  Home Is the Road - Wandering the...

  From the award-winning Native American literary writer Diane Glancy comes a book about travel, belonging, and home. Travel is not merely a means to bring us from one location to another. "My sense of place is in the moving," Glancy writes. For her the road is home—its own satisfying destination. But the road also makes demands on us: asking us to be willing to explore the incomprehensible parts of the landscapes we inhabit and pass through—as well as to, ultimately, let them blur as they go by. This, Glancy says, is home. 
   
   
   
  Glancy teases out the lessons of the road that are never easy to define, grappling with her own: childhood's puzzle pieces of her Cherokee heritage and a fraught but still compelling vision of Christianity. As she clocks an inordinate amount of driving, as she experiments with literary forms, she looks to what the land has held for centuries, before the roads were ever there. 
   
   
   
  This, ultimately, is a book about land, tradition, religion, questions, and the puzzle pieces none of us can put together quite right. It's a book about peripheral vision, conflicting narratives, and a longing for travel.

  In Soul Friend and Other Love Notes to the Natural World, author and naturalist Sheila McEntee artfully conveys her deep love of the natural world and the solace she finds there. In twelve brief personal essays, spanning 20 years, she explores the flora and fauna in Appalachian forests, on the shores of the Potomac River, and, especially, in her own backyard, as she navigates the joys and trials of an introspective life: love, loss, death, loneliness, intimacy, uncertainty, and, ultimately, self-knowing and self-acceptance. In this small volume, we learn that nature teaches resiliency, and to be present to it is to find joy. Indeed, there is no heartache or struggle for which it does not offer comfort.

  SHOWING UP is a funny, heartfelt novel about poker, grief, and the unexpected friendships that get us through. 
  Mason DuPont isn’t exactly thriving. His once-distant mother is slipping into dementia, his creative spark is long buried, and peace feels like a foreign concept. Then he stumbles into a neighborhood poker group—where the bets are low, but the stakes are real. 
  Between absurd game variations, relentless teasing, and midnight heart-to-hearts, Mason finds more than distraction; he finds a tribe. And when a group member falls seriously ill, those friendships force Mason to confront old scars and rediscover parts of himself he thought were long gone. 
  Add in a fiercely independent artist who challenges everything he thinks he knows about love, and Mason’s quiet unraveling becomes a journey of rediscovery. 
  Touching, laugh-out-loud funny, and full of grit and grace, SHOWING UP is a story about showing up for others, and ultimately, yourself.
