Mary Alice Monroe recommends
Pearce Oysters (2024)
Joselyn Takacs
"Pearce Oysters tears back the veil and reveals the crude realities of the biggest oil spill in history. Takacs shows an extraordinary talent for describing the gritty lives of a proud oyster family caught in the emotional undertow of lies and loss, denial and perseverance. Eye opening and compelling, I couldn't put it down."
The Girl Who Kept the Castle (2024)
(Girl Who Kept the Castle, book 1)
Ryan Graudin
"The Girl Who Kept the Castle has it all--an enchanted castle, dead wizard, vegetarian dragon, ancient talking cat, and a bighearted girl determined to save the place she loves. This heartwarming page-turner will thrill fans of fantasy fiction--and all readers!"
What the Mountains Remember (2024)
Joy Callaway
"WHAT THE MOUNTAINS REMEMBER brings the reader to the lush landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains with an elegant group of famous society glampers to observe the construction of the fabled Grove Park Inn. A young woman confronts class distinction and the restraints of a woman's place set against the hardscrabble lives of the laborers. Joy Calloway weaves a dramatic, heartfelt story of self-discovery and a hard-won love against the stunning backdrop the 'Eighth Wonder of the World."
