Where the Wildflowers Grow (2026)
Terah Shelton Harris
"In Where the Wildflowers Grow, Terah Shelton Harris explores the pain of loss and the long-lasting repercussions of trauma through beautiful prose. Set against the backdrop of a flower farm in rural Alabama and aligned with the natural transitions of the seasons, Harris uses the power of community, understanding, and persistent tenderness to guide her protagonist through a journey toward growth and healing that, at long last, enables her to become the person she was meant to be."
The Day I Left You (2025)
Caroline Bishop
"The Day I Left You tells the story of a man who's unable to give up on the love he lost and a brave but misguided woman searching for redemption without any belief she'll find it. Part exploration of love and loss and having the strength to start over despite risk, and part mystery, Bishop's writing is full of flawed characters who feel stuck in their circumstances with no clear path out. A captivating meditation on the weight of guilt and the even heavier burden of having the courage, and the grace, to forgive."
Sweetness in the Skin (2024)
Ishi Robinson
"Sweetness in the Skin is a tender exploration of familial love, both the family you're born to, and the one you find along the way. Robinson has written a treatise on the effects of colorism and class divisions that is heartbreaking and raw, yet joyful. This vivid story transported me to Pumkin's world through an excursion of the senses, the sights, the sounds, and especially the tastes of Jamaica, leaving me yearning to return."
