All That Fills Us

Fiction

“Brimming with beauty and perfectly paced, this poignant novel connected with me in ways I didn’t think a story about a girl with an eating disorder could. I was stunned to see so much of myself in the character of Mel—striving to achieve, consistently hard on herself, and hoping that her efforts might amount to something meaningful in the end. Autumn Lytle’s moving debut is one of those books that will linger in the hearts and minds of those who read it.”

Stories That Bind Us

Fiction

“Susie Finkbeiner graces us with a quiet novel about ordinary people who use storytelling to navigate a life that has become far more complicated than they wished it was. As she peels away the layers of self-protection around her characters, revealing them to us in all of their complexity, the people we see staring back look a lot like ourselves, cloaking past hurts with present distractions and misdirections. Stories That Bind Us reminds us that life is messy and love hurts sometimes—but it is always worth it.”

Under the Bayou Moon

Fiction

“With atmosphere dripping from every page like Spanish moss on a cypress tree, Valerie Fraser Luesse brings the Louisiana bayou to vivid life in this story of one woman stepping out in faith to pursue her purpose. This memorable tale of love—love for self, love for others, and love for the land—will expand in your heart just as the ripples from a boat’s passage touch every secret corner of the bayou.”
