The Promise: Ann Weisgarber’s second historical novel, set in Texas and shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction “is full of intrigue, lies and truths, all set against the backdrop of steamy Galveston in its heyday,” says Koehler. The Truth About Alice: Houston teacher Jen Mathieu writes a riveting young adult novel about bullying, told from different points of view. “What makes this novel so appealing is that she shades all the characters in gray, which makes the unlikeable believable and compels us to empathize with all of them,” says Koehler. bayoucitymagazine.com
