Nuthin' New is a love story but in a different way. It is insightfully written with bittersweet humor, as well as having a slight mystical twist. Nuthin’ New takes one back to the early 1900s, to the bedrock of existence in the Bootheel of Southeast Missouri. Following the draining of the great swamp, dubbed, Swampeast Missouri, 1907/1928, Willow Melton, a beautiful half-Native American woman, is born into a life of poverty. After suffering a near-death illness, followed by a sexual assault, Willow, fighting the scorn of social standing, sets out to make a life for those she holds dear. Eventually, Willow ascends to financial independence as an assistant to an emotionally unstable young doctor, ultimately becoming his devoted lover and lifeline to sanity.
