Sam Pickering has spent decades writing about things that go bump in the night and in the day: forgotten books and corn fields, rescue dogs, islands in and out of the stream, flat moments and thoughts gravelly with worry--the miscellaneous common things that compose the well-lived life. His essays are curiosity shops, their pages stocked with observations and anecdotes that startle and awaken.

SINCLAIR LEWIS: THE 1920s AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN IDENTITY argues the importance of words, ideas, and values in sculpting twentieth-century identity. Here, Agran encourages literary scholars and all students of American culture to recognize that Lewis's reception in the twenties was formidable because of his sensitivity to the nation's history, its promise, and at points its troubling trajectory.

For John Wesley O'Toole, a disbarred attorney-turned art dealer, life appears to be returning to a semblance of normal as his troubles fade into memory. Still in love with his girlfriend, Jenna, he hopes to help convince her he would be a good husband and stepfather by showing interest in her young son, Robert. O'Toole offers to take the boy fishing in Jenna's parents' pond, located on their small family farm in the countryside of rural south Georgia. All goes well until Robert's lure gets hung on what initially appears to be a small mud-covered log but is soon found to be a tennis shoe containing human bones.

It's a wintry April 1833 in Watkinsville, Georgia. Fourteen-year-old Barker McRae is stuck living with her odious uncle, militia captain Wiley Wood, as she waits for her father, a Methodist circuit rider, to return. Instead, a stranger arrives. Matthew Higgenbotham, a land lottery messenger who dreams of leaving Georgia, shows up at Wiley's farm with unexpected news: Barker has won forty acres in the latest state lottery. THE DELIVERANCE OF BARKER MCRAE weaves fiction and meticulously researched history to introduce readers to two travelers, thrown together by luck and duty, on an adventure neither of them wanted. This is a tale about trespass, frontier religion, fathers and daughters, and friendships between unlikely companions.

All three faced tremendous obstacles in a world that wished to limit and suppress their talents.
