Robert Morgan recommends
The Sky Club (2022)
Terry Roberts
"The Sky Club portrays diverse, unexpected facets of the Appalachian region in the years of the Great Depression. It is a novel of climbing - social, financial, emotional, romantic - to a mountaintop, to The Sky Club, to risk and wealth, to danger, and, ultimately, to enduring love."
Gods of Howl Mountain (2018)
Taylor Brown
"A fresh, authentic, and eloquent new voice in American fiction."
The Summer That Melted Everything (2016)
Tiffany McDaniel
"A bold and surprising debut...warning us not to be too quick in judging what is evil and what is good."
