with Black History Month, James McBride, known for his
bestselling memoir The
Color of Water, releases a powerful novel of free blacks, slaves,
and slave catchers both ruthless and conflicted in rural pre–Civil
War Maryland. In Song
Yet Sung, Liz Spocott, a young runaway slave, learns "The Code" of
the Underground Railroad as she attempts to flee from the brutal Patty
Cannon. Lauren
Groff's singular debut, The
Monsters of Templeton, skillfully combines history, detective
novel, ghost story, and an homage to Cooperstown, New York (the model for
Temptleton), in the story of Willie Upton, a lost soul who returns to her
hometown in disgrace. Puportedly
penned by All My Children's Kendall Hart, Charm! is
a fictionalized account of Hart's own struggles with men, rivals, and
a fledgling cosmetics company.
