The Girl from the Papers
In this Bonnie-and-Clyde tale with a redemptive twist, Wright (Come Down Somewhere) proves her literary chops and puts herself on the level of historical-fiction favorites like Susan Meissner and Fiona Davis.
Madame Restell: The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Old New York’s Most Fabulous, Fearless, and Infamous Abortionist

The treatment of historical events is gritty and unflinching, similar to other Dust Bowl fiction, like Susie Finkbeiner’s Cup of Dust and Kristin Hannah’s Four Winds. Character growth is the highlight of this novel, and the darkness of the subject is lessened somewhat by the love of two sisters and their fledgling faith.
