The Earthquake Child (2023)
Elayne Klasson
"A riveting familial rollercoaster, The Earthquake Child portrays one mother's determination to raise a child. Bravo to Elayne Klasson for so honestly describing the ripple effects of adoption, for child, birth parents, and adoptive parents. This is a gripping story wrought with emotion and truth."
The Hidden Life of Aster Kelly (2023)
Katherine A Sherbrooke
"Sherbrooke writes both the fashion and entertainment worlds with such authority, it's hard to decide whether to applaud this book more for its deft use of setting or for the plot twists that had me gobbling up pages in record time...THE HIDDEN LIFE OF ASTER KELLY also delivers when it comes to the characters of Aster and Lissy, a mother and daughter entangled in a web of lies stemming only from the best of intentions. Immersive setting, original story, and true emotion, this book is a triple threat."
Zero O'Clock (2021)
C J Farley
"Zero O'Clock is a beautiful and timely YA novel that is both heartbreaking and whip smart, a glimpse into the world of virtual friendship, classrooms, and pop stardom."
