Amanda Barratt recommends

In the Light of the Sun (2025)
Angela Shupe
"This book is a powerful exploration of the courage of ordinary people, the unbreakable ties of sisterhood, and the abiding bond between music and hope. Inspired by her own family's history, Angela Shupe transports readers across the harrowing years of WWII in a journey both sweeping and intimate. Fans of Kristy Cambron and Mario Escobar will want to put this novel at the top of their reading list. A magnificent debut!"

All We Thought We Knew (2024)
Michelle Shocklee
"Memorable and moving, All We Thought We Knew is a novel of ordinary people who are tested by two wars that altered America. Through its pages, we journey with characters whose lives intertwine across decades-from a German medical student imprisoned in a Tennessee internment camp to a young woman facing her brother's death in Vietnam and her mother's devastating diagnosis. Michelle Shocklee has woven a poignant tapestry of revelations and restoration, heartbreak and hope."
