Other Indie Favorites

The Fifth Petal: A Novel, by Brunonia Barry (Crown, $27) "Brunonia Barry's newest witchy tale, set in Salem, follows the threads of three mysteries that all ended in murder. Callie, who carries the scars of murders past, is joined by detectives Rafferty and Towner from Barry's The Lace Reader in a race to stop yet more killings and collective town wounds. Barry's prose excels at keeping readers chasing threads and second-guessing theories about the crimes depicted. Her research and experience of Salem are evident, and her witches make me want to become one. History and folklore are woven like lace in this mystery as new characters and old favorites attempt to solve puzzles from as far back as the witch

trials that made Salem famous." --Jessica Hahl, Country Bookshelf, Bozeman, MT

Rise: How a House Built a Family, by Cara Brookins (St. Martin's Press, $25.99) "It's been a long time since I've read a book with such a strong female character-- and it's not fiction! After her abusive, third marriage dissolves, CaraBrookins resolves not to be scared anymore and decides with steadfast determination to take charge of her family. She takes her kids on a road trip to a cabin in the Ozarks, where they begin to dream about having a new house that represents their new life.As they build it, they tear down emotional walls. I kept looking at the photo of that amazing house on the back of the book with wonder

that she was able to do this on her own.What an amazingly strong woman! I loved this book." --Marya Johnston, Out West Books, Grand Junction, CO

Another Indie Favorite

Heat and Light: A Novel, by Jennifer Haigh (Ecco, $14.99) "Haigh has been building a body of work around Bakerton, Pennsylvania, for more than a decade. In this new novel, Haigh once again unleashes the sweep of historical forces as out-of-state companies look to drill for natural gas deposits.There is hope among residents that the future will be brighter, but there is also the risk that they will just end up victims of greed and further environmental ruin.This is a bigissue oriented book, but its success is found in the brilliance with which Haigh crafts her characters and makes their lives a vehicle for looking at the moral, political, environmental, and economic questions about fracking. A timely book perhaps worthy of the title `Great American Novel.'" --Anmiryam Budner, Main Point Books, Bryn Mawr, PA
