"All Jessup wants is to enjoy his senior year at Cortaca High and get a scholarship to attend college. It doesn't seem impossible. He's a standout varsity football player. A good student. He works at the local movie theater to help his mother make ends meet. But it's hard to live a normal life when everybody in town knows that your stepfather is a white supremacist--a white supremacist who was involved in a violent encounter with two young black college students. And who is about to be released from prison. But his stepfather, David John, also saved Jessup's family from imploding, rescuing his mother and giving Jessup and his siblings a safe home for the first time. David John's release from prison sets off a chain of events that will forever define Jessup's entry into adulthood, dragging him into the swirling currents of irreconcilable ideologies, crushing loyalties, and unshakeable guilt."-- Provided by publisher

The Kings family has lived on Loosewood Island for three hundred years, blessed with the bounty of the sea. But this blessing comes with a curse: the loss of every firstborn son. Woody Kings, leader of the island's lobstering community, now teeters on the throne which Cordelia, his oldest daughter, stands to inherit. To do so, however, she must defend her island from mainland meth dealers while navigating sibling rivalry and the vulnerable nature of her own heart.

In Sawgamet, a gold mining village gone bust, the cold of winter breaks the glass of the schoolhouse thermometer, and the dangers of working in the cuts are overshadowed by the mysteries and magic lurking in the woods.
