Hazel Says No (2025)
Jessica Berger Gross
"Hazel Says No pulled me in from the first witty page, and I invented an imaginary book group to read along with me and discuss all the issues raised and choices made by the Blum family and other characters in a well-drawn small town in Maine. Will Hazel's actions pull the family together or break them apart? This twisty story kept me guessing until the end. I am astonished that this is Jessica Berger Gross's first novel - it's great, skillful, and funny. Fans of Catherine Newman will love it!"

The Evening Shades (2025)
Lee Martin
"The Evening Shades begins with the death of a young girl, in a town where many people have a piece of the puzzle but don't know how to share their knowledge with each other. People try to move on with their lives, but the death causes tension that creates new problems that threaten the entire sense of community that people have counted on. How can a town carry grief sorrow without losing its sense of community? Lee Martin has written another compelling story that is both a page turner and full of wisdom."

Shred Sisters (2024)
Betsy Lerner
"I loved this poignant story of a younger sister growing and forming herself around her older sister's erratic behavior. Betsy Lerner articulates moments I have observed but never put into words, and I both laughed out loud and was deeply moved. A brilliant novel."
