Summary

Betty Wales, B. A., a seminal work by Edith K. Dunton, intertwines the lives of its protagonist with the sociocultural dynamics of early 20th-century American education. This novel employs a witty and engaging literary style, characterized by its keen observations and a blend of realism and idealism, reflecting the aspirations of young women in a rapidly changing society. Set against the backdrop of women's higher education, Dunton explores themes of identity, ambition, and the evolving role of women in academia, making this narrative a vivid tapestry of collegiate life during its time. Edith K. Dunton, an advocate for women's education, was inspired by her own experiences and the broader context of women's rights in the early 1900s. As a graduate of Barnard College, her insights into the challenges faced by aspiring female scholars are poignantly reflected in Betty Wales'Äôs journey. Dunton'Äôs adept storytelling not only demonstrates her commitment to feminist ideals but also showcases her goal to inspire young readers to pursue their academic aspirations despite societal constraints. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in women's studies, historical fiction, and the evolution of educational opportunities for women. Dunton'Äôs nuanced portrayal of Betty Wales'Äôs journey is both entertaining and enlightening, making it a compelling read for anyone captivated by the intersections of gender, education, and personal growth.

    Two music obsessives embark on a hilarious quest to track down Buttery Cake Ass’ Live In Hungaria, an album as legendary as it is obscure. Their pursuit of one of the greatest bands ever unknown takes them down many a bizarre path teeming with grand ideas and grander egos in this ode to record shopping and what it’s like to be in your first band. Packed with puns, allusions, and references across a wide range of culture, both popular and not, Stone offers up a big slice of the fun and frustration of playing rock n roll. ONE OF VULTURE’S BEST COMEDY BOOKS OF 2023“like being taken on a rock n roll road trip by Holden Caulfield with a head injury in the best of ways.” – Dave Hill, comedian, rocker, awesome dude “humour of the absurdist school pitched somewhere between Monty Python and Spinal Tap” – Louder Than War“What really propels the story forward, is Stone’s narrative voice — comic and wistful, shot through with a lackadaisical intelligence, and injected with a heavy dose of the countercultural tone that created both Thomas Pynchon and indie-rock music journalism.” – Brian Slattery, New Haven Independent “reads as if Douglas Adams wrote it if he was raised in a record shop by Monty Python and Kurt Vonnegut” – Lance Marwood, V13.net

    "The choices you make determine who you are. Not no mark." 
 
 
 
Lochiel Ogle was born with a red-wine birthmark—and it put her life in jeopardy from the moment she entered the world. Mountain folks called it "the mark of the devil," and for all the evil that has plagued her nineteen-year existence, Lochiel is ready to believe that is true. And the evil surely took control of the mind of the boy who stole her as an infant, bringing her home for his mother to raise. 
 
 
 
Abused and abandoned by the only people she knows as family, Lochiel is rescued by a peddler and given the first glimpse of love she has ever known. The truth of her past is gradually revealed as is the fact that she is still hunted by a brother driven to see her dead. Unsure if there's anyone she can truly trust, Lochiel is faced with a series of choices: Will she continue to run for escape or will she face her past and accept the heartbreaking secrets it reveals? Which will truly free her? 
 
 
 
Set in the wild and beautiful Appalachian Mountains of nineteenth-century East Tennessee, Liar's Winter is an unflinching yet inspirational exploration of prejudice and choice.
