What do hammers, wheelbarrows, and brooms have in common? All of

Young readers will witness rare and extraordinary natural event as
a baby loggerhead hatches from its shell. With nothing but the
light of the moon to act as a guide, readers will follow the
newborn turtles' harrowing attempts to outpace a series of
predators on their march toward the glistening shore. After only
narrowly avoiding hungry crabs, owls, and foxes, the turtle rides
ocean waves to a calm clearing. Following a moment of peace in the
still ocean water, the turtle joins the rest of its pack on a dive
into the moonlit sea to continue the voyage home. Told with a
beautiful, lyrical rhyming sequence, this book introduces readers
to the birth cycle of a loggerhead sea turtle. Through the newborn
turtle's eyes, both kids and adults will marvel at the majestic,
and sometimes dangerous seaside landscape from a perspective rarely
seen before.
If you're poor in the hills of Appalachia and don't have the skills
to succeed in the 21st Century, what path is left? You try what you
can and you do whatever it takes to survive. Survival, not always
easy in hill country, is the common theme in these three stories
from West Virginia.
WICKED WOMEN: When a man wrongs his woman in these hills,
there's only one thing to do: get even. For the women of Peach Tree
Hollow, who have no cash, no connections, and no clout, this is
hard. But with the help of a little mountain magic and timeless
rituals, they find self-reliance, self-esteem, and best of all -
revenge

in his life. When his grandpap dies and is buried in the rocky
ground, McCabe is cut adrift. Unable to find work, he resorts to
robbing vacation homes along the Cacapon River shoreline. He meets
Allison when she catches him robbing her uncle's house. Her run of
bad luck matches his own. Allison comes from a missionary family.
He thinks she's crazy, but beautiful. He knows he must become a
different man if he's to have a chance with her.
ROSIE AND MAC: Rosie, a young Italian girl planning to become a
nun, and Mac, a shiftless Morgan County boy, are thrown together
when a hot car delivery goes wrong. Running from Mafia hoods, they
flee to the mountains. On his own turf, Mac easily eludes the mob.
He's attracted to Rosie, but realizes she won't be interested in a
guy like him. Their flight to safety is a West Virginia
odyssey.
