Fragments of Light

Fiction

“As the title suggests, there are no easy illuminations on the path of healing. Cancer attacks more than the body. War destroys more than flesh and bone. Not all heroes welcome the attention, and not all husbands are up to the challenge. Women find the most unlikely sources of strength, and the best families defy definition.”

Just Between You and Me

Fiction

“Jenny B. Jones strikes a perfect balance of quirkiness and vulnerability.”

Lovelier than Daylight

Fiction

“Fairer than Morning is a fabulous debut! Rosslyn Elliott has not so much written a story, but crafted a tale with a dedication to depth and detail equal to that of the artisan she brings to life . . . Rosslyn Elliott is a welcome new voice, almost luxurious. Readers deserve this indulgence.”

Paint and Nectar

Fiction

“Ashley Clark solidifies herself as a compelling voice in Southern fiction, with a promise to find stories between every brick and blossom. Paint and Nectar is infused with the history and romance of feuding families, seamlessly spanning generations through a love of art, architecture, and the city of Charleston, which beats as the heart between them.”

Stories That Bind Us

Fiction

“There is a timelessness to the experience of reading Stories That Bind Us. With soft, exquisite precision, Susie Finkbeiner doesn’t quite deliver a story with a discernible beginning, middle, and end. Instead, the reader enters midstream in a lifelong romance and, in a masterful interweaving of present action and flashback, feels the life of Betty Sweet lap at the edges of the page. Grieving the loss of her husband, Betty finds focus and solace in caring for her troubled sister’s young son. This is especially poignant, given that she and her husband, Norm, were not able to have children during the course of their long, loving marriage. Her healing is gradual and surprising and achingly sweet. And while, yes, this is a work of historical fiction, it is an era that lives in our photo albums and home movies. In a voice that will be welcomed by fans of Anne Tyler, Finkbeiner creates compelling drama from the breath-to-breath moments of an ordinary life.”

Sweeter than Birdsong

Fiction

“Fairer than Morning is a fabulous debut! Rosslyn Elliott has not so much written a story, but crafted a tale with a dedication to depth and detail equal to that of the artisan she brings to life. With two very real people at its core, the story unfolds with characters and intrigue reminiscent of a Dickens novel, bringing the reader face-to-face with the heartbreak of bondage and the sweetness of freedom. Rosslyn Elliott is a welcome new voice, almost luxurious. Readers deserve this indulgence.”
