Ten years ago, Tess Cross left her newborn daughter with her sister and hightailed it out of what she called NoWhere, Colorado. Now she returns to the eastern plains of Colorado, full of raw rage at herself and at the universe, yearning for the life she never lead and the daughter she left behind. As someone who has been running drugs and illegal immigrants once they're beyond the U.S.–Mexico border, she's knowingly entered into a harsh and dangerous world. Before completing the only courageous action she can think of, Tess must now face her dying mother, her sister, her daughter, and, most importantly, herself. Laura Pritchett's Red Lightning (Counterpoint) broaches timely topics essential in the West with suspense and gritty wisdom as well as her trademark lyricism and grace.

We first met hardscrabble ranchers Renny and Ben Cross in Laura Pritchett's debut collection, and now, in Stars Go Blue (Counterpoint), they are estranged elderly spouses living on opposite ends of their sprawling ranch, faced with the particular decline of a fading farm and Ben's struggle with Alzheimer's disease. Stars Go Blue is a triumphant novel of the American family, buffered by the workings of a ranch and the music offered by the landscape and animal life upon it.
