Dorothea Benton Frank recommends

Where the Rivers Merge (2025)
Mary Alice Monroe
"Magical! Mary Alice Monroe's writing is always sensitive and true, and as inspiring as the natural wonder about which she writes."

The Heirloom Garden (2020)
Viola Shipman
"Every now and then a new voice in fiction arrives to completely charm, entertain and remind us what matters. Viola Shipman is that voice,"

The Bookshop at Water's End (2017)
Patti Callahan Henry
"Patti Callahan Henry has written the best novel of her career with The Bookshop at Water’s End. I absolutely adored it and predict it will be one of the most-loved books of the year. In fact, it’s so good I wish I’d written it myself!"
