Sara Paretsky's genius made Chicago private eye V.I. Warshawski a household name. Now the New York Times bestselling author explores an unseen corner of the city she loves. In Ghost Country she has written a parable for the millennium, a powerful, haunting novel of magic and miracles, of four troubled people who meet beneath Chicago's shadowy streets--and of the woman whose mysterious appearance changes all of their lives forever. They come from different worlds and meet at a time of crisis for all of them. Luisa, a drunken diva fallen on hard times, discovers on Chicago's streets a drama greater than any she has experienced onstage. Madeleine, a homeless woman, sees the Virgin Mary's blood seeping through a concrete wall beneath a luxury hotel. Mara, a rebellious adolescent cast out by her wealthy grandfather, becomes the catalyst for a war between the haves and have-nots as she searches among society's castoffs for the mother she never knew. As the three women fight for their right to live and worship beneath the hotel, they find an ally in Hector Tammuz, an idealistic young psychiatrist risking his career to treat the homeless regardless of the cost. Tensions in the city are escalating when a mysterious woman appears during a violent storm. Erotic to some, repellent to others, she never speaks; the street people call her Starr. And as she slowly transforms their lives, miracles begin to happen in a city completely unprepared for the outcome. In this extraordinary novel, Sara Paretsky gives voice to the dispossessed, to men and women struggling to bury the ghosts of the past, fighting for their lives in a world hungry for miracles, terrified of change. A magical, unforgettable story of myth and madness, hope and revelation, Ghost Country is Sara Paretsky's most eloquent and ambitious work yet.

“In a sober and carefully understated voice I say: this is a damn good poet.” Al Purdy on Backing into Heaven Ghost Country enters the difficult electric air between cultures and lovers, alive to the fierce exoticism of desire but also to its confusions, its political and personal dissonances. Set in contemporary China, these poems spring from the intense anguished observations of the lover of a culture who is also, inescapably, the outsider. Lyrical, candid, tough, they are rooted in a passionate honesty that refuses to sentimentalize or look away. In Steve Noyes we have a writer who has steadily hewed to his own course, producing writing with its own unforgettable tang. I turned from you. One look back – your face wet, eyes downcast – then one look back ramified, became a city of return, where mind as emperor holds court endlessly with the heart. From “The Middle Kingdom” “Ghost Country is not so much a book of poetry as the rangefinder of an exquisite camera, in which two worlds merge to form a single, rich vision. To read this book is to walk into this vision, to breathe its air, to speak its language. It’s a journey worth taking, one that will linger long after the last page is turned.” — Terence Young It Is Just That Your House is So Far Away, a novel by Steve Noyes In Ghost Country the sequence ‘The Middle Kingdom’ shows the reader oblique bits of a cross-cultural romance; in Steve Noyes’ novel It Is Just That Your House Is So Far Away, the reader is inside the full story, travelling the narrow lanes and crowded homes of Haidian, Beijing, as a Canadian man and a Chinese woman pursue true love — or at least a place to not get stared at.

Carrying echoes of Amy Tan and Rebecca Wells, Ghost Country takes the reader into the lives of three Cherokee women and the lives of their modern day daughters. Told in a series of vignettes that alternate from the era of the Civil Rights Movement, Woodstock, and the Vietnam War, to the present day. Each story carries the reader through a world where a birthday wish can make people disappear; where a child, after being told that she is nothing, can find her way back to the forgotten Cherokee traditions; and where a woman can give her daughter a treasured bit of advice thanks to a dead rock star.

The first part of the story of pioneering white Americans and Cherokee Indians who went West on The Trail of Tears. There they established a family of White Indians (the title of Part Two). To get there they had to cross Yun'wi gunahi'ta, The Long Man, a name for rivers, which, in this instance, was the Mississippi River. Abe MacKay, of Ulster Irish ancestry, falls in love with Tsuta, a woman of the Real People (Cherokees), whom Abe and his father are helping the American government drive from their native lands in Tennessee and Georgia.
