#1 New York Times bestselling author Sheri Reynolds delivers an
emotionally moving novel of Finch Nobles, a girl severely burned as
a child, who later discovers she can hear the voices of the dead.
After sustaining terrible burns from a household accident as a
young girl, Finch Nobles refuses the pity of her hometown. The
brave and feisty loner finds comfort in visiting her father's
cemetery, where she soon discovers that she can hear the voices of
those buried underground. When she begins to speak to them, their
answers echo around her in a remarkable chorus of regrets,
explanations, and insights. A wonderfully wrought amalgam of
Steinbeck, Faulkner, Spoon River Anthology, and Our Town, A
Gracious Plenty is a masterful tale not soon forgotten.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sheri Reynolds continues to
captivate in this masterful tale of redemption and finding a place
to truly belong. Kenny Lugo has grown up in a family that's not
really hers. Her mother died of cancer when Kenny was very young,
and Aunt Glo-who is, in fact, her daddy's girlfriend-took her in
when her father was sent to jail for drug trafficking. Now, as
Kenny approaches her eighteenth birthday and the end of the
government checks Glo has been receiving looms, she is desperate to
prove that this house and these people really do belong to her. But
when a senseless murder occurs next door in their small coastal
town, Kenny can't get it out of her mind. She has always been
consumed by the ways in which she is different-and inherently
unworthy-so the unjust death of a young woman with everything to
live for becomes an obsession. In the end, hers is a story of an
unforgettable young woman whose redemption comes from a source she
never would have imagined.

Bitterroot Landing introduces Jael, born into a hard life, but a
survivor. She will survive even River Bill. The almost impersonal
kindness of strangers will rescue her; a priest with a good heart
will shelter and teach her; a careful man will take his time and
love her back into the world. Voices have always spoken to Jael in
her mind, and some of what they have told her to do has been
frightening. But the voices she hears now speak of comfort and
courage, teaching her to master the ways other people manage to
live. Jael has a job now, cleaning in a church, and a room of her
own in the church's basement. As she dusts the statue of the Virgin
Mary, the Virgin speaks peace to her. "There's definitely too much
hurt around here, " she says. "In flaws, you find the truth, " says
the small, dark figure of a woman Jael sculpts out of wax. "Come
and look at the moon, " says the homeless woman she meets at the
laundromat. "Hello, I'm an incest survivor, " say the women in the
recovery group that meets every week the church, just the other
side of Jael's room. Voices both real and imagined make Jael
stronger every day, until she finds she no longer needs them. Until
she finds that at last she has a voice of her own.
