New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sarah McCoy's new book, The Mapmaker's Children (Crown, hardcover, $25.00, on sale 5/5/15), weaves together the stories of abolitionist Sarah Brown, who uses her paintings to hide maps of the Underground Railroad, woven together with the life of modern woman Eden, who finds the remains of an Underground Railroad doll in her root cellar.

Set during the Anglo-Cherokee War (1758-61), The Last Sister by Courtney McKinney-Whitaker (USC Press, paperback, $19.95) traces young Catie Blair's journey through grief, vengeance, guilt, and love in the unpredictable world of the early American frontier.

In Mary Ellen Taylor's new book, At the Corner of King Street (Berkley, paperback, $16.00, on sale 5/5/15), Addie Morgan is determined to escape the pain and loss she grew up with and live life on her own terms and moves to the country and a new job where she discovers stability, happiness, and love.

In Margaret Bradham Thornton's debut novel, Charleston (Ecco, paperback, $15.99, on sale 5/5/15), Eliza Poinsett, an art historian in London with a charming boyfriend who adores her, hasn't returned to the elegant world of Charleston, SC, since she left for college ten years ago.
