The Last Karankawas (2022)
Kimberly Garza
"Devastating in its own clarity and nuance. The Last Karankawas has the power to change the way we see where we've been and what we may have left behind. A stunning debut from a talented writer."
thumb
Keep Saying Their Names (2020)
Simon Stranger
"An utterly moving story, reminding us how in the end all we have are the names of those who came before us and the memories attached to those names. Rippling across generations, Keep Saying Their Names is as haunting for its characters as it will be for its readers."
