Seven Aunts by Staci Lola Drouillard
Reading SEVEN AUNTS, I was overwhelmed with gratitude for these women and the author’s commitment to truth telling. Drouillard writes with such integrity. I cared deeply about the aunties, and I didn’t want to leave them.

The Last Bookseller, A Life in the Rare Book Trade

With humor and great affection, Goodman invites us in for a look behind the curtain before it closes for the last time.
