From the author of The Actual & Truthful Adventures of Becky Thatcher and Nooks & Crannies comes a “whimsical, heartwarming,” (Kirkus Reviews) and profound tale of love, loss, and family. Eleven-year-old Benjamin Putter has a lump in his throat, and he’s certain it’s a golf ball. He knows it sounds crazy, but everything’s been topsy-turvy since his father died last month. And he doesn’t know how to fix it. Then, one day, something starts tugging at Ben, telling him to hurry to Augusta, Georgia—home of the most famous golf course in the world. Ben might be going a little crazy, but escaping Hilltop, Alabama, sounds like a darn good idea. (And just maybe it will make that lump go away.) As he makes his way to Augusta, Ben partners up with a mysterious runaway named Noni, and they embark on a journey full of strange and wonderful surprises—and possibly magic—at every turn.

Bostonian Abby Banes becomes the pampered mistress of a plantation on Georgia's glorious seacoast when she marries the much older Eli Allyn.

The Cottage Woman is a human story, a daring, and true story. This ancient, wise woman became a spiritual guide, a telescope, a therapist, and a friend. She helped those who visited her to navigate relationships, health crises, and daily challenges. The reader will also be introduced to a multi-dimensional reality: streams of consciousness, the other side, and that death is not the word she used. The cottage woman invited us to see further, to climb the mountain higher. Like a telescope that looks into the heavens, just when we thought we had seen it all, the lens expanded, she replaced the old with the new, and we were challenged to go further. She stretched us beyond our limits, our three dimensional knowing to discover, physical reality is not the total reality. A bigger story exists under us and beyond us.
