A more manageable number of free titles today. I'll start with this one from New Pulp Press.

The Bastard Hand by Heath Lowrance. Mystery/thriller with lots of good reviews. The description intrigues.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Bastard-Ha...8743431&sr=1-1

Charlie Wesley is not right in the head. He’s escaped from a mental hospital up north and hitchhiked his way south, the voice of his dead brother urging him on. But when Charlie hits Memphis, the fine line between his delusions and reality shift in the form of the Reverend Phineas Childe—a preacher bent on booze and women; a Man of God with a dark agenda. Charlie is the perfect pawn in the Reverend’s game of retribution. And the small North Mississippi town of Cuba Landing will be the setting for the Reverend’s very personal Apocalypse. . . .

Breaking TWIG by Deborah Epperson
http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-TWIG-...8744195&sr=1-1

Set in rural Georgia in the 1960s, BREAKING TWIG is a coming-of-age novel about Becky (Twig) Cooper, a young woman trying to survive the physical and emotional abuse of her mother, Helen, a beautiful, calculating woman who can, with a mere look, send the meanest cur in Sugardale, Georgia running for its life. Not even Twig’s vivid imagination, keen wit, and dark sense of humor is enough to help her survive the escalating assaults of Helen and a new stepbrother, but help comes from an unexpected source—Frank, her stepfather. Sometimes, having one person who loves and believes in you is all a girl needs to keep hope alive.

Often raw and irreverent and sprinkled with all the Southern flavoring found in a good bowl of chicken and dumplings, BREAKING TWIG, is about finding love where we least expect it, destroying lives with easy lies, and realizing each of us determine our own truth.

Rain by Leigh K. Cunningham. Another family relationship fiction story set in the 1960s Australia. Blurb says this won an indie award. Sample first as I didn't care for it.
http://www.amazon.com/Rain-ebook/dp/...8745006&sr=1-1

Set in provincial Australia in the early sixties, Rain is a multigenerational family saga that chronicles the lives of three generations of the Wallin sawmilling dynasty. It explores the often difficult but enduring ties between mothers and daughters, men and women: the sacrifices, compromises, and patterns of emotion that repeat themselves through generations.

In a journey that spans four decades and crosses the globe, Rain is an epic tale of the choices and consequences that comprise one family’s history. By turn dark and amusing, Rain delivers an emotionally charged revelation about love, loss, guilt, self-discovery and redemption. The enduring question of family bonds, escapable or not, divides, conquers, and triumphs.

Adding a wild card.

It Doesn't Make It Alright by Richard Wiseman
http://www.amazon.com/It-Doesnt-Make...8747981&sr=1-2

This is a story of prejudices; the intellectual, class, gender and race prejudices of 1981 are presented through the lives of young and old people in one town over one summer. It's the story of three week-ends in a fictional north of London commuter town during the summer of 1981. Against the back drop of unemployment and riots in Britain an unwilling young working class hero comes of age politically. Rob Clenton is part of the skinhead scene and halfheartedly assists a local National front thug, soon finding, though, that National Front politics don't suit him. Involved in local crime and heading for prison Rob becomes politicized by his personal experiences and comes to see that it isn't race, but class that's the problem in Thatcher's Britain.
The novel also follows the life of Rob's sister, Annette, and her struggle to overcome the prejudice people have for working class girls with academic ambitions; it follows the life of a pregnant rich girl and her working class boyfriend; it follows the life of a young Afro-Caribbean boy and his white girl friend; it follows the life of an academic Asian boy and his shop owner father; it follows the life of a factory owner and his philandering son; it follows lives of the rich and the poor, the Black, the White and the Asian, the religious and the evil. In this book the lives of all these people intertwine and interconnect in dramatic, tragic and sometimes funny events.
With strong language, violent scenes and challenging moments 'It Doesn't Make It Alright' is a gritty and stark reflection of Britain in 1981.
