Every Moment Since (2024)
Marybeth Mayhew Whalen
"EVERY MOMENT SINCE is a masterpiece, an important study of humanity, grief, and especially hope in the aftermath of unfathomable trauma. In her best work yet, Whalen expertly and delicately paints an unflinchingly real picture of what happens to a family and a town when weathered scars are opened anew. EVERY MOMENT SINCE will deeply resonate with all readers. I couldn't put it down!"
The Girls We Sent Away (2024)
Meagan Church
"Powerful and affecting, THE GIRLS WE SENT AWAY underscores both the worst and best of the human heart, and the resilience and courage of women forced to walk away from their dreams to piece together new ones. Meagan Church's sophomore novel is another important masterpiece, shining a light on a horrible bit of women's history that the world would rather keep in a darkened corner."
Enchanted Hill (2023)
Emily Bain Murphy
"Evocative and compelling from the first sentence, Murphy's Enchanted Hill artfully transports the reader to the storied mansion of a 1930s Hollywood magnate where the silver screen sparkle blinds guests to the seedy underbelly housed in its halls - which is just as well for Cora, who is hiding secrets of her own after growing up on an isolated prison island. Mysterious, romantic, rich with historical detail, and impeccably written, Enchanted Hill is impossible to put down, the kind of novel that made me fall in love with historical fiction!"
