Book excerpt: 1971. Lilac Welsh lives an isolated life with her parents at Rough Rock on the Winnipeg River. Her father, Kal, stern and controlling, has built his wealth by designing powerful guns and ammunition. He's on the cusp of producing a .50 calibre assault rifle that can shoot down an airplane with a single bullet, when a young stranger named Gavin appears at their door, wanting to meet him before enlisting for the war in Vietnam. Gavin's arrival sparks an emotional explosion in Lilac's home and inspires her to begin her own life as a journalist, reporting on the war that's making her family rich. The Gunsmith's Daughter is both a coming-of-age story and an allegorical novel about Canada-US relations. Psychologically and politically astute, and gorgeously written, Margaret Sweatman's portrait of a brilliant gunsmith and his eighteen-year-old daughter tells an engrossing story of ruthless ambition, and one young woman's journey toward independence.

Book excerpt: This unique collection of William Dean Howells' complete short stories has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards. William Dean Howells (1837-1920) was an American realist author, literary critic, and playwright. Nicknamed "The Dean of American Letters", he was particularly known for his tenure as editor of the Atlantic Monthly as well as his own prolific writings, including the Christmas story "Christmas Every Day", and the novels The Rise of Silas Lapham and A Traveler from Altruria. Howells is known to be the father of American realism, and a denouncer of the sentimental novel. He was the first American author to bring a realist aesthetic to the literature of the United States. His stories of Boston upper crust life set in the 1850s are highly regarded among scholars of American fiction.

Book excerpt: The Gunsmith - 463 Three women meet and bond over the fact that they have all "been with" Clint Adams, the Gunsmith. In fact, one-the youngest-explains that she has had a baby, and is now looking for Clint, to come back and be the baby's father. The other two women agree to help her search. However, when they do manage to find Clint, while he remembers being with the two older women, he has no memory of the younger one. But he agrees to take the woman back to her child and help her find who the real father is. At the same time, the family of a man he killed after a poker game is on his trail. The father, uncles, brothers, and cousins are determined to take revenge. Will a distracted and outnumbered Gunsmith fall victim to their thirst for vengeance?
