Sweet Vidalia (2024)
Lisa Sandlin
"With her keen understanding of the human heart and a gift for laying it bare on the page, Lisa Sandlin has given us a beautiful story of what it takes to re-build a ruined life from the ground up. Readers will grieve with Eliza Kratke at the shocking upheaval in her marriage. They'll rejoice at her spirit. When they finish the book, they'll miss her. I certainly did."
'Til All These Things Be Done (2022)
Suzanne Moyers
"A serious and intensely gratifying page-turner that places the reader squarely in an era of political, social, and emotional turmoil in Texas. It's also a poignant love story, as Moyers presides over the lives of her characters with tenderness and a sure hand. Love, longing, and the hard persistence of hope shine in this debut novel."
Nobody's Pilgrims (2022)
Sergio Troncoso
"Eloquent, bold and terrifying, Nobody's Pilgrims is a fresh new take on the ancient themes of innocence pursued by evil, and of the young finding their way through a chaotic and uncertain world. Turi, Arnulfo and Molly are original and uniquely endearing, and they're a pleasure to travel with, even on such a frightening journey."
