The Roots of the Olive Tree

The Roots of the Olive Tree

Courtney Miller Santo

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS INC
2013
nidottu
An extraordinary new voice in contemporary woman's fiction, Courtney Miller Santo makes her magnificent debut with The Roots of the Olive Tree, a novel that will delight fans of Sarah Blake's The Postmistress, The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, and the works of Kristin Hannah. Five generations of firstborn Keller women live in the same house on an olive grove in secluded northern California. Matriarch Anna is 112 and trying to be the oldest woman in the world--and succeeding heartily. Her daughter Bets, granddaughter Callie, great-granddaughter Deb, and great-great granddaughter Erin are also defying longevity norms. When a geneticist comes to study the women at the same time Erin announces she is pregnant with a firstborn boy, the Kellers' roots are shaken wide open. Told in the third-person perspective of each of the women, their story--the secrets and lies that divide them and the love that ultimately ties them together--is revealed in compulsive prose and compassionate drive.

Renovating an historic Memphis house together, three cousins discover that their spectacular failures in love, career, and family provide the foundation for their future happiness in this warm and poignant novel from the author of The Roots of the Olive Tree that is reminiscent of The Postmistress, The Secret Life of Bees, and Kristin Hannah's novels.Nearing thirty and trying to avoid the inescapable fact that they have failed to live up to everyone's expectations and their own aspirations, cousins and childhood best friends Lizzie, Elyse, and Isobel seek respite in an oddly-shaped, three-story house that sits on a bluff sixty feet above the Mississippi.As they work to restore the almost condemned house, each woman faces uncomfortable truths about their own failings. Lizzie seeks answers to a long-held family secret about her father in her grandmother's jumble of mementos and the home's hidden spaces. Elyse's obsession with an old flame leads her to a harrowing mistake that threatens to destroy her sister's wedding, and Isobel's quest for celebrity tempts her to betray confidences in ways that would irreparably damage her two cousins.Told in three parts from the perspective of each of the women, this sharply observed account of the restoration of a house built out of spite, but filled with memories of love is also an account of friendship and how relying on each other's insights and strengths provides the women a way to get what they need instead of what they want.

Can David Ludwig Emerge from His Fugue? Was He Set Up ... or Did He Murder His Family? The Wet Mountain Valley Sheriff's Office has its hands full when they must not only deal with solving a homicide, but, with limited resources, must call in the CBI and deal with an arrogant and closed-minded agent. White Feather, an old Cherokee medicine man, uses his unique skills to compete with the local Sheriff's Office to solve mysteries. He sometimes compliments but more often complicates the more traditional investigating methods of local law enforcement. Sam Morrison, fired from the Denver Police Homicide Division, accepts a job in the beautiful Wet Mountain Valley Sheriff's Office just in time to work on the Ludwig murders. Can he solve the crime? Will his personal life that caused his ex-wife to flee from him complicate his ability to work? And, will Sam be able to put his life and his family back together again? Set in the scenic, rural Wet Mountain Valley of southern Colorado, the White Feather Mysteries are a delightful cross between "Cozy Mystery" and "Geezer Lit". Multiple book award-winning author Courtney Miller will keep you guessing until the end "A cunningly crafted mystery. Take a triple homicide in a small, Colorado mountain town, add a cast of intriguing characters--almost none of whom are completely innocent--and you have Ludwig's Fugue. Courtney Miller sets this terrific plot into motion and doesn't let up until the final, spine-tingling surprise." --Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of Winter's Child

Are the ghosts of St. Jude real, an illusion, or avenging souls from the past?Why are the ghosts drawn to crazy Lizzie? Are the origins of Lizzie's madness the key? The ageless Cherokee sleuth, White Feather, is back with his bungling old geezer friends to solve another mystery at the St. Jude Methodist Retirement Center for the Indigent. This time he must solve the riddles in a mad woman's love letter and dig deep into the labyrinthian past of St. Jude to find the cause of mysterious deaths discovered in the dungeon-like basement of the ancient building--corpses that suggest the bowels of St. Jude were once a catacomb for an insane asylum gone awry. Find out what happens when the eccentric, lovable and comical old geezer residents of St. Jude team up with their enigmatic Cherokee friend to try to solve a complex crime. Will they become the next victims of the mysterious ghosts? Will they finally wind up in jail this time? Or will the skills obtained in their previous lives be an asset in solving this twisting and heart-breaking tragedy? About Miller's writing: A mystery that will keep readers guessing about the truth until the ending. The ... parallel investigation involves the Indian using tribal methods and his own intelligence and the efforts of the authorities. ... Suspense is maintained in alternating chapters between the two investigations as clues are followed, evidence examined, and conflicts semi-resolved. ... The writing is clear with many short chapters and good subheads to enable fluid reading. The dialogue, including good use of interior monologue, is credible and convincing.--Writer's Digest]
