Jasmina Odor regales us with The Harvesters, an offbeat and sweet novel about family, loss and recovery, and the magic of memory.
Marion Douglas presents The Game of Giants, a novel about the unpredictability of parenthood, a journey into the unchartered territory that is having a child, especially when that child turns out to be different.
Sara Power debuts with Art of Camouflage, a collection of stories about girls and women caught in the orbit of the military.
