The Ivory City (2025)
Emily Bain Murphy
"I'm a total fan girl over Emily Bain Murphy's writing! Like all her novels, The Ivory City is a story to savor - a mosaic of rich description, witty banter, and brilliant themes. I loved touring the opulent St. Louis Exposition with her and experiencing its fleeting grandeur from a multitude of perspectives and places, all while trying to figure out exactly what happened at the fair."

Hope's Enduring Echo (2025)
Kim Vogel Sawyer
"Hope's Enduring Echo is a beautifully written story about finding hope in a dark and shattered place. As a former Coloradoan, I loved reading the unique history that Kim Vogel Sawyer discovered in Canon City and her poignant reminder about the miraculous ways God rescues and restores His children."

All We Thought We Knew (2024)
Michelle Shocklee
"Michelle Shocklee is a master at capturing the heart of her characters and inviting readers right into their journey. In her latest work, she takes us into the Tennessee and North Dakota camps that imprisoned German internees during World War II. I was fascinated by her research even as I felt deeply the losses of the Taylor family. All We Thought We Knew is a poignant story about prejudice, family secrets, and both the sorrow and resilience of lives forever altered by war. A powerful time-slip novel."
