A Woman Named Damaris (Women of the West #4)
by Janette OkeThe trauma of her father coming home drunk and mean had been repeated as long as Damaris could remember. The idea that she no longer needs to tolerate this, that she's old enough to manage on her own, is planted in her mind and grows. When the opportunity to run away arrives, she carries with her the strength of her mother's love. But Damaris can't escape the "aloneness" that haunts her life or the bitterness she feels when she sees others suffering, particularly children. Two treasures hidden for years from her father are Damaris' only legacy from her past. That and her name. Her mother said it had a special meaning that she can no longer remember. What difference might it make?

World, Chase Me Down: A Novel
by Andrew HillemanA rousing, suspenseful debut novel—True Grit meets Catch Me If You Can—based on the forgotten true story of a Robin Hood of the American frontier who pulls off the first successful kidnapping for ransom in U.S. history Once the most wanted man in America, Pat Crowe is a forgotten folk hero who captivated the nation as an outlaw for economic justice. World, Chase Me Down resurrects him, telling the electrifying story of the first great crime of the last century: how in 1900 the out-of-work former butcher kidnapped the teenage son of Omaha’s wealthiest meatpacking tycoon for a ransom of $25,000 in gold, and then burgled, safe-cracked, and bond-jumped his way across the country and beyond, inciting a manhunt that was dubbed “the thrill of the nation” and a showdown in the court of public opinion between the haves and have-nots—all the while plotting a return to the woman he never stopped loving. As if channeling Mark Twain and Charles Portis, Andrew Hilleman has given us a character who is bawdy and soulful, grizzled, salty, and hard-drinking, and with a voice as unforgettable as that of Lucy Marsden in Alan Gurganus’s Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All—an antihero you can’t help rooting for.From the Trade Paperback edition.
