"An. . .evocatively written work about finding and preserving kinship."-Kirkus Reviews
Caddo Parish, 1913. On an October morning, a Klansman confronts seventeen-year-old David Walker at a hidden oxbow lake where he has gone to hunt. David accidentally kills the man and hides the crime. His determination to protect his family from reprisal drives him far from home and into manhood.
Shreveport, 1927. Cargie (rhymes with Margie) Barre and Mae Compton are two vastly different young women, but both are defying convention to reach for their dreams. The men in Cargie's and Mae's lives help and hinder them in more ways than one. After years in hiding, David Walker finally resurfaces, and we discover the past is never as far from the present as it seems.

About the Author
Reviews
"Simonds is a wonderfully talented author and evokes the old South in astonishing detail in Stork Bite, making us feel we're sitting in on a long, sumptuous, serial film production. But don't think it's mere eye candy--like the best period dramas, there's plenty of social commentary here. The book starts off with an unintentional murder and continues to spin the story of the aftermath, interlocking different lives and destinies with characters that will live in your brain long after you close the last page. Highly recommended!" Linore Burkard, author.
