‘I’ll Come to You’ is a new novel by Rebecca Kauffman (‘The Gunners’) about one family over the course of 1995. It’s a beautiful character study that would make for an excellent book club choice.

Happy paperback publication day to GOLDENSEAL by Maria Hummel! 🌅

A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW meets MY BRILLIANT FRIEND in this novel of two estranged friends who reunite to confront each other and the devastating betrayal that tore them apart. Set against the vivid landscapes of Los Angeles and unfolding with the evanescence of a dream, GOLDENSEAL peels away the layers of an intimate female friendship to reveal a stirring and haunting story about the search for connection and the lingering echoes of lost love.

✨ "A meditation on female friendship, loneliness, and how to move on after betrayal, Goldenseal is both melancholy and escapist." — Zibby Owens

✨ "Goldenseal is a novel about agency and friendship whose questions reverberate far beyond its two protagonists and their particular time and place." — Los Angeles Times

✨ "In this taut, tense, and layered novel, Hummel deftly examines the lives of two flawed women against the backdrop of the upheavals of the twentieth century." — Booklist

"I wonder what sorts of experiences you’ll have in your life that will hook inside you. I mean, they’ll keep revisiting you (or you’ll keep revisiting them; I’m not sure which is more true of the way thoughts happen) until the day you die."

Happy publication day to Rebecca Kauffman’s highly-anticipated new novel, I’LL COME TO YOU! ✨

In her fifth novel, Rebecca Kauffman investigates themes of intimacy, memory, loss, grief, and reconciliation, and the wonder, terror, frustration, fear, and magic of brushing up against the unknowable—both around us and within us.

⭐️Named a January 2025 Indie Next Pick! ⭐️

⭐️ “The joy in this book is something to admire deeply. . . . Kauffman does provide, with exquisite precision, all the toxic snits, the petty furies, the lure of nostalgia, the gnaw of needs never met. But she insists, too, on granting each character, siloed though they may be, their share of wins. The delights aren’t cheap, either: Kauffman loves them enough to bestow upon them the genuine, radiant, quiet, don’t blink kind of happiness. She shows us there is room in a novel—as in the heart—for everyone.” —

⭐️ “Rebecca Kauffman writes like a sunbeam, strong and warm on whatever lands in her path. This book only looks short—in reality, it reveals a family so richly drawn, so deep and complex, that it contains the whole world.” —

🏠 COVER ANNOUNCEMENT 🏠 Last reveal of 2024! Here's the gorgeous cover of Ivonne Lamazares' THE TILTING HOUSE, designed by Jaya Miceli with art direction by Nicole Caputo!

THE TILTING HOUSE goes on sale 7.22.25, but is available to preorder now!

About the book:
Two estranged sisters with a complicated past and an acrimonious present reunite in 1990s Cuba to confront the riddle of family amid the scars of political upheaval.

In the summer of 1993, Yuri, a teenage orphan, is living with her strict, religious aunt Ruth in a Havana suburb when Mariela, a thirty-four-year-old artist, arrives from the United States with a shocking revelation. She claims to be Yuri’s sister, insisting that she and Yuri share a mother, and that Ruth essentially kidnapped her when she sent her into exile against her will through Operation Pedro Pan. Forced to grow up in orphanages, Mariela has spent the past three decades in the United States and has returned to Cuba to reclaim her roots, make art, and perhaps seek vengeance on Ruth. Yuri is both fascinated and repulsed by the young, glamorous, and aggrieved Mariela. When Ruth is jailed for unknown charges, Yuri falls further into Mariela’s mercurial orbit.

Spanning two countries and three decades, THE TILTING HOUSE explores identity and family loyalty, the effects of losing one’s mother and motherland, the scars of political and historical upheaval, and an immigrant’s complex quest both to return “home” and to be free from the past. Through her long journey, Yuri comes to understand that the past cannot be fully recovered, or fully escaped, even as she approaches the possibility of compassion for Mariela, for Ruth, for others, and for herself.
