Rachel Barenbaum recommends
All You Have to Do Is Call (2023)
Kerri Maher
"A brave tour de force that captures the tension and drama of a pivotal moment in women's history. Maher's novel is a powerful and inspiring tribute, a story of sisterhood, resilience, and courage that will stay with readers long after they finish the book. I loved it."
Kissing Kosher (2023)
Jean Meltzer
"Mix a backstabbing babka war, a romance, and a dose of real life pain. Bake until the tension is thick--and you get this soulful novel. Heartfelt and stirring. Delicious."
Graceland (2023)
Nancy Crochiere
"I can't help falling in love with this hair-raising road trip to Graceland! I was hooked on page one of this big-hearted laugh-out-loud debut. Secrets, unexpected turns, and a mother-daughter-grandmother trio show that sometimes the right way can't be found on any map."
