Olivetti by: Allie Millington
Praised by Tom Hanks in the New York Times as "a great favor" to readers, this unique novel follows a young boy and a sentient typewriter as they search for the boy's mother.
"Typewriters are like elephants. Unable to forget. The things we are told, we hold withing our stelel frames. We keep them safe. We keep them in." ~ Olivetti

Unlikely Angel: The Songs of Dolly Parton
"I’m so excited about the book Unlikely Angel: The Songs of Dolly Parton spotlighting Dolly's unmatched gift as a songwriter. Always honoring and forgiving, Dolly shines only the best light on circumstances that would've taken the rest of us out. She's the hero who continues to encourage those who wanted change or wished to go back, bringing to life a part of the country and an existence most of us didn't know or understand, all while making hard living seem like heaven on earth. Her magical combination of heart and genius is a most awe inspiring thing to witness, having a beauty and delivery like no other. Dolly's tales of family, faith, and romance have created an American treasure who has continued to enrapture the world for decades. What a gift for us to see life through hers." ~ Alison Krauss
