Welcome back to our new look! Your favorites are still here--reviews of the best books out this week, Book Candy, Writer's Life and Rediscover--along with some new features.
In this issue, we review Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez, in which a 1970s Alabama nurse uncovers a miscarriage of justice; Jordan Crane's graphic novel love story Keeping Two; and Nancy Werlin's middle-grade Healer and Witch, about a young woman with magical powers in medieval France. Plus, Claire Kohda describes how her pandemic experience contributed to the vampire protagonist in her debut novel, Woman, Eating.
