Echoes of Us (2024)
Joy Jordan-Lake
"There's a little-known story that my mother-in-law handed down to me: the sighting of German U-boats off the Georgia Coast during WWII. Brilliant historical fiction novelist Joy Jordan-lake takes this family tale of war-time heroism and creates a heavily-researched dual timeline page-turner, carving out compelling characters caught in dangerous situations they would never have anticipated. Historical mystery at its very finest from one of the best practitioners of the genre."
Crazy To Leave You (2022)
Marilyn Simon Rothstein
"Reading a book by Marilyn Simon Rothstein is like sitting at the fun table at a wedding, listening to all an insider's funny stories about the blessed event's guests, and those she unsparingly tells on herself. Marilyn Simon Rothstein makes me laugh - and reminds me that even in a comic novel, the emotional dynamics in a nosy, tight-knit Jewish family with three competitive daughters can be as twisted as they are laughable. In Rothstein's third hilarious novel, we follow the victim of a brutal hit-and-runaway groom, a bride with a ticking biological clock and a brilliant Manhattan advertising career. Despite her bona fides, this abandoned singleton has no way to spin the mortifying situation she finds herself in - dumped at the altar by a weakling who announces his plan by texting her sister. Will she ever love again? Will she ever stop eating to fill the hole he left? You'll find out, and if you're like me, you'll be waiting for this author's next book."
Neglect (2021)
Kim Wozencraft
"An ambitious, prescient, wise page-turner, Neglect turns on an educated, underemployed Upstate New York mother who crashes and burns through the social safety net. Out of financial hardship, she enlists in the Army Reserve only to be deployed to Afghanistan in 2015. Traumatized by multiple wartime experiences, she returns home with PTSD, turns to the bottle and becomes entangled with the social service bureaucracy that separates her from the very thing in the world she loves most--her twins. The chilling and empathetic novel about America's neglect of the working middle class is an indictment of the Kafkaesque institutions that, through red tape and apathy, have neglected rural America's dispossessed."
