Lee WoodruffLee Woodruff

This multigenerational novel spans 150 years of slavery up to the pandemic, including star-crossed lovers...and the story of how family secrets and wounds are passed down through the ages - it’s a rich novel that begins with an engagement party in Brooklyn and moves beautifully from there.

We Are Watching

Alison Gaylin
Lee WoodruffLee Woodruff

I love a thriller that holds my attention and isn’t formulaic - @alison.gaylin opens the story with a bang on a family road trip and in the aftermath, a prophetical book written 30 years earlier begins to offer clues as to why the Russo family has become the object of so much attention.

So excited to talk to talented writer @annleary about her new novel "The Foundling," based in part on research she did about her own family. You don’t want to miss this writer- or this book & of course the iconic @Powells which puts the "indie" in indie book store! #authorevent https://t.co/w2J0B0inqt

I love anything @ozbrooks100 writes. This is a gem of a treatise about the author’s grief and the experience of losing her husband. Tony Horowitz was an extraordinary writer and journalist. It sounds like he was an amazing person too.
