The Bear Hunter's Daughters
"Go jump in a lake! Bawdy, fantastic, and surprisingly poignant, The Bear Hunter's Daughters is the perfect book for the wildest person in your life. Told with brio and humor, this fable of the seven redhaired sisters settles deep in your bones. I loved it from beginning to end." - Keith Donohue, author of The Girl in the Bog and The Stolen ChildIn this funny and unforgettable modern day fairy tale, seven sisters raised in the woods fight to keep their freedom.Deep in the woods of western Finland, a bear hunter has raised his seven daughters to live off the land and steer clear of the trappings of life in town, like cell phones and a social life outside their family. When on his youngest Elga's twelfth birthday the hunter is killed by his prey and their mother dies soon thereafter, the sisters are left with unpaid bills and a leaky house.The tension between sticking to the wild ways their father taught them and submitting to well-meaning townsfolk's efforts to "help" threatens to divide the seven sisters. The eldest, Johanna, tries to wield control, Elga feels tempted by the pull to education, artist Laura spends all her time dreaming up sculptures and exploring nature--but the sisters' trips to the farmer's market to sell foraged mushrooms and their free time in their vast forest home bring them together in riotous fun. With evocative language and visceral scene-setting, readers get lost in world they've invented together and join the fight to protect it.Inspired by Aleksis Kivi's classic Finnish novel Seven Brothers (1870), The Bear Hunter's Daughters is at once realistic and fantastical, an intensely sensory exploration of our essential bonds both with nature and with one another.

A Texas Tail
"If you're from Texas, then you probably know someone like this." Plunk Landy's dreams are the same as many middle-aged Texas men--he imagines the Dallas Cowboys finally ending their Super Bowl drought, enjoying the temperate love of a beautiful woman, owning a top-end Ford 150 truck and a gun, of course, and finding some way to become important. Instead, Plunk's life consists of a dead-end job, an addiction to televised sports and Fox News (what he thinks of as "dates with himself"), and no notoriety at all beyond a lingering reputation as an oddball in the Fort Worth suburb where he grew up and still lives. However, when Plunk stumbles across a unique Halloween costume in a local shop, he suddenly finds himself on a path to obtaining everything he ever yearned for, and maybe more. So far, Plunk Landy has never amounted to much, but as Tail Man, he intends to conquer his home state first and then blaze a proud Texas path across the rest of the country, especially through Woke snake pits like Los Angeles and New York City. Will Plunk's dreams come true, or will he learn, as have many before him, that the worst fate in life is almost getting everything you always wanted? That's the tale told here--or, perhaps, the tail.
