Power survives in fragments, hidden in rhymes, rituals, and the stories women pass between them.
The Once and Future Witches
Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · Historical Fantasy
Our take
Power survives in fragments, hidden in rhymes, rituals, and the stories women pass between them. The Once and Future Witches follows three estranged sisters who join the suffrage movement and uncover the old magic that could turn political resistance into something far more dangerous. Alix E. Harrow blends historical fantasy, sisterhood, and feminist rebellion into a sweeping novel about power, memory, and the cost of reclaiming both.
Choose your retailer
About the book
**In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in this powerful novel of magic, family, and the suffragette movement.
"A gorgeous and thrilling paean to the ferocious power of women. The characters live, bleed, and roar. "―Laini Taylor, New York Times bestselling author**
In 1893, there's no such thing as witches. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.
But when the Eastwood sisters―James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna―join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote―and perhaps not even to live―the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive.
There's no such thing as witches. But there will be.
An homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, motherhood, and women's suffrage—the lost ways are calling.
Praise for The Once and Future Witches:
"A glorious escape into a world where witchcraft has dwindled to a memory of women's magic, and three wild, sundered sisters hold the key to bring it back...A tale that will sweep you away."―Yangsze Choo, New York Times bestselling author
"This book is an amazing bit of spellcraft and resistance so needed in our times, and a reminder that secret words and ways can never be truly and properly lost, as long as there are tongues to speak them and ears to listen."―P. Djèlí Clark, author The Black God's Drum
A New York Times bestseller • Winner of the British Fantasy Award for Best Fantasy Novel • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by NPR Books • Barnes and Noble • BookPage

Best for readers who appreciate reflective memoirs about family history, apartheid, inherited patterns, faith, and reckoning with the past.
It Wasn’t Roaring, It Was Weeping
Biographies & Memoirs
Our take
Called “Important. Riveting. Unforgettable” by Ann Voskamp, It Wasn't Roaring, It Was Weeping is Lisa-Jo Baker’s memoir of growing up white in apartheid South Africa and later examining her family history, her father’s anger, and the inherited hurts she does not want to repeat, with a 4.7-star rating from more than 200 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who appreciate reflective memoirs about family history, apartheid, inherited patterns, faith, and reckoning with the past.

About the book
An honest and lyrical coming-of-age memoir of growing up in South Africa at the height of apartheid, and an invitation to recognize and refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers—from the bestselling author of Never Unfriended
“Heartfelt, emotionally charged reflections . . . [a] bracing memoir.”—Kirkus Review
“Important. Riveting. Unforgettable . . . a profoundly captivating story that can profoundly change your own story.”—Ann Voskamp, New York Times bestselling author of WayMaker
Born White in the heart of Zululand during the racial apartheid, Lisa-Jo Baker longed to write a new future for her children—a longing that set her on a journey to understand where she fit into a story of violence and faith, history and race. Before marriage and motherhood, she came to the United States to study to become a human rights advocate. When she naïvely walked right into America’s own turbulent racial landscape, Baker experienced the kind of painful awakening that is both individual and universal, personal and social. Yet years would go by before she traced this American trauma back to her own South African past.
Baker was a teenager when her mother died of cancer, leaving her with her father. Though they shared a language of faith and justice, she often feared him, unaware that his fierce temper had deep roots in a family’s and a nation’s pain. Decades later, old wounds reopened when she found herself spiraling into a terrifying version of her father, screaming herself hoarse at her son. Only then did Baker realize that to go forward—to refuse to repeat the sins of our fathers—we must first go back.
With a story that stretches from South Africa’s outback to Washington, D.C., It Wasn’t Roaring, It Was Weeping is a courageous look at inherited hurts and prejudices, and a hope-filled example for all who feel lost in life or worried that they’re too off course to make the necessary corrections. Baker’s story shows that it’s never too late to be free.

Two women.

About the book
Between 1854 and 1929, orphan trains carried abandoned children from the East Coast to the Midwest, their futures left to fate. Some found love. Others found hardship.
Vivian Daly was one of them. Torn from her Irish immigrant family and placed in the hands of strangers, she has spent a lifetime burying the past. But when seventeen-year-old Molly Ayer, a troubled foster child, is assigned to help her clean out her attic, the memories come rushing back.
As Molly and Vivian sort through the relics of a lost childhood, they uncover a connection neither expected. Separated by generations but bonded by experience, they must confront painful truths to forge a path forward.
A moving story of resilience, second chances, and the ties that bind, Orphan Train is unforgettable.

About the book
Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours... Get ready for a new sapphic bully romance!
CLAY
Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut.
Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.
That's me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide.
In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice.
For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine.
OLIVIA
I cross the tracks every day for one reason—to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red.
Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back.
At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her.
I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did.
And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.
