<p>Velda Brotherton returns to Grace County with her darkest Twist of Poe mystery yet… The Pit and the Penance. A ghost from her past threatens small town reporter Jessie West and those closest to her as she works to uncover a sinister secret found in the burned-out shed of Grace County’s newest resident. Things become even stranger when two bodies turn up that could be connected to the case, but the link is anything but solid. Then a guest at the local bed and breakfast disappears, and the Sheriff himself is behaving strangely. As if Jessie and her lover, Deputy Sheriff Dallas Starr, didn't have enough to deal with, federal agents and the mob have chosen the particular moment to descend upon idyllic Cedarton, Arkansas and start raising hell. It’s up to Jessie and Dal to put the clues together and navigate the treacherous, muddy waters of loyalty, secrecy, and long-buried secrets—before the ones who would rather those skeletons never get unearthed stop them for good.</p>

The wilderness of the Boston Mountains of the Arkansas Ozarks challenged settlers who came to claim land after the Cherokee and Osage were uprooted and sent to Indian Territory to the west. These homesteaders found a land rich in timber, wildlife and water. Most settled on the banks of creeks where they could build mills to grind their wheat and corn for bread. Bartering was a way of life. Housewives traded eggs, butter and cream for staples they could not raise. Very little money ever changed hands in the earliest days. Cooking was done first in fireplaces, then later on wood cookstoves, a modern convenience the women rejoiced in having. Arkansas Meals and Memories offers stories about growing up in the Boston Mountains as well as two weeks worth of menus containing the authentic recipes handed down from women who lived in these ancient mountains so long ago.
