Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn (2025)
Renee Swindle
"Francine's Spectacular Crash and Burn manages to be both a story about making bad choices, and a gripping tale of found family. Renee Swindle has written a, well, spectacular page-turner. I cannot wait for readers to get their hands on this novel!"

Inside the Mirror (2024)
Parul Kapur
"Inside the Mirror is a complex and compelling story of a displaced family living in the shadow of post-Partition India. Parul Kapur has written a gorgeous novel about art, independence, and the roots that bind a family together."

Where Waters Meet (2023)
Zhang Ling
"A stunning, gorgeous novel. Zhang Ling's Where Waters Meet is haunting and heartbreaking as it navigates mother-daughter relationships in the face of war and famine. I simply couldn't put it down."
