This is a story about the exploration of sisterhood, family and the transformative power of literature!

Gia Rossi left her small hometown following a scandal—but family loyalty is dragging her back…

“A sharply plotted, emotionally intense novel of family secrets, fresh starts and community written with a compelling warmth, compassion and optimism. I loved it.”
—Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times Bestselling Author

February's Brenda Novak Book Box

For our Eight Year Anniversary box, I wanted to do something special—so I’ve decided to throw a Galentine’s Day Party on Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. PT/8:00 p.m. ET via Zoom. Those who get this box will receive a ticket to the party along with all the supplies they’ll need. What supplies? A candle-making kit that will have everything you need—the wax (comes in a bag that you simply put in the microwave), the heart-shaped mold, the wick, etc. This box will also have an autographed copy of our February read, LAST TWILIGHT IN PARIS by Pam Jenoff, and a surprise item!

Also Available: TYING THE KNOT

All of Grady Amos’s brothers are married, and he’s feeling left behind. Aja Kermani wants to break away from the man chosen by her parents and marry for love. This leads them both to Tying the Knot, a reality TV show where contestants meet their soulmate. Grady and Aja end up married—yet they have absolutely nothing in common! But there is something—beyond a powerful attraction—that draws them to each other, despite their completely different lives and backgrounds. Is a postshow annulment in their future? Or are two opposites truly meant for each other?

Brenda Novak Book Boxes

These have been a HUGE hit! What’s inside? That’s different every month, but I can tell you this much — they will contain a print copy of the book we are reading for that month (autographed by the author!) or a substitute book of mine (generally one that is hard to find), at least two of my favorite things and a surprise gift that you won’t know about until you receive the box. One random person each month will receive an even “bigger” mystery gift. We will announce the contents for the next box at the first of each month, and you will be able to order it then or the day after (providing they’re not all gone). Payment is due by the 7th of the month. The box ships three weeks later, on the first of the following month. We sell out every month, so grab yours early.
