Pam Houston recommends
 Sleep Toward Heaven (2003) Amanda Eyre Ward "Intimate... unflinching... Very tough to put down." |  Locke 1928 (2007) Shawna Yang Ryan "Artfully woven, exquisitely modulated, walking a master's line between ancient Chinese myth and the grit of immigrant life in the Sacramento Delta, Water Ghosts tells the unforgettable story of a town brought to its knees by loneliness and longing. Complicated, compassionate, haunting, Shawna Yang Ryan's novel feels more like tapestry than words on paper, her prose less like sentences, and more like song. " |  Tourist Season (2007) Enid Shomer "Beautifully made, surprising and inevitable, wonderfully inventive and deeply true, these stories are full of small, irreverent, straight-faced miracles. They will lead women of all ages to suspect that the best may be yet to come." | |
 Quiet As They Come (2010) Angie Chau "We call it naturalization, but these bright, authentic, well-made stories both personalize and illuminate just how unnatural the first twenty years in America felt for thousands of Vietnamese families who fled to San Francisco to escape the Vietnam War. Angie Chau writes with humor, intensity and forgiveness about lives full of danger, insult, momentary reprieve, unending tenacity and undying hope." |  Hand Me Down (2012) Melanie Thorne "Elizabeth is a tough and tender heroine for the ages. A few pages in her voice is all it takes to make us determined to see her through." |
