Looking for a Soft Place to Land is a poetry book that weaves together freedom, love, despair, and politics.

From the award-winning author of Bound South comes a powerful, moving novel of family loss and sisterly redemption. For more than ten years, Naomi and Phil Harrison enjoyed a marriage of heady romance, tempered only by the needs of their children. But on a vacation alone, the couple perishes in a flight over the Grand Canyon. After the funeral, their daughters, Ruthie and Julia, are shocked by the provisions in their will…not the least of which is that they are to be separated. Spanning nearly two decades, the sisters’ journeys take them from their familiar home in Atlanta to sophisticated bohemian San Francisco, a mountain town in Virginia, the campus of Berkeley, and lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. As they heal from loss, search for love, and begin careers, their sisterhood, once an oasis, becomes complicated by resentment, anger, and jealousy. It seems as though the echoes of their parents’ deaths will never stop reverberating—until another shocking accident changes everything once again.

Another wonderfully warm and addictive tale from Michael Coatesworth. We accompany him on a journey which takes us from him growing up in the 1950s through very testing times to almost present day. A thought provoking tale of one man's sometimes difficult and traumatic journey through life and those people who touched his life along the way. Discipline at home was strict and harsh and when his father decides that it's time that he stood on his own two feet he turns him out on to the streets at the tender age of 14. It is heart-warming that after so much heartache and upset the author finds a woman to marry and share his life with. Without her unwavering support, from the good times to the sometimes very bad, a new family unit is formed to provide the love, support and companionship which was sometimes lacking in his earlier years.
