A Happy Catastrophe (2020)
Maddie Dawson
"In A Happy Catastrophe, author Maddie Dawson works magic on the page as she takes us into the life of bighearted Marnie MacGraw, a woman who can literally see the sparkle of love in the air. Marnie is surrounded by a constellation of vivid characters who, whether searching for connection or confronting loss, keep pressing on through the rich and wondrous catastrophe of life. A beautifully written testament to the tenacity of hope and the power of love."
Tips for Living (2018)
Renée Shafransky
"In Tips for Living, Renée Shafransky proves herself to be a terrific storyteller. In addition to perfect pacing and edge-of-the seat suspense, the story has a genuinely appealing narrator whose humor and smarts grabbed me from the start and never let me go. The minute I finished I wanted more!"
Wish Me Home (2017)
Kay Bratt
"With its resilient protagonist, secret that kept me guessing, dog I wish I could adopt in real life, and story that tugged at my heart, Kay Bratt’s Wish Me Home grabbed me and held me all the way to its heartfelt resolution."
