The Forgotten Girls: A Memoir of Friendship and Lost Promise in Rural America

Monica Potts

"The Forgotten Girls is much more than a memoir; it's the unflinching story of rural women trying to live in the most rugged, ultra-religious and left-behind places in America. Rendering what she sees with poignancy and whip-smart analyses, Monica Potts took a gutsy, open-hearted journey home and turned it into art." —Beth Macy, author of Dopesick and Raising Lazarus

Ink Blood Sister Scribe

Emma Törzs

$30.00 $27.90

Go beyond the magic and you're left with a heartbreaking tale of family where truth blurs with lies, and blood isn't thick enough. A bold, new novel from an extraordinary new voice." —Marlon James, author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf

Beware the Woman

Megan Abbott

$28.00 $26.04

"Megan Abbott can do no wrong. Stunningly twisty, Beware the Woman so deftly holds some of the most pressing feminist issues of our time in an eerie, ominous grip. Bodily autonomy, reproduction, patriarchal power--this thriller feels terrifyingly of the moment, and perhaps that's where the truest horror lies." —Ashley Audrain, author of The Push

In Kind

Maggie Queeney

$20.00 $18.60

"Maggie Queeney's haunting new book is a stunner. She nails surviving trauma and the cost of enduring it in a complicated household. This collection is the sleeper hit you need to buy--haunting, evocative, easy to know, and impossible to forget." —Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club
