End of August (2025)
Paige Dinneny
"This debut novel deftly pulls you into the world of Aurora Taylor, a teenage girl whose dysfunctional family often places her at the precipice of danger with nothing but her own instincts to keep her safe. And yet, although they don't always make the best choices, Aurora's mother and grandmother clearly love her as best they can, messy and imperfect as love sometimes is. And as each family member faces their demons - sometimes winning those battles and sometimes not - this family shows us that sometimes we don't get a fairytale ending, but there is always hope in a new beginning."
Embers on the Wind (2022)
Lisa Williamson Rosenberg
"A vital stop along the Underground Railroad, the historic Whittaker House should be a symbol of freedom and hope. Instead, it cries and whispers into the modern era, telling stories of all that was risked and lost by those who sought refuge there. Throughout this spellbinding, heartbreaking novel, Lisa Williamson Rosenberg weaves a tapestry from the lives that are bound to one another through a singular event. As this shared history comes into focus, readers come to understand the poignant and devastating impact of one word: almost."
