"An elegiac, hopeful historical novel... hypnotic." -Kirkus Reviews
"An extraordinary new historical novel." -Akron Beacon Journal

On a humid day in June 1806, on the edge of Ohio's Great Black Swamp, seventeen-year-old Susanna Quiner watches from behind a maple tree as a band of Potawatomi Indians kidnaps her four older sisters from their cabin. With both her parents dead from Swamp Fever and all the other settlers out in their fields, Susanna makes the rash decision to pursue them herself. What follows is a young woman's quest to find her sisters, and the parallel story of her sisters' new lives.

Over the course of one summer, the lives of all five women are transformed as they contend with starvation, slavery, betrayal, and love. Fast-paced, richly detailed, this is a riveting novel that demonstrates the true wildness of the wilderness, and the rugged perseverance of those who find themselves there.

Ohio, 1838. To save the lives of others, a young seamstress must risk her own.

When young seamstress May Bedloe is left alone and penniless on the shore of the Ohio, she finds work on the famous floating theatre that plies its trade along the river. Her creativity and needlework skills quickly become invaluable and she settles in to life among the colourful troupe of actors. She finds friends, and possibly the promise of more ...

But cruising the border between the Confederate South and the 'free' North is fraught with danger.

For the sake of a debt that must be repaid, May is compelled to transport secret passengers, under cover of darkness, across the river and on, along the underground railroad.

But as May's secrets become harder to keep, she learns she must endanger those now dear to her.

And to save the lives of others, she must risk her own . . .

A gloriously involving and powerful read for fans of The Essex Serpent and Tracy Chevalier's The Last Runaway.

Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2016

CHICAGO, 1921: When talented young musician Eve Riser is caught in a drive-by shooting that kills the bootlegger standing next to her, she forms an unlikely friendship with the bootlegger’s sister. Eve is looking for her missing stepsister, a popular night club singer, and Lena wants to solve the mystery of who killed her brother and why. Together these two women navigate the back alleys and speakeasies of the Roaring Twenties, encountering charismatic managers, handsome musicians, romance, and a mysterious gangster called the Walnut who seems to be the key to it all.

As they fight racial barriers trying to discover the truth, Eve and Lena—two strong women fighting for their families—must learn to rely on each other and trust no one else. SUGARLAND mixes the excitement of the 1920s with the darker side of Prohibition in a gripping story with “real suspense for anyone who likes a good mystery.” (Kirkus Starred Review)

Winner of multiple awards, including Readers' Favorite Book Award, and the EPIC Award Winner in Mystery.
