Randall
Platt Incommunicado (Sky Pony Press) Patriotism
blossoms into paranoia when the residents of a small, Oregon Coast town turn on
its leading citizen, a Japanese-American, in the first turbulent months of
World War Two. The town’s most bullied girl, a dopey bloodhound, and a
weak-kneed priest join forces to stand up for what is right.
Susan Marsh War Creek (MP Publishing) When ostracized daughter Agnes Clayton, now in
her thirties and alone, returns to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest after a
life in various western cities, she is determined to make moving her father out
of their family home at the old War Creek Ranger Station as quick and painless
as possible. Reconnecting with her estranged father, a retired forest ranger,
proves difficult at best, and extracting him from his fiercely beloved ranger
station seems impossible. Over the course of a long summer Agnes becomes
entangled with opposing forces in an isolated rural community in the North
Cascades. Agnes hopes to answer questions from her past and find not only
closure but redemption.
Susan Marsh A Hunger for High Country, part memoir and part profile of place, is set in the mountains
surrounding Yellowstone National Park. As a woman in the U.S. Forest Service
and one of many professionals hired by the agency in response to environmental
laws passed during the 1960s and 1970s, the author finds that her background
and values often place her at odds with the agency she works for, and her dream
job in Montana ends in sorrow and frustration after six years of trying to fit
in. Humbled by her failures and the part she played in her downfall, she begins
again in the mountains of western Wyoming. Here she comes to understand that
technical expertise and excellence do not bring the success she hopes for,
while the beauty and grace of the wild world shines new light on her personal world
and the importance of conserving the national forests. Her journey of deeper
self-awareness brings greater understanding of the relationship between people
and nature and what that relationship can teach us all.
