We hope you enjoy this excerpt from one of our Nonfiction Winners, Gods for Other Lives.
Writer Laura Marshall immediately pulls us in through the senses (snot on sleeves, fingernails in a forearm), and we can both relate to and feel for her second-grade self.
She packs in so many details while keeping a faster pace. Beautifully done. ❤️
