The Turtle House

Amanda Churchill
Christie TateChristie Tate

Sentence by sentence, the language shimmers on the page. It’s the story of a young woman who’s moved home and now shares a bedroom with her prickly 73-year-old grandmother, Mineko... it’s about how stories are passed down and come alive, how they transform and heal us.

You will not see the color yellow or the city of Houston the same way after you read this book. Nobody braids better than Lidia. And nobody writes with as much heart and voice but with zero pretension as she does.

The Wives: A Memoir

Simone Gorrindo
Christie TateChristie Tate

When I love a book I have no shame...I had no idea how much spouses gave up on the day-to-day level for the military. I didn’t know how complicated the hierarchy was even in social settings. This is a story I didn’t know. And it’s a page turner.

Kaveh Akbar

Martyr! is a beautiful read for those of us who care about recovery, language, “home,” what it means to be good, to matter, to join, to mourn, to seek, to question, to feel, to dream and to tell stories and make art. How he did all that in 331 pages is proof he’s a poet.
