  She risked everything to heal the wounded. Now she must fight to rebuild her own life. 
   
  Shamrock Ridge, Colorado Territory, 1868. 
   
  Sarah Dunne arrives with little more than a worn carpetbag, a horse, and a past she cannot speak of. Trained as a doctor during the war, she treated the wounded until she was captured and held as a prisoner. Now barred from practicing medicine, she takes work as a nurse, knowing her skills far exceed the title she's been forced to accept. 
   
  The town is still recovering from the war, and Sarah is determined to stay quiet, keep her head down, and help where she can. But soon she is pulled into the lives of the people around her—a child in need of urgent care, and a local doctor who sees her as a threat. 
   
  As buried secrets begin to surface, Sarah must choose between silence and truth, safety and courage. Can she reclaim the life she once fought for, or will the past destroy her second chance? 
   
  Perfect for fans of clean historical romance and strong heroines, Sarah's story is a powerful tale of resilience, healing, and the hope found in unexpected places.

  What you are about to hear is a work of fiction, but the stage it walks upon is dangerously real. 
  Heidelberg, November 23, 2025. The silence is about to break. 
  From the looting of the Bibliotheca Palatina by the Vatican in 1623 to the construction of the Thingstätte amphitheater by the SS in 1935, the Holy Mountain above the Neckar hides scars of two thousand years. 
  Now, a secret resurfaces: Thirteen pages of cured goatskin, stiffened by the sweat of a man the world decided to call a God. Thirteen sentences, written by hand, trembling not from fear, but from the sheer voltage of the truth. 
  Written and narrated by Kristopher Kurt Kiene, The Gospel of Heidelberg walks the thin line between history books and the shadows they cast.

  A "beautifully written" Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about prejudice and a distinguished family's secrets in the American South (The Atlantic Monthly). 
   
   
   
  Seven generations of the Howland family have lived in the Alabama plantation home built by an ancestor who fought for Andrew Jackson in the War of 1812. Over the course of a century, the Howlands accumulated a fortune, fought for secession, and helped rebuild the South, establishing themselves as one of the most respected families in the state. But that history means little to Abigail Howland. 
   
   
    
  The inheritor of the Howland manse, Abigail hides the long-buried secret of her grandfather's thirty-year relationship with his African American mistress. Her fortunes reverse when her family's mixed-race heritage comes to light and her community—locked in the prejudices of the 1960s—turns its back on her. Faced with such deep-seated racism, Abigail is pushed to defend her family at all costs. 
   
   
    
  A "novel of real magnitude," The Keepers of the House is an unforgettable story of family, tradition, and racial injustice set against the richly drawn backdrop of the American South (Kirkus Reviews).
