Jacqueline Friedland recommends

When She Was Ours (2026)
Anna Nordberg
"When She Was Ours is an affecting debut about the fault lines that run through families and the resilience that emerges when they're exposed. Nordberg writes with clarity and compassion about the secrets that shape a family as she traces a mother's final choices and the long shadow they cast on her daughters. The result is an insightful and gripping story about grief, forgiveness, and the stubborn love that binds us, even when it hurts."

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (2025)
Jessica Guerrieri
"Motherhood isn't necessarily every woman's dream. BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA tells the important story of a woman whose decision to marry and become a mother has been more complicated than she bargained for, leading her to feelings of self-doubt and guilt and addiction as escapism. This engaging and introspective tale expertly peels away the mysteries of addiction, painting a riveting portrait of how quietly it can start, persist, and destroy. A compelling story of vulnerability, family resentment, and second chances told in beautiful prose reminiscent of Ann Napolitano, Guerrieri's debut is not to be missed!"

Love, Me (2024)
Jessica Saunders
"A perfect escape from everyday life. . . . Will draw you in from the get-go and keep you reading late into the night!"
