Kick the Latch
Kathryn Scanlan
Kick the Latch interlaces the dark threads of violence that run through The Dominant Animal with the unsentimental rituals of caregiving that anchor Aug 9-Fog. Kick the Latch is perched ambiguously between novel and oral history.

Search
Michelle Huneven
We are *impossibly* excited that it's pub week for @MHuneven's wonderful new novel SEARCH. It's about a church search committee & it is a f*&king page-turner. Had to wrestle it out of this sweet girl's hands. https://t.co/WT8kbmlGD7

Stranger Care: A Memoir of Loving What Isn't Ours
Sarah Sentilles
Sometimes you read a book that just flattens you. For days, flattens you. Rearranges you. That happened to me with STRANGER CARE by @SarahSentilles. Whoever you are, you should read it. I can't wait to talk about it with her on 5/12. https://www.greenlightbookstore.com/event/sarah-sentilles-leslie-jamison https://t.co/xhipH4UPYm
