Buckle up tight as Damani takes you on a ride through her town, or is it any town? Full of fierce commentary on social injustice, the strength of community, loyalty and love in all its messy guises. Fast, furious and fun. A great read! – Anna (volunteer)
A story about love, loss and that point where you realize your parents are human too and not always perfect! Set in the beautiful Amalfi Coast, this book is heartwarming, heartbreaking, and VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN! My favorite read of this year so far! – Gina (Staff)
I loved this book! It was exactly what I needed – funny, light, charming, as all Eli Lipman’s books are – one of her best most romantic. A real treat. – Judy B (Co-founder)
I read this book in one sweeping motion. Florin’s writing is clean and precise but paints a wildly detailed image of the characters and all their flaws. It was a perfect balance of heartbreaking while still being a joy to read. -Emily (Manager)
Stephanie Clifford fills out the singular story of one woman’s hard rise to country music stardom with the history of country music and the evolution of American culture. Water Lil is a character you won’t soon forget. This well researched novel is also a love letter to country music and the American West. If you’ve spent time with either, this novel will be hell bent on tugging at your heartstrings. -Allison (Staff)
A page-turner from a master stylist.
Crammed with drama and striking characters. Loved it.
“People with different ideas from one’s own were not the enemy; they were simply people with different ideas. Hearing them out carried, he supposed, some small potential for having one’s mind changed, but it was far more likely to strengthen the opinion you already had, so why all the fear?”

Joan is ok! Her family and friends think she should make more effort to be connected in the world, BUT she is content as she is. Witty, insightful you too will root for Joan and her own place in the world. – Anna (Volunteer)
This sci-fi reimagining of the Greek tragedy Antigone is a great read! Profoundly moving, at times heartbreaking but hopeful in the end. I didn’t want it to end and was left wondering what next?! – Gina (Staff)
This book explores the passions, vulnerabilities, sensuality, and raw emotions of four generations of black women who want – and desperately need – to be so much more than “good” church women all their lives. It’s raw and very relatable to a former church girl like me. – Lori (Staff)
