Broken Glass

Fiction

“In Broken Glass, Mary VanderGoot offers us Maggie, who helps us find the extraordinary in the ordinary as she reminisces about her family. We find a narrator that is all of us as we come to terms with loss, getting older, and the legacy we leave behind as we navigate ground that is covered with the broken glass of our regrets. Mary VanderGoot has written a powerful and hopeful book that will stay with me long after its final pages.”

City of Bridges

Fiction

“City of Bridges is both myth and mystery. In the character of the Courier and the mystery surrounding him, we see ourselves: a yearning to be known and remembered, and a burden we carry from one place to another. And like the narrator, we too seek to know our collective past through discovering the fate of lives with which we are forever entwined. Belczyk is an author to watch.”

What We Remember Will Be Saved

“Amid the ashes of war and unimaginable losses in Iraq and Syria, there is beauty, to which Stephanie Saldaña bears witness in this indelible work that should be read widely and deeply.”
