The Wilderness of Girls (2024)
Madeline Claire Franklin
"Like a news story woven from the threads of a fairytale, The Wilderness of Girls is beautiful, complex, and sure to leave you thinking long after you close its covers."
The Pecan Children (2024)
Quinn Connor
"A Southern Gothic, pecan-scented fever dream of a novel. Beautiful, haunting, and very unique."
Familia (2023)
Lauren E Rico
"A page-turning story of family lost and found, wrapped in the tangled threads of an engaging mystery, and sprinkled with just a bit of Sazon, I loved everything about this modern yet timeless book."
