“Moving and often heart-wrenching tales drawn from the depths of human experience.” Kirkus Review
From award winning author Jo Rousseau comes her second book of short fiction. In these beautifully crafted stories, the author creates sensitive and realistic characters who have no passport, no roadmap to the country of love. In “Reading to My Mother,” a family deals with keeping their aging mother at home, questioning whether they can trust their youngest sibling who reappears after years of absence. Is the love of family strong enough to navigate these unfamiliar roads? “Johnsonville” gives us Kathy, a second time bride, on her way to a future husband who will spend his life in prison. Rousseau, in these stories tells us the truth about love…that we are all tourists in the country of love.
We are happy to Welcome Leah Holbrook Sackett to our publishing family with Swimming Middle River, a book about challenging family and society.
And a new release from one of our favorite writer, Ron Terranova surprises and delights with the October release of October Twilight – a dark, ironic, gothic book of short fiction.
Happy Reading!
