Billy has loved the slave girl Nellies for as long as he can remember, but Old Albert, the boy's father, has repeatedly warned Billy that if he impregnates the girl, she'll be sold. The old man has had his way with many a pretty slave on the Dayton plantation, so he's fearful his sons might impregnate their half-sisters. Sure enough in 1859, Nellie bears Billy a son. He arranges for her to go North; however, and iniquitous slaver captures her. Billy won't see Nellie again until he fights at Shiloh and Gettysburg and escapes from infamous Camp Douglas.

In this remarkable collection of essays and stories, winner of the Best Book of the Year Award from the Outdoor Writers Association of America, Jerry Dennis demonstrates why he has emerged as one of America's finest writers on nature and the outdoors. In prose that has drawn comparisons with John Voelker, Sigurd Olson, and Aldo Leopold, Dennis celebrates the simple pleasures and complex challenges of family life, the allure of giant trout, the sacredness of secret places, and such wonders as bad weather, quirky fishing companions, and the occasional naked angler. Ranging from northern Michigan to Iceland, Chile, and the fabled rivers of the American West, The River Home is a passionate record of a life lived fully, crafted with clarity, insight, and good humor—by a writer gifted with an instinct for what matters. PRAISE: "This bright and sharply written book is a guide to a life lived consciously, a prerequisite and bonus of the sport done well." —Lisa Faye Kaplan, USA Today “Collections of essays about the outdoors and fishing crowd the shelves, but Dennis’s fresh writing and marvelous insights merit special attention. This fine collection will appeal to fans of Hal Borland, W.D. Wetherell, and Nick Lyons, as well as to those who enjoy the essays of fiction writers William Tapply and Thomas McGuane.” —Booklist “Even if you’ve never pulled on a pair of waders, you should read this funny and wise book about fly fishing – and a lot more.” —Georgia Times-Union “In this book, Dennis elevates the typical ‘outdoor’ essay, usually a mere recollection of adventures while hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, or pursuing other outdoor activities. He has transcended the typical by blending in elements of ‘nature’ writing: observation, research, speculation about the world in which the sportsman places himself.” —The Oakland Press

Sixteen-year-old Kayla was born with the ability to move things with her mind-things like credit cards and buttons on cash registers-and she has become a master shoplifter. She steals to build up enough money for her and her mom to be able to flee if her dad finds them again . . . which would mean grave danger for them both. When she's caught stealing by a boy named Daniel-a boy with the ability to teleport-he needs her help and is willing to blackmail her to get it. Together, they embark on a quest to find and steal an ancient incantation, written on three indestructible stones and hidden millennia ago, all to rescue Daniel's kidnapped mother. But Kayla has no idea that this rescue mission will lead back to her own family-and to betrayals that she may not be able to forgive...or survive.

"Knocking the gun away, running into the bank, leaving a trail of blood behind, not realizing he had been shot. "Heading into the Bob [Bob Marshall Wilderness] with a packhorse in tow. "With my rope stretched tight across the swollen creek, me on one side, the calf on the other." "Cross hairs at the top of his back, the buckskin butt patch fills my scope." "Prying eyes might find us a la naturale, refreshing ourselves in the cool waters of a high mountain lake." A collection of true-life adventures, tall tales, with a few out and out lies thrown in just for fun. Oh, what a grand adventure it all has been, growing up and old, running the mountains along the continental divide just outside the smoky little village of Lincoln Montana.
