The Village Healer's Book of Cures (2023)
Jennifer Sherman Roberts
"A firecracker of a debut, packed with well-researched historical details, a tense mystery, and a few twists I never saw coming. Mary - a strong, independent woman trapped in a gender-centric panic - is the perfect character to take the reader on a perilous journey - one that could almost happen today."
The Orchid Hour (2023)
Nancy Bilyeau
"With a heroine you can't help rooting for, a fascinating cast of characters, and a tense, high-stakes mystery at its heart, this is a book you can't stop reading."
Light to the Hills (2022)
Bonnie Blaylock
"A bright and vibrant debut. Light to the Hills is a touching meditation on motherhood and the importance of community, especially during difficult times. Bonnie Blaylock will be one to watch in the realm of historical fiction."
