One Bad Mother: A Mother's Search for Meaning in the Police Academy

by Megan Williams

A memoir for every mother who thinks she is failing the test of motherhood. Or thinks that challenging athletic feats or professional achievements may be easier than being a mother. That is—most of us.

“Real. Raw. Laugh out loud funny—
like motherhood itself.”

—Leslie Morgan Steiner, author of
Crazy Love


“Williams examines motherhood, with all its joys and pressures, amid a culture that too often mutes discussion of the staggering societal expectations all mothers face. An entertaining, refreshing read!”
​
—Kristin Beck, author of Courage, My Love and The Winter Orphans


Eleven Stolen Horses: A Wild Horses Mystery

by Robin Somers

Reporter Eleanor Wooley wants to start her life over in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, but when her best friend suddenly disappears, she finds herself in pursuit instead.

“The protagonist’s dedication to justice—not just for her friend, but for anyone who has been wronged (including the majestic horses that have been stolen)—makes her a worthy heroine.” —Kirkus Reviews


“Robin Somers knows the gritty corners of the Sierra Nevada, what it means to cover a crime beat, and most of all how to tell a moody, multi-layered story in mesmerizing style. Eleven Stolen Horses is a knockout.”
​
—Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Dog of the North


Silence: A Novel

by Julia Park Tracey

A whiff of sulfur and witchcraft shadows this literary Puritan tale of loss and redemption, based on this best-selling historical fiction author’s own ancestor, her seventh great-grandmother, Silence Greenleaf.

“A historically astute and compelling must-read.”

—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review


“Historical fiction, yes, but more importantly an inquiry into female agency and power in a world that takes the breaking of the spirit as its right. Beautiful.”
​
—Christian Kiefer, author of The Heart Of It All


Mrs. McPhealy's American

by Claire R. McDougall

A one-way ticket to his ancestral home lands beleaguered Hollywood director Steve McNaught in a small Scottish town, where he’s an immediate outcast and soon discovers that even love with a local can’t save him.

“A delightfully composed and engaging read, propelled by vibrant characters.” —Kirkus Reviews


“This hugely enjoyable love story is very much a Scottish-American creation by a fine writer who is steeped in the culture of both nations.”
​
—Billy Kay, Writer/Broadcaster, Scots media person of the year
