CT Barton is a young child living in the isolated Red River Valley of Texas. Born in a small log cabin, his limited reality is filled with living off the land, sharecropping, and no friends outside of his humble mother and father. At the age of five, with his mind filled with dreams about the unknown world around him, CT finally ventures into nearby Dennison, Texas, with his father, only to have his world shattered by the bigotry and cruelty of the residents. Shunned as "white trash," CT vows to become more than just a sharecropper's son. He pursues an education as a way out of the river bottom, yet faces steep challenges every step of the way. And as the Great Depression and then World War II all but overwhelm his dreams, he pushes forward with an unwavering determination to see his visions become a reality. For fans of John Steinbeck, Beyond the River Bend is a fictional story based on the life of author Phillip C. Holland's father, detailing the pain and struggle he endured in a bygone era while pursuing the desires of his heart.

After the war, I thought all that was left was ashes, hollow ruins . . . Today, I know that’s not true. Where man remains, a seed, too, survives, a dream to inseminate time. Published in the aftermath of Mozambique’s bloody civil war, Mia Couto’s third collection seeks out the places violence could not reach, the places where, the author writes, “every man is the same: pretending he’s here, dreaming of going away, and plotting his return.” Shifting masterfully between forms—creation tale to meditation, playful comedy to magical twist—these stories grapple with questions of what’s been lost and what can be reclaimed, what future exists for a country that broke the yoke of colonialism only to descend into internecine war, what is Mozambican and what is Mozambique. Following fishermen and fortune-tellers, widows and drunks, and one errant hippopotamus, this new translation of stories by the Man Booker-listed author of Confession of the Lioness rediscovers possibility and what it means to be reborn. style="text-align: left;">Finalist for the 2015 Man Booker International Prize style="text-align: left;">Winner of the Neustadt Prize for Literature, 2014 style="text-align: left;">Winner of the Camões Prize for Literature, 2013 A Vanity Fair Must-Read Book From Around The World for Winter 2019 A Financial Times Summer Book of 2019

The River Bend is a collection of fifty-six boyhood reminiscences about growing up in the River Bend country of south-central Oklahoma, in the first decades of the Twentieth Century. These little stories first appeared as a weekly column in the Konawa Leader, a Seminole County, Oklahoma, newspaper owned and published by Ed Gallagher. This book is my response to the mountain of correspondence from readers of the column who almost invariably began their letters with: "Have you written a book about this wonderful place?" The "Bend" is twenty-five square miles of rolling hills, scrub oak, and briar patches separated from the rest of the world by the wide and sometimes cantankerous South Canadian River. The nearest town, located in the mouth of the horseshoe bend, is Konawa, which has one paved street and whatever was left standing after the tornado of 1966. The eleventh and last child of a very poor dirt farmer, I grew up thinking I was rich. My family owned a one-hundred-sixty-five-acre farm in the center of the Bend, and on all sides of us were neighbors who seemed like kinfolks. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl were words no one ever used in my presence.

River's Bend, a country romance. Leslie Hillerman, an artist in her midthirties devastated by divorce, moves in as the caretaker of River's Bend, a charming old farmhouse set on a river. She comes in search of solitude and healing but finds more than just trees. This is a warm, gently humorous tale of a city woman coming to live in the country about eccentric country people, their dogs, and an unlikely middle-aged love affair. It's rife with ghosts be they broken hearts or the kind that go bump in the night mysteries, and the healing powers of the river. Dreaming of love's return, Leslie discovers that love can be waiting in plain view and yet be completely out of sight.
