The Last Road Trip:

Twenty years after tragedy tore them apart, four sorority sisters still can’t say no to sweet Mary Blake Bulloch. Reeling from a public divorce, Mary Blake rallies the group to complete a long-ago road trip cut short by scandal, betrayal, and the death of a Texas oilman’s son.

Time hasn’t healed all wounds. Helen’s hiding a crumbling marriage. Charlie’s haunted by a deathbed promise. Annesley’s harboring life-changing news. Lisa knows that her decades-long silence about what happened that fateful night could cost her everything—and everyone.

As the women pick up where they left off, old alliances shift and long-buried memories surface. What started as a reunion becomes a reckoning, forcing each woman to decide what matters more: the comfort of silence or the brutal cost of truth.

The Divorce Party:

Set in Hamptons high society, The Divorce Party features two women. One newly engaged and one at the end of her marriage trying to answer the same question: When should you fight to save a relationship, and when should you let go? An insightful and funny multigenerational story, this profoundly moving novel will undoubtedly touch anyone whose heart has weathered an unexpected storm.

“We didn’t call the police right away.” Those are the electric first words of this extraordinary novel about a biracial Korean American family in Virginia whose lives are upended when their beloved father and husband go missing.

Mia, the irreverent, hyperanalytical twenty-year-old daughter, has an explanation for everything—which is why she isn’t initially concerned when her father and younger brother Eugene don’t return from a walk in a nearby park. They must have lost their phone or stopped for an errand somewhere. But by the time Mia’s brother runs through the front door bloody and alone, it becomes clear that the father in this tight-knit family is missing, and the only witness is Eugene, who has the rare genetic condition Angelman syndrome and cannot speak.

What follows is a ticking-clock investigation into the whereabouts of a father and an emotionally rich portrait of a family whose most personal secrets may be at the heart of his disappearance.
