Read a preview of Jill McCorkle's new novel, HIEROGLYPHICS, in the Ferris Beach e-book. "An amazing novel."- Sarah Dessen Ferris Beach is a place where excitement and magic coexist. Or so Mary Katherine "Katie" Burns, the only child of middle-aged Fred and Cleva Burns, believes. Shy and self-conscious, she daydreams about Ferris Beach, where her beautiful cousin, Angela, leads a romantic, mysterious life. It is the early 1970s, and when the land across the road from the Burns's historic house is sold to developers, Misty Rhodes-also from Ferris Beach-and her flamboyant parents move into the nearest newly built split-level. In contrast to Katie's composed, reserved, practical mother, Misty and her mother are everything Katie wants to be: daring, outrageous, fun. The two girls become inseparable, sharing every secret, every dream-until one fateful Fourth of July, when their lives change in a way they could never have imagined. In this classic McCorkle novel, the author's shrewd grasp of human nature creates characters that resonate with truth and emotion, and a story perfect for mothers and daughters to share and cherish. Jill McCorkle has the distinction of having published her first two novels on the same day in 1984. Of these novels, the New York Times Book Review said: "one suspects the author of The Cheer Leader is a born novelist. With July 7th, she is also a full grown one." Since then she has published five other novels-most recently, Hieroglyphics-- and four collections of short stories. Five of her books have been named New York Times notable books and four of her stories have appeared in Best American Short Stories. McCorkle has received the New England Booksellers Award, the John Dos Passos Prize for Excellence in Literature, the North Carolina Award for Literature and the Thomas Wolfe Prize; she was recently inducted into the NC Literary Hall of Fame. McCorkle has taught at Harvard, Brandeis and NC State where she remains affiliated with the MFA Program in creative writing and she is core faculty in the Bennington Writing Seminars. "Beautiful and inspired . . . Rich with interesting characters." -The Philadelphia Inquirer -Vogue "Delightful . . . A novel about family secrets, identity crises, and mother-daughter standoffs." -Vogue -The Cincinnati Enquirer "Ferris Beachis believable. And funny. And heartbreaking. But most of all, it's a joy to read." -The Cincinnati Enquirer [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15218175 [pa] => [publisher] => Algonquin Books [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
