Rock Island Line
by David Rhodes“An authentically great American novel” that follows a young man’s descent into darkness after a tragic loss, and his struggle to find renewal (Booklist, starred review).Raised in an idyllic Iowa town, young July Montgomery is rocked by the tragic death of his parents. Fleeing to Philadelphia, he fashions a ghostly existence in an underground train station. When a young woman appears to free him from his malaise, they return together to the Iowa heartland, where the novel soars to its heartrending climax. First published to enormous acclaim in 1975, Rock Island Line brings David Rhodes’s striking characterizations and unparalleled eye for the telling detail to this tale of paradise lost—and possibly regained.“Beautiful and haunting . . . I read the book when it first came out over thirty years ago and it has lived in both my heart and head ever since.” —Jonathan Carroll, author of Teaching the Dog to Read
Rock, Meet Window: A Father-Son Story
by Jason GoodA dying man’s son reflects on their relationship and fatherhood as he considers how to raise his own two boys in this funny, poignant memoir.Humorist and family-man Jason Good is an only child with an atypical story to tell. His isn’t the usual rant about how hard it is to be a modern father or a tale about a damaging relationship with his father. Jason grew up with a charismatic, communicative, affectionate, and frustrated political science professor for a father—a man who taught him most everything about how to be a dad, how to live. Jason was figuring out how to parent his own two young boys when his dad was diagnosed with cancer and told he had nine months to live. That moment, and the year that followed, inspired Jason to tell the story of something he had always taken for granted: how his father had earned his true friendship and admiration in adulthood by the way he had parented him to manhood.Rock, Meet Window shows how an imperfect father can be perfection in all the ways that matter in the end, moving us to alternately hoot and become misty-eyed through his retelling of the friction points and lessons learned. Ultimately, this book inspires us to reconsider our own relationships and to appreciate the power of fatherhood.“A vantage point on the average American family that is sweet, funny, and deep. Good builds a world you want to linger in for a while and a family you root for until the very end.” —Parents Magazine
Rock of Ages
by Howard OwenIn Rock of Ages, Howard Owen returns to the terrain of Scots County, North Carolina, site of his best-selling novel Littlejohn. Littlejohn McCain has been dead 11 years. In that time, his daughter has divorced one husband and buried another. Georgia has reclaimed her original name and believes she is starting to settle comfortably into the last and quietest third of her life. But then she starts seeing her dead father--not just in dreams, but also in her Montclair University classroom. Her son Justin is already down in North Carolina with his pregnant girlfriend, helping prepare what's left of Littlejohn's farm for sale. On the verge of a breakdown, Georgia joins them. As a girl, Georgia couldn't wait to get away from the farm and her moribund hometown. She's back now, but only long enough to sell the former and bid a final, less-than-fond farewell to the latter. Or so she thinks. When her cousin Jenny dies neglected and under mysterious circumstances, Georgia is forced to deal with a major dose of baby-boomer guilt. She's always told herself that she could live with the knowledge that she would never truly "do right" by her older relatives, but now she's not so sure. The "peace that passes understanding" about which the members of her father's old church sing seems far beyond her reach. Georgia, with grandmotherhood and a ghost hovering, tries to discover what really happened to Jenny and partially redeem herself. In the process, she will find two things she never expected in the middle of the dead-calm boredom of East Geddie--requited, taboo-flouting lust and a murder mystery.
