October Suite
Maxine Clair
Genre: Family Life | United States
FREE for a limited time
It is 1950 and October Brown is a twenty-three-year-old first-year teacher thanking her lucky stars that she found a room in the best boardinghouse for Negro women teachers in Wyandotte County, Kansas. October falls in love with an unhappily married handyman, James Wilson, but when she becomes pregnant, James deserts her. Stunned, and believing that James will eventually come back to her, October decides to have the baby. But he doesn’t come back. As her reputation suffers, and with her job in jeopardy, she spends her days in self-deception and denial. Her best friend, Cora, contacts October’s family: her older sister, Vergie, and her aunts Frances and Maude, who raised the sisters after their mother was killed by their father.
October goes back to her family in Ohio and gives birth to her son. Numb, she gives the child–David–to Vergie and her husband to raise as their own, then returns to Kansas City to rebuild her life. But something is missing–and, apparently too late, October realizes what she has done.
What follows is the heartrending account of October’s efforts to reclaim her dignity, her profession, and her son, efforts that lead her into a bitter struggle with her sister and a confrontation with her parents’ violent past. The Midwest, the flourishing of modern jazz, and the culture of segregation form a compelling historical backdrop for this timeless and universal tale of one person’s battle to understand and master her own desires, and to embrace the responsibilities and promise of mature adulthood. October Suite plays a beautiful, haunting melody, turning everyday life into exceptional art.

Genre: Westerns | United States
FREE for a limited time
From the Authors of Nate Grisham: Black Mountain Man & A Southern Moon Rising
Mountain men were an unforgiving bunch when it came to revenge and even a casual comment made to the wrong man at the wrong time could lead to death. Teenaged Joshua Franklin comes West with his pa to trade items from their store to trappers. When his father and workers are ambushed by Indians and killed, he is suddenly all alone in the wilderness. Pike, an old mountain man, takes the young man under his wing and introduces him to Bear Killer. While they have plans to trap in the coming winter, another small group of men have a plan to kill Bear and any men found with him. Bear killed a man years ago and the yearning for revenge lived on in the man’s brother. Ruthless and filled with hate, they come for Bear and any who would get in their way…
It is the killing of one of Bear’s mountain man cohorts that leads him and young Joshua, now called ‘Deacon’ because of his strong religious views, to follow the killer. They trail the man all over the Wild West, into Canada, and even cross the ocean to England. Once in England and out of his element, Deacon knows he’s in a conflict with no quarter given and none asked for. Only one man will walk away alive from this fight.
