<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A sixteen-year-old biracial girl in rural Oregon in the 1920s searches for the truth about her father's death while avoiding trouble from the Ku Klux Klan in this YA historical novel inspired by Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A thrilling reimagining of Shakespeare's <i>Hamlet</i>, <i>The Steep and Thorny Way </i>tells the story of a murder most foul and the mighty power of love and acceptance in a state gone terribly rotten. <br> 1920s Oregon is not a welcoming place for Hanalee Denney, the daughter of a white woman and an African-American man. She has almost no rights by law, and the Ku Klux Klan breeds fear and hatred in even Hanalee's oldest friendships. Plus, her father, Hank Denney, died a year ago, hit by a drunk-driving teenager. Now her father's killer is out of jail and back in town, and he claims that Hanalee's father wasn't killed by the accident at all but, instead, was poisoned by the doctor who looked after him--who happens to be Hanalee's new stepfather. <br> The only way for Hanalee to get the answers she needs is to ask Hank himself, a "haint" wandering the roads at night. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Setting Hanalee in the backdrop of Prohibition-era Oregon, punched up with bootleggers, a hidden gay relationship, the public and private face of the Ku Klux Klan, and a dash of the supernatural makes for a delightfully unpredictable page-turner. VERDICT Unique and riveting historical fiction that feels anything but dated."</p> <br>-- "School Library Journal"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> " A powerful, gripping, and exceptionally well-executed glimpse into a little-known corner of U.S. history."-- "Booklist"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "A fast-paced read with multiple twists, the novel delivers a history lesson wrapped inside a murder mystery and ghost story. Winters deftly captures the many injustices faced by marginalized people in the years following World War I as well as a glimmer of hope for the better America to come. A riveting story of survival, determination, love, and friendship."-- "Kirkus"<br><br>"History, mystery...for <i>To Kill A Mockingbird</i> fans."-- "Justine Magazine"<br><br>This is genre-pushing historical fiction that will surprise and enlighten readers. -- "Horn Book Magazine"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Cat Winters</b> is the author of <i>The Cure for Dreaming</i> and<i> In the Shadow of Blackbirds</i>, which collected three starred reviews and was a finalist for the William C.
