Praised by Robbie Robertson of The Band as "a classic & a ticket to ride," The Rose & the Briar assembles an astonishing group of writers and artists: Paul Muldoon, Stanley Crouch, R. Crumb, Jon Langford of the Mekons, Sharyn McCrumb, Luc Sante, Joyce Carol Oates, Dave Marsh, and more than a dozen other novelists, essayists, performers, and critics; to explore the ineffable power of the American ballad. From "Barbara Allen" through "The Wreck of the Old 97" to contemporary ballads by Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, The Rose & the Briar is, as Geoffrey O'Brien hailed in the Los Angeles Times Book Review, "a book full of internal echoes and provocative coincidences," featuring "historical investigation, shamanistic trance-journey, memoir, novella and cartoon," where "names and costumes change, soldiers become cowboys, demon lovers become backwoods murderer; the voices are unmistakably distinct but they share a common ground."

Amy Carmichael wrote Rose from Brier after reflecting that most books of comfort for sick people are written by the well and so miss their mark. Since pain is not always physical, this is a book for all who suffer, as it has been written by the ill, for the ill.

She’s a healer, but a broken church and a broken heart are beyond her skill With the dissolution of the monastery that has been the center of her life imminent, Kate Cressy can’t help but resent Matthew Hartwell, the man sent to her father’s house to value every item of furniture, and his particular attention to her. Without the abbey, she will soon be homeless, and a visit from King Henry VIII himself makes her divided loyalty even more painful. Her one comfort is that among the courtiers will be her secret suitor, Amyas. When Matthew Hartwell bravely saves the King’s life, Kate is called up for her knowledge of healing to aid him. She prefers the sunny charm of Amyas to the dark serious nature of the man who fate keeps putting in her path, but her life is destined to change whatever her choice… A sweet and clean Tudor romance with fascinating historical depth, this story of everyday life in tumultuous religious times will delight fans of Georgette Heyer and Philippa Gregory.
