  Liberté, Egalité, Sororité 
  It’s 1885. When murderous circumstances force two widows--Annie & Euphémie---and the precocious Auguste to flee their French village, a quartet of missionaries from the Church of Solemn stow them away within the Statue of Liberty’s head on a steamer that arrives in New York after a deadly tempest. From NY, the Solemnites usher the refugees to the staid village of Solemn, Indiana, where pleasure is forbidden. 
  The village embraces the refugees while at the same time avoiding certain delicate subjects, including the relationship between the two widows, as well as Auguste’s endless blasphemies. 
  These delicate subjects become unavoidable when Solemn is tapped to host the All-Tent Revival. The revival calls itself a “multi-denominational marketplace for God.” More accurate would be: “a time-bomb composed of two-hundred rival factions of late-19th-century American crack-pot religious sects.”  
  Guess who sets off that bomb. 
  With its cast of obedient romantics, mystical nutbags, and adorable cynics, Sister Liberty is the rollicking, thunderous introductory volume to The Stables Family Chronicles. 
  WARNING! THIS AUDIOBOOK CONTAINS DESCRIPTIONS OF: whistling, allegorical situations, lesbians, apostasy, and a pleasure wheel. Also: Eleven instances of the word fuck.

  What happens when a king loses his prowess? The day Henry IV could finally declare he had vanquished his enemies, he threw it all away with an infamous deed. No English king had executed an archbishop before. And divine judgment was quick to follow. Many thought he was struck with leprosy—God's greatest punishment for sinners. From that point on, Henry's health was cursed and he fought doggedly on as his body continued to betray him—reducing this once great warrior to an invalid. Fortunately for England, his heir was ready and eager to take over. But Henry wasn't willing to relinquish what he had worked so hard to preserve. No one was going to take away his royal prerogative—not even Prince Hal. But Henry didn't count on Hal's dauntless nature, which threatened to tear the royal family apart.

  Spanning generations and soaked in memory, The Covenant of Water is an epic tale of love, legacy, and the quiet strength that flows through a family bound by mystery and resilience.
   
  In 1900s Kerala, a twelve-year-old girl enters an arranged marriage and steps into a family haunted by a strange curse—one member from each generation dies by drowning. As she grows into Big Ammachi, the matriarch of the Parambil household, she bears witness to tragedies, transformations, and the quiet endurance of those who refuse to be broken.
   
  Through sweeping landscapes and decades of upheaval, the story follows the intertwined lives of a compassionate doctor in exile, a gifted child born with a disability, and a grieving father struggling to hold onto purpose. With water as both threat and salvation, the family's multigenerational journey becomes a testament to hope, science, and the invisible threads that connect us all.
