Laurie Hertzel Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Laurie Hertzel

In this poignant novel, miracles abound... An engrossing read, the dark and the rain and the shabby but hopeful holiday decorations blending with the peat smoke and the love, all coming fully alive on the page. And that is something of a miracle itself.

A meditation on communing with nature and cultivating connections with one another... an optimistic book, one that trusts in the ability of people to do the right thing.

@EllenAkins @LauraMcCallumB @mitchellzuckoff @nightnewspam in her column, @laura_yuen chats with Jody Lulich, whose memoir we excerpted a few weeks ago ("In the Company of Grace") And, finally, in my bookmark column, I say goodbye. After 15 years in this job, I am moving on. Thanks everyone, for so very much. https://t.co/1rHsOfoHR8

@tiernanhenry This is actually the advance reader copy of Margaret Atwood’s THE TESTAMENTS, The sequel to the handmaid‘s tale. The publisher printed the arcs under a fake title and fake author to keep everything completely on the QT..
