Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1926, ninety year-old Charles Goodnight faces the reality that his life will end soon. His accomplishments are legendary as one of the early cattlemen to blaze the Goodnight-Loving Trail and the first to settle permanently in Comancheria. J. Evetts Haley, a young historian collecting folklore for the local historical society, forges a close bond with Goodnight as the elder plainsman shares the memories of his life. As Goodnight fights the urge to free his conscience of a dark secret, his reminiscences turn to the events leading up to the Civil War and during Reconstruction when the frontier of Texas is in chaos. And amidst this chaos emerges Goodnight’s close friend and former Texas Ranger R. L. Terry, who returns home to find his house in flames, his wife mortally wounded, and his two boys hauled away into captivity. As his eldest boy becomes fully Indianized under the tutelage of Quanah Parker, fighting desperately to defend their homelands in the Indian Wars of the 1860s and 70s, R.L.’s desperate search for his sons parallels the relentless passing of the old ways and leads in the end to a revelatory meeting of lives destined from the beginning. Stone’s breathtaking storytelling pushes the conventions of historical fiction, deftly weaving the tragic captivity narrative into the calamitous clash of cultures that defined the settlement of the American West. Hailed by critics, The Beauty of the Days Gone By announces Jason Stone as a major new writer of American fiction.

Book excerpt: NOMINATED FOR THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY ONE OF NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NONFICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE LONGLISTED FOR THE RSL ONDAATJE PRIZE The acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Velazquez shares a riveting true story “with as many twists and turns as any mystery” (Los Angeles Times) describing her mother’s mysterious kidnapping as a toddler in a small English coastal village—“an incredible and incredibly unusual book about family secrets” (Nick Hornby, The Believer). In the fall of 1929, when Laura Cumming’s mother was three years old, she was kidnapped from a beach on the Lincolnshire coast of England. There were no screams when she was taken, suggesting the culprit was someone familiar to her, and when she turned up again in a nearby village several days later, she was happy and in perfect health. No one was ever accused of a crime. The incident quickly faded from her memory, and her parents never discussed it. To the contrary, they deliberately hid it from her, and she did not learn of it for half a century. This was not the only secret her parents kept from her. For many years, while raising her in draconian isolation and protectiveness, they also hid the fact that she’d been adopted, and that shortly after the kidnapping, her name was changed from Grace to Betty. “Both page-turning and richly absorbing” (The Providence Journal), On Chapel Sands (originally titled Five Days Gone) unspools the tale of Cumming’s mother’s life and unravels the multiple mysteries at its core. Using photographs from the time, historical documents, and works of art, Cumming investigates this case of stolen identity w​ith the toolset of a detective and the unique intimacy of a daughter trying to understand her family’s past and its legacies. “Brilliant” (The Guardian) and “a story told with such depth of feeling and observation and such lyrical writing I couldn’t put it down” (Anna Quindlen), On Chapel Sands is a masterful blend of memoir and history, an extraordinary personal narrative unlike any other.
