Last Month's Original Voices selections
 | The Calligrapher's Daughter by Eugenia Kim If you like a little history with your heartache, this is the book for you. Kim weaves an astonishing story—inspired by her mother's life—that spans 30 years in war-torn Korea. |
 | Tide, Feather, Snow: A Life in Alaska by Miranda Weiss Ever thought about packing up and moving to Alaska? Weiss did—and here, she poetically chronicles her amazing adventures, from skinning wild game to reconsidering her relationships. |
 | Picking Cotton by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino The gripping true story of a man sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit—and the woman who mistakenly accused him. This remarkable tale of forgiveness will never leave you. |
 | The Natural Laws of Good Luck by Kwei Quartey Marriage is a deeply personal choice. Graf made a choice that's not only personal, but incredible—she married a man who speaks a language other than her own. A riveting look at relationships. |
 | The Red Shoes by Eleri Glass What woman doesn't remember desiring the sparkly red slippers instead of the "sensible" brown ones her mother wanted her to buy? A charming, uplifting tale. (Bonus: Check out the '60s fashions!) |
