  Lone Tree Claim: On the Dakota Frontier by CK Van Dam is a stirring historical tale of courage, survival, and second chances on America’s untamed plains. Narrated with emotional depth by Catherine Divaris and produced and published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this immersive audiobook brings the Dakota frontier to life with rich atmosphere and vivid storytelling. 
  After losing her husband during the Civil War, Katie Rose Kelly refuses to let tragedy define her future. Determined to rebuild her life, she journeys west to the vast Dakota Territory, where she stakes a 160-acre claim and becomes a sheepherder—one of the few women bold enough to take on such a challenge. 
  Alone on the sweeping prairie, Katie must confront more than harsh weather and isolation. Powerful cattle barons view sheep as a threat to their grazing lands, and they are willing to intimidate anyone—especially a woman—to protect their interests. With relentless grit, Katie pushes back against nature, danger, and prejudice to carve out a place of her own. 
  Along the way, she discovers unexpected friendships, community, and the possibility of love—reminding her that even in the toughest landscapes, hope can take root. 
  Perfect for fans of frontier history, strong female leads, homesteading stories, and American West historical fiction, Lone Tree Claim is a moving tribute to resilience, independence, and the brave women who shaped the westward expansion. 
  Step onto the prairie and experience Katie’s unforgettable journey of hardship, heart, and triumph.

  On a cold December day in 1960, Joe Baker finishes plowing the largest field on his family’s farm in South Georgia and acknowledges the well of restlessness running deep inside him. Joe appreciates the good life provided by his parents, but his heart yearns for something else. So begins "Plowed Fields," setting the stage for a conflict that will nag at Joe for the next decade as he tries to reconcile his own desire and ambition with loyalty and responsibility to his family. Book One in the Plowed Fields Trilogy begins with “The White Christmas,” introducing Joe and his family, along with a host of friends and acquaintances who will shape their fates during the next decade. The Baker family is anchored by patriarch Sam, whose pirate’s appearance disguises a gentle giant of goodness, and his son, Matt, who is capable of strength and force when necessary but unafraid of tenderness when the moment requires a softer touch. "Plowed Fields also features Lucas Bartholomew, a black farm worker, and Bobby Taylor, the spitting image of a civil rights-minded Yankees’ vision of a racist. Tensions erupt early between the Bakers and Taylors, sparked by a senseless act and fueled by Bobby’s campaigns for the sheriff’s job against Matt’s best friend, the aristocratic and troubled Paul Berrien. In “The Train,” Joe confronts racial prejudice in his school and community and feels the strain of taking an unpopular stand. A girl claims his heart and a heroic deed plants a seed of hate that will fester as the decade unfolds. Beautifully told, slow-burning and haunting, Plowed Fields is a mesmerizing saga of people coming together and falling apart, relying on God and losing faith, and pushing forward and fighting back in times of crisis.

  “This powerful novel should join classics like Ernest J. Gaines’s The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Helena Maria Viramontes’s Under the Feet of Jesus, and Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird.”—New York Times Book Review 
  A gripping, gut-punch of a novel about a Cherokee child removed from her family and sent to a Christian boarding school in the 1950s—an ambitious, eye-opening reckoning of history and small-town prejudices from Pulitzer Prize finalist Margaret Verble.  
  Kit Crockett lives on a farm with her grief-stricken, widowed father, tending the garden, fishing in a local stream, and reading Nancy Drew mysteries from the library bookmobile. One day, Kit discovers a mysterious and beautiful woman has moved in just down the road.  
  Kit and the newcomer, Bella, become friends, and the lonely Kit draws comfort from her. But when a malicious neighbor finds out, Kit suddenly finds herself at the center of a tragic, fatal crime and becomes a ward of the court. Her Cherokee family wants to raise her, but the righteous Christians in town instead send her to a religious boarding school. Kit’s heritage is attacked, and she’s subjected to religious indoctrination and other forms of abuse. But Kit secretly keeps a journal recounting what she remembers—and revealing just what she has forgotten. Over the course of Stealing, she unravels the truth of how she ended up at the school and plots a way out. If only she can make her plan work in time. 
  In swift, sharp, and stunning prose, Margaret Verble spins a powerful coming-of-age tale and reaffirms her place as an indelible storyteller and chronicler of history.

  January 1936. 
   
  Lauren Greenwood has always believed that Hope House is more than just a refuge—it's a lifeline for those seeking shelter from both the physical storms of life and the emotional ones that haunt them. But as whispers of war grow louder across Europe and prejudice tightens its grip at home, she must fight harder than ever to protect the people she loves. 
   
  Edward, the steadfast journalist recovering from a life-changing injury, dreams of returning to his work—even as the shadows of fascism creep closer.

And Luke himself arrives at Hope House battered and feverish, carrying secrets that could shatter the fragile peace they've built. 
   
  As floods rise and tensions mount, Lauren and her close-knit community face not only the forces of nature but also the threat of those who would see them divided. With courage, resilience, and unwavering love, they must stand together against hatred, uncertainty, and the echoes of the past.
