strength. Suddenly Sara is receiving crank phone calls, warning her
to stay away from Liam ... fearing her ex-boyfriend Chip's next

the owner of a murderous-looking knife collection. When Liam
proposes marriage, Sara accepts, making love by the light of
sixteen candles, one of Liam's superstitions. Somehow, that final
step seals her fate. The police begin to close in on a killer, the
death toll mounts, and Sara is caught in an ever-tightening web. At
its center, behind the most innocent superstitions, waits the

"A good place to be from." That's how some people might
characterize the Buckeye State. The writings in Good Roots: Writers
Reflect on Growing Up in Ohio, are testimony to the truth of that
statement. By prominent writers such as P. J. O'Rourke, Susan
Orlean, and Alix Kates Shulman, these contributions are alternately
nostalgic, irreverent, and sincere, and offer us a personal sense
of place. Their childhoods are as varied as their work. Some were
raised in urban Cleveland, Akron, and Cincinnati, others in the
small Ohio towns that typify the Midwest, and still others in the
countryside. Yet what they have to tell us about their roots
resonates with a shared heritage, a sense of what is universal and
enduring about growing up in the heartland. Their collective resume
reads like a literary Who's Who, including four Pulitzer Prizes,
several National Book Awards, and many prestigious fellowships.
Good Roots is also plain good reading from some of our country's
most accomplished contemporary writers. Contributors include: Jill
Bialosky, Dan Cryer, Michael Dirda, Elizabeth Dodd, Anthony Doerr,
Rita Dove, Ian Frazier, Dale Keiger, Andrea Louie, Kathleen Dean
Moore, Mary Oliver, Susan Orlean, P. J. O'Rourke, Julie Salamon,
Scott Russell Sanders, Alix Kates Shulman, Jeffery Smith, James
Toedtman, and Mark Winegardner.
