About the Book

LEAVING APPALOOSA by Wanda McNabb captures the struggle of Candy, who runs away under an alias, searching for her mother and trying to escape Deke, who may or may not be trying to kill her. Along the route through kitchens, both commercial and private, and the advice that comes with them, Candy discovers treatment for her mental illness and how to understand and communicate about it, all while seeing a mirror in her mother. McNabb's novel picks up on characters' private and public struggles - this fast-paced story offers snapshots of both the raw interruptions of schizoaffective disorder and the friendships and adventures during Candy's struggle to heal trauma.

About the Book

In Whippoorwill Sing, college-dropout Atlas faces the daunting task of saving the family home in Willow Creek, a rundown Appalachian town. There, she finds work in a museum housed in a former sanatorium. Atlas’s life becomes evermore complicated when she must face the ghosts hiding in the family tree in order to ensure that it has a future. Just as so often in our own lives, Lute’s masterfully written second novel, Whippoorwill Sing, leaves us chasing the promise of forthcoming destiny, all while hoping that we’re informed by the truth of the past.
