9781496717023 The Moonshiner's Daughter 12/31/2019
"Donna Everhart perfectly captures North Carolina in the early 1960s as she tells the story of a family making moonshine. The Sasser family business is anathema to Jessie because of its role in her mother's death, and the family's dedication to it is puzzling for her. Everhart's portrayal of Jessie's coming-of-age is realistic and heartbreaking. You will root for Jessie, the Sassers, and the moonshine before it is all over." -- Linda Hodges, Fiction Addiction, Greenville, NC

9780802128386 Wilmington's Lie 1/7/2020
"This is truly a book to shake your world view. To know violence could occur so openly in the U.S., and be fairly hidden for decades, is to begin to face how deeply ingrained racism is in our history - particularly in the South. Wilmington's Lie is a "must read", even as it sickens, shocks, and educates."-- Rosemary Pugliese, Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe, Asheville, NC

9781547603220 The Girl and the Dinosaur 1/14/2020
"On a beach in a town not so very far from here a girl and a dinosaur find each other and with spirits wild and free they explore the night together. Dinosaur lovers and dreamers alike will adore this stunningly illustrated lyrical tale of fun, fantasy and flight. " -- Angie Tally, The Country Bookshop, Southern Pines, NC

9781250209764 American Dirt 1/21/2020
"Likened to "a Grapes of Wrath for our times". American Dirt is a raw exploration into the lives of people willing to sacrifice everything for a chance at happiness. You will not be able to put this book down as you become entranced in their lives, it is an important book demanding our attention with stories of drama and humanity.You will not want to put this down unless it is to share with a friend so you can talk about it." -- Suzanne Lucey, Page 158 Books, Wake Forest, NC
