explicit gaze of continental Africa represents the literary journey of black women writers to represent Africa as not only a very real creative resource but also a liberating one. Hurston's icon of black female autonomy and self realization is woven from the thread work of African spiritual principles that date back to early black women's writings.

Vanished

By: Elizabeth Heiter

In this psychological thriller, an FBI agent returns to her hometown to catch a kidnapper who may have abducted her childhood friend years earlier. Eighteen years ago, FBI profiler Evelyn Baine’s best friend, Cassie Byers, disappeared, the third in a series of unsolved abductions. Only a macabre nursery rhyme was left at the scene, a nursery rhyme that claimed Evelyn was also an intended victim. Now, after all these years of silence, another girl has gone missing in South Carolina, and the Nursery Rhyme Killer is taking credit. But is Cassie’s abductor really back, or is there a copycat at work? Evelyn has waited eighteen years for a chance to investigate, but when she returns to Rose Bay, she finds a dark side to the seemingly idyllic town. As the place erupts in violence and the kidnapper strikes again, Evelyn knows this is her last chance. If she doesn’t figure out what happened to Cassie eighteen years ago, it may be Evelyn’s turn to vanish without a trace. Praise for Elizabeth Heiter’s Profiler novels “Suspenseful from the start and intriguing throughout. Recommended!” —#1 New York Times–bestselling author Lee Child “Terrific, gripping . . . page-turning.” —New York Times–bestselling author Allison Brennan “An excellent thriller—fast-paced and exciting . . .” —New York Times–bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann “Relentless suspense, non-stop surprises, and a twist around every corner . . .” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha and Edgar Award–winning author “Intriguing and tightly plotted.” —Laura Griffin, New York Times–bestselling author

A Mess of Greens

Southern Gender and Southern Food

A Mess of Greens

Southern Gender and Southern Food

By: Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt

Combining the study of food culture with gender studies and using perspectives from historical, literary, environmental, and American studies, Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt examines what southern women's choices about food tell us about race, class, gender, and social power. Shaken by the legacies of Reconstruction and the turmoil of the Jim Crow era, different races and classes came together in the kitchen, often as servants and mistresses but also as people with shared tastes and traditions. Generally focused on elite whites or poor blacks, southern foodways are often portrayed as stable and unchanging—even as an untroubled source of nostalgia. A Mess of Greens offers a different perspective, taking into account industrialization, environmental degradation, and women's increased role in the work force, all of which caused massive economic and social changes. Engelhardt reveals a broad middle of southerners that included poor whites, farm families, and middle- and working-class African Americans, for whom the stakes of what counted as southern food were very high. Five “moments” in the story of southern food—moonshine, biscuits versus cornbread, girls' tomato clubs, pellagra as depicted in mill literature, and cookbooks as means of communication—have been chosen to illuminate the connectedness of food, gender, and place. Incorporating community cookbooks, letters, diaries, and other archival materials, A Mess of Greens shows that choosing to serve cold biscuits instead of hot cornbread could affect a family's reputation for being hygienic, moral, educated, and even godly.

Literary Radicalism and Late Victorian Print Culture

Slow Print

Literary Radicalism and Late Victorian Print Culture

By: Elizabeth Carolyn Miller

This book explores the literary culture of Britain's radical press from 1880 to 1910, a time that saw a flourishing of radical political activity as well as the emergence of a mass print industry. While Enlightenment radicals and their heirs had seen free print as an agent of revolutionary transformation, socialist, anarchist and other radicals of this later period suspected that a mass public could not exist outside the capitalist system. In response, they purposely reduced the scale of print by appealing to a small, counter-cultural audience. "Slow print," like "slow food" today, actively resisted industrial production and the commercialization of new domains of life. Drawing on under-studied periodicals and archives, this book uncovers a largely forgotten literary-political context. It looks at the extensive debate within the radical press over how to situate radical values within an evolving media ecology, debates that engaged some of the most famous writers of the era (William Morris and George Bernard Shaw), a host of lesser-known figures (theosophical socialist and birth control reformer Annie Besant, gay rights pioneer Edward Carpenter, and proto-modernist editor Alfred Orage), and countless anonymous others.

Notebooks of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn

Notebooks of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn

By: Elizabeth Cook-Lynn

An eclectic collection of poetry, prose, and politics, Notebooks of Elizabeth Cook-Lynn is a text, a narrative, a song, a story, a history, a testimony, a witnessing. Above all, it is a fiercely intelligent, brave, and sobering work that re-examines and interrogates our nationÕs past and the distorted way that its history has been written. In topics including recent debates over issues of environmental justice, the contradictions surrounding the Crazy Horse Monument, and the contemporary portrayal of the Lewis and Clark Expedition as one of the great American epic odysseys, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn stitches together a patchwork of observations of racially charged cultural materials, personal experiences, and contemporary characterizations of this countryÕs history and social climate. Through each example, she challenges the status quo and piques the readerÕs awareness of persistent abuses of indigenous communities. The voices that Cook-Lynn brings to the texts are as varied as the genres in which she writes. They are astute and lyrical, fierce and heartbreaking. Through these intonations, she maintains a balance between her roles as a scholar and a poet, a popular teacher and a woman who has experienced deep personal loss. A unique blend of form and content that traverses time, space, and purpose, this collection is a thoroughly original contribution to modern American Indian literature. Moreover, it presents an alternative narrative of the nationÕs history and opens an important window into the political challenges that Natives continue to face.

Cotting School

By: David Manzo,Elizabeth Campbell Peters

In 1893, two pioneering orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Augustus Thorndike and Dr. Edward Bradford, saw the need to educate children whose physical challenges prevented them from attending school. As an experiment, they founded the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children in Boston. Modeled after 19th-century European institutions, the school was America's first for children with physical disabilities. Early classes were held in a church basement where Mary Perry volunteered to teach seven students. Tuition, a hot meal, and transportation in a horse-drawn carriage were free. Thanks to the leadership of the two doctors and board chairman Francis Joy Cotting, within 10 years the school was housed in an impressive, debt-free brick building. Renamed the Cotting School, the school is now located in Lexington and serves 130 day students from 74 communities. Staffed with highly skilled special education teachers; nurses; physical, occupational, and communication therapists; and dental and vision specialists, Cotting is a national leader in serving children with a broad spectrum of learning and communication disabilities, physical challenges, and complex medical conditions.

Legendary Locals of Gallup

By: Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola, Carol Sarath, and Bob Rosebrough

Geography has conspired to make Gallup, New Mexico, a special place with unique people and a colorful history. It has been a place of struggle and extremes where cultures have clashed, mixed, and melded. Gallup is a community that is simultaneously challenging and uplifting, heartrending, and redemptive. To local Native Americans, the Navajo and Pueblo people, Gallup is located on their ancestral homeland and bordered by their sacred sites. To early settlers, Gallup was a place that permitted transportation across the continent, first by foot and horseback, then by stagecoach and railroad, and ultimately, by America's Mother Road, Route 66. With its founding, Gallup became a place where European, Asian, and Hispanic immigrants--with hands that built America--came to construct a transcontinental rail line, harvest timber, mine coal, and establish businesses, while seeking a new life among the region's original native people.
