MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteIf the Creek Don’t Rise: A Novel, by Leah Weiss (Sourcebooks Landmark, $15.99) “This debut novel set in a small North Carolina Appalachian village is full of strong Southern voices. Among them is Sadie Blue, a child bride who realizes in a matter of days that she has made a mistake in marrying the ne’er-do-well Roy Lupkin, and Kate Shaw, who answers Minister Eli Perkins’ ad for a teacher for the children of Baines Creek. As Kate begins to make a difference in the lives of her students, she realizes they are returning the compliment. Kate offers to teach Sadie Blue to read, helping her to make another life for herself. Each of the characters will touch your heart, and you will cheer for their victories!” —Elizabeth Merritt, Titcomb’s Bookshop, East Sandwich, MA
