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.

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: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ignored on her birthday by her husband and son, Bunty Felse takes herself out to celebrate—and finds herself in mortal danger. 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.

Book excerpt: Life crises threaten our spiritual stability. Losing a loved one—whether or not you expect their death—is always traumatic. The trauma of adjusting to the new identity of widow while facing a multitude of questions and urgent decisions can be overwhelming. In this book of 60 meditations, Nell Noonan candidly shares her experiences in the 26 months after the death of her husband. She describes her journey in grief as packed with blessings and brokenness. Despite the low points, she managed to find God in the midst of bereavement. Noonan acknowledges that each person's grief journey is unique. "My writing is not meant to tell anyone what or how or when to do anything," Noonan says. "The devotions are only meant to be messages that I want to hold your hand, feel our pain, and hopefully we will be able to inch slowly, step-by-step into being more whole, less broken—into new, peace-filled life." This book will help widows, whether they choose to read it alone or with a group. A good resource for grief support groups, and an appropriate gift to show your concern for any woman grieving the loss of her husband.

She provides the reader with direction in finding true and lasting comfort in Christ. Cornish, who lost her husband of 38 years to lung cancer, encourages widows to use their widowhood for God’s glory. Ministry to widows needs to be a priority for Christian communities, and Cornish equips churches, families, and friends to come alongside those mourning the loss of a spouse. The Undistracted Widow includes sections to help widows find renewed identity and purpose. Cornish helps readers trust in God, manage emotions, learn from both biblical and contemporary widows, rethink the past, present, and future, and prepare for what’s next. Pastors, churches, and others will benefit from practical appendices. Any woman who is grieving the loss of her husband, or who knows of someone in mourning, will find this to be a valuable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully written debut, Anna Jean Mayhew offers a riveting depiction of Southern life in the throes of segregation, what it will mean for a young girl on her way to adulthood—and for the woman who means the world to her . . . On a scorching day in August 1954, thirteen-year-old Jubie Watts leaves Charlotte, North Carolina, with her family for a Florida vacation. Crammed into the Packard along with Jubie are her three siblings, her mother, and the family’s black maid, Mary Luther. For as long as Jubie can remember, Mary has been there—cooking, cleaning, compensating for her father’s rages and her mother’s benign neglect, and loving Jubie unconditionally. Bright and curious, Jubie takes note of the anti-integration signs they pass, and of the racial tension that builds as they journey further south. But she could never have predicted the shocking turn their trip will take. Now, in the wake of tragedy, Jubie must confront her parents’ failings and limitations, decide where her own convictions lie, and make the tumultuous leap to independence . . . Infused with the intensity of a changing time, here is a story of hope, heartbreak, and the love and courage that can transform us—from child to adult, from wounded to indomitable.
