NATIONAL BESTSELLER "Beautiful . . . A striking first novel of love and strength and growth, set against the forests and rivers of Colorado's high country."--Denver Post "With gorgeous descriptions of the great outdoors, an illicit love story, and an unforgettable protagonist, this novel offers something for everyone."--Real Simple Set in Colorado's wild beauty, this heartbreaking coming-of-age story follows a resilient young woman whose life is forever altered by a chance encounter. Seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash manages her family's peach farm in the small town of Iola, Colorado, the only surviving female in a family of troubled men. When she meets Wilson Moon, a young drifter with a mysterious past, their connection ignites passion and danger. After tragedy strikes, Victoria flees into the mountains, struggling to survive in the wilderness without a clear future. As seasons change, she discovers strength and meaning in the harsh landscape, seeking to rebuild her life even as the Gunnison River threatens to submerge her homeland, including her cherished peach orchard. Inspired by true events surrounding the destruction of Iola in the 1960s, this stunning debut explores love amid hardship and the journey to find courage, resilience, friendship, and ultimately, home—where least expected. It reflects on living life like a river—gathering and flowing, finding a way forward even when faced with obstacles.

A STUNNING NEW NOVEL FROM ONE OF THE BEST-SELLING AUTHORS OF ALL TIME! The #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. "I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts. That combo made Hard Case Crime the perfect venue for this book, which is one of my favorites. I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we’re going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book." – Stephen King
