Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a Grass Widow is a fictional history of a Potawatomi woman, Watchekee, in the waning days of the American Indian-Trader days and the beginning of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. She grew up in northeast Illinois. Watchekee struggled to survive after her Franch Canadian trader-husband cast her aside. Through an arranged marriage, she became the wife of another French Canadian, Francis Bergeron. Subsequently, her path led to Council Buffs, eastern Nebraska, northeastern Kansas, and finally to present-day, central Oklahoma. Stability in her life was challenged by the death of one of her daughters, the vicious attack on her oldest son, and the involvement of her husband in the state's 'free-state' politics and in the Civil War. Although her health was declining she managed to move from the Potawatomi Reservation in Kansas to a new reservation for the Citizen Potawatomi in the Unorganized Indian Territory. What was to have been tranquility turned to tragedy and to Watchekee's death when she came to the defense of her husband who was being harassed by two 'uncivilized whites.'

Book excerpt: THE GRASS WIDOWA widowed woman, a little boy, and a lonely cowboy, all that is needed is for fate to take a hand.Linsey Coburn finishes her first chores to make time for the garden. Since her husband's violent death a year ago, every day is a struggle. She lets five-year-old Sammy help, only to keep him close to her. Then she notices their small herd of cattle is missing.Cliff McHugh, foreman of the Harper ranch rides home from his friend's where the married Harper men have gathered to celebrate the first birthday of Hank's son. Four of the five men are now married with young children. After the pandemonium of crawling and toddling infants take turns grabbing for his long handlebar mustache, Cliff is ready to shave the blame thing off. A man was lucky to be able to saddle up and ride back to a bunkhouse with nary a female or noisy child in sight. That was Cliff, plumb lucky.Cliff finds and herds some strays back toward the widow's farm. He scolds her for letting the cattle escape, but when they check, they discover that a tree fell on the fence during the night. He manages to move the tree and shore up the fence but warns it is only a temporary solution. Linsey tells him to mind his own business, if she had the money, she would take care of it. When he finds one steer has a broken leg, she grudgingly accepts his help to dress the beef.Days later, the remaining cows escape again. This time, Cliff returns them and brings three men to repair the fence with wire and fence posts he bought. She is clearly terrified when the men make a crude joke about how the pretty woman can pay them for their trouble. Still, she manages to cook and feed them.When Cliff scolds the men, they remind him what everyone knows about grass widows. "They are all land, but no man."Staring at the proud, worried woman, Cliff finally understands. He sends the men home without him.

Book excerpt: Through the reminiscences of Kate Hamilton, an African American woman living in rural Furlong County, Virginia, The Grass Widow reveals the effects of deceit and adultery on the marriage of a young, impressionable girl. It is August, 1988, and on her porch Kate, now a sensitive, attractive woman of fifty-eight, contemplates events during her forty-year marriage to her philandering husband, Elmore, who five years earlier had a stroke when he discovered a letter indicating that Kate had been unfaithful. Feeling that she is partly to blame for his stroke, she has dutifully cared for him until he is almost recovered. Now she awaits the yearly homecoming visit of her sisters Olivia and Lydia, who want to sell the family farm and persuade Kate and Elmore to live with them in Pennsylvania. But Kate laments the disappearance of the large farms around their own property, realizing that the sale of theirs will hasten the disappearance of the small African American community which centers around her church, Canaan Baptist. Kates strong attachment to Furlong is also tied to her friendship with Myrtle Bless, an old civil rights activist and family friend, as well as to her church, and her duty to her marriage vows. Her sisters, long aware of the life she has led as Elmores wife, badger her to come live with them even if he refuses. By the end of their visit she faces a dilemma. Should she go with her sisters or stay in Furlong and continue her life with Elmore? Then after the sudden death of Myrtle Bless, a freakish accident occurs, one that leads Kate to make a surprising choice.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIII. The Sneeze Affairs at San Justo were going on much as they had gone before George went away, the only difference being that Annie was now living in a cottage instead of in one room in a boarding-house and could therefore offer her visitors better accommodation. George took his old place in the choir, and the opera, which had to be abandoned because of him, was now resuscitated once more. Everybody was in high spirits and even the crop of straw came up to expectations. Still, everything that glitters is not gold, and George felt many an uncomfortable pang when he fancied that his intimacy with Annie was being unfavorably commented on. Perfectly innocent speeches of his friends seemed to have a hidden meaning and he constantly interpolated censure into the words of others. The words of a preacher, it is well known, often strike terror to the heart of the unregenerate when the worthy man is only drawing the long bow at a venture, and George, more than once, thought even the text was chosen with special reference to him. But the crime of which he felt himself to be guilty is perhaps as common as any other in the decalogue, and it is therefore natural that a pastor should give it a due share of attention, for, however it may be amongst the ungodly, it may be asserted with confidence that it is the one crime which professing Christians find most temptation to commit. However careless of public opinion Annie might be and however cool, under her tutelage, George might become, there is no doubt that they were brewing trouble for themselves, and that, as sure as the consequent follows the antecedent, so surely would Nemesis dog their steps until the time should arrive when an account would have to be rendered. George seemed to feel...

Book excerpt: After a self-imposed exile in England, historian Gale Grayson has returned to her Southern roots, only to find eccentric relatives—and murderous scandal—alive and well in Statlers Cross, Georgia. They’d been talking about Linnie Glynn Cane since 1925, about the pecan tree where she was found hanging, and how her ghost never came to rest. No sooner do Gale and her four-year-old, Katie Pru, arrive in town than tragedy strikes again. Martin Cane, a straitlaced, religious man and host of the annual Southern Gospel Singing and Barbecue, turns up dead—killed by a rifle blast—in the midst of the festivities. Now it is up to Gale to untangle the twisted facts behind Martin’s death. Was the motive suicide, greed, revenge—or a long-delayed justice? To find out, Gale will have to dig deep into the town’s darkest secrets and her own painful past.

Book excerpt: Aidan Blackstone has nothing. A thousand miles from home, sent to the frontier by a family that doesn’t want her back, her only hope for survival is distant relatives who say they’ll take her in. As all familiar civilization fades into the distance, she is nineteen, unmarried and pregnant, and has no reason to think that the year 1876 won’t be her last. But she’s not met at the Washburn, Kansas, train station by the Bodett family. Only the daughter, Jocelyn, is there to greet her. Aidan finds herself bound for the Bodett farm, where influenza has wiped out the rest of the family, leaving young Joss in perilous financial straits and their only source of food and shelter at risk. Joss, in her brother’s clothes and severely lacking in social graces, has no time to mollycoddle a pampered, pregnant New England lady. It’s work or starve, literally. There are no servants, no laborers—just a failing farm, impending winter and the two of them to face it together. The Grass Widow showcases the ingenuity, determination and courage of women’s frontier spirits in a passionate, sensuous love story. Originally published in 1996, Nanci Little’s wonderfully detailed and researched novel picks up with the generation of women where Patience and Sarah left off. Originally published by Madwoman Press 1996.

On the eve of her forty-first birthday, Bunty Felse is overcome with depression. The weather is dreary; her only child, Dominic, fails to call with birthday greetings; and her husband, George, arrives home only to announce that he has to leave for London immediately to attend to urgent police business. After almost twenty years as a detective’s wife, Bunty doesn’t protest or complain; she sends George off with a swiftly packed case. To shake off her black mood, Bunty goes out for a solitary evening walk. She stops at the local pub for a drink and accepts a lift home from a sad young man whose troubles draw her out of her own and makes her feel compelled to help him. But as soon as the car door closes, the driver reveals a dark secret that could lead them both to early graves. Will she manage to escape the mysterious fugitive before it’s too late? The Grass Widow’s Tale is the 7th book in the Felse Investigations, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrant children first speak the language of their mothers, and in Toledo, Ohio’s Little Syria neighborhood where Joseph Geha grew up, the first place he would go to find his mother would be the kitchen. Many of today’s immigrants use Skype to keep in touch with folks back in the old country but in those “radio days” of old before the luxuries of hot running water or freezers, much less refrigeration, blenders, or microwaves, the kitchen was where an immigrant mother usually had to be, snapping peas or rolling grape leaves while she waited for the dough to rise. There, Geha’s mother took special pride in the traditional Syro-Lebanese food she cooked, such as stuffed eggplant, lentil soup, kibbeh with tahini sauce, shish barak, and fragrant sesame cookies. As much a memoir as a cookbook, Kitchen Arabic illustrates the journey of Geha’s early years in America and his family’s struggle to learn the language and ways of a new world. A compilation of family recipes and of the stories that came with them, it deftly blends culture with cuisine. In her kitchen, Geha’s mother took special pride in the Arabic dishes she cooked, cherishing that aspect of her heritage that, unlike language, has changed very little over time and distance. With this book, Geha shares how the food of his heritage sustained his family throughout that cultural journey, speaking to them—in a language that needs no translation—of joy and comfort and love.

Book excerpt: Ute Heggen’s husband revealed a shocking truth: he’d started a secret life and no longer identified as male. Ute, a mother of two young sons, thus became a grass widow, a woman whose husband, during a personal crisis, forged ahead into opposite sex identification. In this poignant chronicle, illustrated with fifty original nature photographs, Ute Heggen reveals the stinging betrayals, recent trends of mother erasure, and as well, sweet remembrances of her young sons’ childhoods. As she writes this memoir, Ute plants and weeds, finding ultimate healing in the curating of her beloved woods and gardens. In the Curated Woods: True Tales from a Grass Widow is a powerful narrative of modern life and natural beauty that gives voice to women in all walks of life. Ute Heggen tells further true tales of women discovering their voices again at uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com. “Ute's story is one of unimaginable gaslighting and heartbreak; it shines a glaring light on the financial, emotional, and societal repercussions of becoming a trans widow ...” —Isabella Malbin, founder of Whose Body Is It? We see a woman, a mother, facing and finding herself, overcoming. One feels the life undone, yet through a trial of the self, understanding. Ute Heggen’s tales retrieve the light from the darkness.
