Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks’s wildly original debut novel, Getting Mother’s Body, follows pregnant, unmarried Billy Beede and her down-and-out family in 1960s Texas as they search for the storied jewels buried—or were they?—with Billy’s fast-running, six-years-dead mother, Willa Mae. Getting Mother’s Body is a true spiritual successor to the work of writers such as Zora Neale Hurston and Alice Walker—but when it comes to bringing hard-luck characters to ingenious, uproarious life, Suzan-Lori Parks shares the stage with no one.

Three-time Spur Award-winning author. A range feud between the small ranch owners against the powerful Post family threatened to make a shambles of a peaceful valley – and changed the life of young Stuart Post. He heard the arrogant voice of his father, Milo, the master of Spur Ranch, as he accused Hugh Shore of helping himself to his cattle. Even with a noose around his neck, Shore stood his ground – and he died. Right then and there, Stuart Post learned that a man has to stand up and take what he wants – or die trying.
