Being a waitress at thirty was never part of Annie Ferguson's plan. Neither was feeling trapped in a relationship with a man she wasn't sure she was in love with anymore. As she examines her life she finds she's heading down a path she doesn't want to travel and must correct it before it's too late.

The spark has disappeared in Annie and Andre's relationship, and she knows she can either attempt to rekindle the fire or reluctantly accept that the relationship has run its course. During this trying period in her life, Annie befriends Jon, an unemployed Boston transplant who lives across the hall, and Bill, a kind, reclusive older gentleman who frequents the diner where Annie works. Widowed with children who refuse to speak to him, Bill sees Annie as the daughter he could have a relationship with and challenges her to find her true self and rediscover her dreams.

As Annie, Jon and Bill deal with their own internal struggles they form an unexpected bond; one that is threatened to be broken up by distance if they each follow the path that would truly make them happy.

Misfits are often confused with outcasts. Yet misfits rather find themselves in-between that which fits and that which does not. This volume is interested in this slipperiness of misfits and explores the blockages and the promises of such movements, as well as the processes and conditions that produce misfits, the means that enable them to undo their denomination as misfits, and the practices that turn those who fit into misfits, and vice versa. This collection of essays on misfit children produces transmissible motions across and engages in scholarly conversations that unfold betwixt and between in order to make rigid concepts twist and twirl, and ultimately fail to fit.

Contesting Environmental Imaginaries foregrounds a question central to humanistic environmental studies: How is nature to be perceived and understood in a time of global environmental crisis? A challenge was issued to imagine counter natures, past or present, casting nature as a normative concept into productive relief. One ambition was to highlight shifting perspectives on nature and the environment that may help account for the rise of the environmental humanities; another was to invite challenges to orthodoxies, including those that animate this burgeoning field. Contributions emerged from the study areas of Environmental History, Ecocriticism, Cultural Studies, American Studies, Caribbean Studies, Scandinavian Studies, Media Studies, and the History of Ideas. This volume draws together the fruits of this thought experiment.

Somewhere between the Rocky Mountains and the amber waves of grain is a dark blue water tower at the center of a town called Peppermill. But this quiet town, once peaceful, is no longer as it once was known. For James Wyatt, he sees evil, corruption and immorality plaguing his hometown. His obsessive desire to make Peppermill a better place for him and his family fuels an internal force to rid the town of its sins. This desire quietly manifests itself in an underground dungeon cut off from the rest of the world. It is here that James forces his victims to contemplate the impact they are having in the world before he rids the world of them. When his teenage daughter, Amber, begins to show signs of these same sins, he feels he is losing the battle. As a parent, he struggles to distinguish her above the others but can he change her and save his only child or is she destined to become like the rest? In his third novel, Steven Hartman departs from the lightness of his two previous works to explore the darker side of nature versus nurture in the gripping psychological thriller, The Peppermill Murders.
