The year is 1900 and young mother Annaliese Stregal is forced by her husband, John, to leave their comfortable life in Louisville, Kentucky to live in a lumber camp in the north Georgia mountains where he has launched a timber business with his brother. Joining her there with even more outrage and dismay is the prickly sister-in-law she loathes, Lucenia, who is full of opinions about every women’s issue of the day – social justice for the oppressed, equal rights, birth control, the morality of female sexual pleasure – and possessing not one domestic skill. To protect their children and battle the mountain enemies they have in common, the women strike a fragile truce, but a new national controversy is gaining steam: the annihilation of America’s forests, and this one Annaliese cannot ignore. The brothers pick up their pace in scraping their fortune off the pristine hillsides just as John begins to unravel, putting the families’ future in jeopardy. Unlikely help comes from a pair of Cherokee Indian brothers, but it is Annaliese who must act decisively to save John from the grisly reckoning he foresaw all along and save the mountains from him.

Darrell Huckaby

A young lady’s disappearance reveals a decade-old ploy that threatens to shake the very foundations of a small Southern town. Hank Monroe is an ex–Army Ranger, fresh out of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation’s New Agents Class, and his education is just beginning. An outsider to the inner workings and traditions of the deep South, Hank gets more than he bargained for in his first season on the job. Aided by a mysterious, angelic caller, Hank is inspired to delve into the underbelly of deceit and corruption that swirls ominously below the surface of a close-knit community. He seeks the truth that lies hidden behind the façade and pretense of the town’s elite, the truth some will do anything to hide. Hank Monroe will soon learn, in his first growing season as an agent, that all is not what it seems to be—in crime and in love—and that when it comes to murder, there are no winners.

Although the art of tailgating has become much more sophisticated lately, you still have to have the base ingredients: good food, good people, and good times. As any die-hard Dawgs fan will tell you, tailgating is a time honored tradition at the University of Georgia and who better to compile the latest version of the best tailgating cookbook ever than Loran Smith and his wife, Myrna. Much like the World's Greatest Tailgate Recipe (must see the book to get that one!), this cookbook is the complete package featuring color photos, colorful vignettes, and even a foreword by Paula Deen! We also take a glimpse beyond the tailgating atmosphere at some fine dining here in Athens, GA.

Buck Swindle is a native Georgia boy, current resident of Carrollton, Georgia, and former walk-on for the University of Georgia football team. Although he began this book as a memoir for his children and grandchildren, the project took on a life of it's own as if guided by a higher purpose. In Walk-Ons are Welcome, Buck Swindle recounts the life experiences that shaped him—from the lesson of his youth to his days at the University of Georgia and to present day —all of which piece together the story of a South Georgia farm boy and Georgia Bulldog and his journey with Jesus Christ.
