A Wild and Heavenly Place (2024)
Robin Oliveira
"A vivid story of the grit and the glory of early Seattle... An epic story of star-crossed lovers that spans continents and classes."
The Enemy at Home (2023)
Kevin O'Brien
"A classic Kevin O'Brien page-turner, with a new historical twist. O'Brien takes us deep into Seattle during WWII, as his heroine juggles work, misogyny, solo parenting, and a serial killer on the loose. Nora is a heroine to root for, and the curves in the plot kept me reading late into the night (while checking the locks on my doors!)."
Angeline (2023)
Anna Quinn
"Anna Quinn's novels dive deep into the human psyche, exploring our capacity to harm and heal. Angeline is a call to open arms, a clear-eyed view of our often-flawed humanity and how the power of compassion can change everything. It is a novel of gorgeous sentences and beautiful messages. It left me feeling stronger, wiser, and in complete awe."
