The Family Recipe (2025)
Carolyn Huynh
"Carolyn Huynh offers another deft example of irresistible wit and fast-paced storytelling in her latest novel, The Family Recipe, a whip-smart homage to (and critique of) that most fraught of ideologies - the American dream. This deliciously daring take on a marriage plot novel combines ambitious scope with a host of characters whose desires and struggles root deep into readers' hearts. Huynh has established herself as an inimitable voice of the Vietnamese American diaspora, one whose novels never disappoint."
Red Dog Farm (2025)
Nathaniel Ian Miller
"Nathaniel Ian Miller delivers another reverent, deeply moving study of character and place in Red Dog Farm, a novel wrought with staggering truth and grace. Painted in assured prose, vivid in tenderness and humor, each movement of the story feels like a gift of humanity. You'll emerge from the folds of this remote Icelandic farm as if transported from a sacred place where love has been hard-won, purchased with sweat and honor and enormous stores of emotional truth. Red Dog Farm is a book that will change you."
Strange Folk (2024)
Alli Dyer
"Lush and arresting, Strange Folk transports readers into a transcendent world of Appalachian magic, where secrets and desire continue to shape each generation. With warm-hearted insight, sharp detail, and richly rendered characters, Alli Dyer's stirring debut captures the radiance of a community where the old traditions stubbornly refuse to die. A captivating novel for those who feel deeply the connection to land and legacy."
