Gina Ochsner recommends

Atomic Family (2023)
Ciera Horton McElroy
"In Atomic Family, McElroy writes with authority and astonishing lyricism. Fearlessly delving into her characters' private pain and their deepest desires to be seen and understood, McElroy masterfully reminds that suffering paves the road to redemption. This is an astonishing achievement from an extremely gifted storyteller."
