Evening Begins the Day (2026)
Jessica Brilliant Keener
"With an emotional sensitivity and clarity of prose that reminds me of writers like Ann Napolitano and Elizabeth Strout, Jessica Keener brings to life a tale of two families in crisis and how these modern skeptical people stumble into an ancient spiritual practice that haltingly and convincingly brings them to hope, love, and solace. This is a beautiful and ultimately uplifting book."

Renée Rosen
"Think you know Barbie? Think again, in this delightful, fast-paced, compassionate, and well-researched story, Renee Rosen skillfully takes everything you think you know and turns it on its head, telling us the real story of the feisty, strong, original woman who created America's most loved and most hated doll.
