The Queen of the Valley (2023)
(Puri's Travels, book 2)
Lorena Hughes
"A tale as rich and complex as the finest chocolate."
A Woman of Endurance (2022)
Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa
"Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa's novels are as necessary to Puerto Rican literature as rice and beans are to the Puerto Rican diet. A Woman of Endurance should be taught as both history and literature of las Americas; it cements Llanos-Figueroa as an urgent and critical voice for our times. Her rigorous and compassionate attention to the human experience of the horrific legacy of enslaved Black people in Puerto Rico is a triumph for literature, Puerto Rican and otherwise, and a testament to the enduring spirit of human beings."
One in Me I Never Loved (2021)
Carla Guelfenbein
"In One in Me I Never Loved, Carla Guelfenbein's stories delicately unravel the mysteries and secrets in the lives of women looking for love and hiding out in the big city. A fascinating study of loneliness and connection."
