Roots and Paths
By Hirsch, Maurice L., Jr.

AuthorHouse, 2004 

“By turns poignant, humorous, ironic, but never despairing, the poems by Maurice L. Hirsch, Jr., in . . . Roots and Paths are consistently thought-provoking and deeply affecting. Hirsch has a distinctive poetic voice that gives expression to the entire constellation of feelings associated with the human condition—relationships, including marriage and parenthood, and the unpredictability, fragility, and preciousness of life.”—Robert A. Cohn, editor-in-chief/publisher, St. Louis Jewish Light.

THE VIGILANTE
By Jory Sherman
Berkley, 2005

The Vigilante, the first book of a new series, tells the story of Lew Zane who lives in Osage, Arkansas. When his parents are robbed and brutally murdered, Lew goes to the law. But, the killers are the sons of the most prominent citizens in Alpena, Arkansas, and the law turns its back on Zane.  Vowing to avenge his parents' killers, Lew sets out to bring the two killers to justice, but he is thwarted by the courts, the lawmen, and the entire system. So, he must take matters into his own hands and seek justice on his own terms--at the point of a gun. This is a gripping tale set in the 19th century Ozarks with surprises at every turn of the page. The hero faces danger at every turn--from the law and from the killers themselves. Somehow, he must come to grips with his own conscience and honor the memory of his beloved mother and father, who were murdered on his birthday.
