All the Silent Voices
by Elena Mikalsen
Twenty-one years ago, Emma Shephard was raped in college and forced to leave. She has since built a new life as a loving wife and parent with a successful marketing career, but her world is rocked when her rapist becomes her boss. Soon, Emma faces an impossible choice between keeping her safe life or pursuing justice, putting her family in danger.

Secret Lives of Mothers & Daughters
by Anita Kushwaha
Veena, Mala and Nandini are three very different women with something in common. Out of love, each bears a secret that will haunt her life—and that of her daughter—when the risk of telling the truth is too great. But secrets have consequences. Particularly to Asha, the young woman on the cusp of adulthood who links them together.

Hear Us Roar! Debut Author Podcast
Jennifer Gold writes book club fiction about the relationships of real, flawed women — love, past mistakes, redemption, and all the stuff in between. Critics at Booklist have called her characters “multifaceted” and her storylines “compelling” and “bittersweet.” Jenni is a travel-obsessed romantic and ambivert. When she’s not writing, you can find her sipping coffee, enjoying the outdoors, or curled up with a book. She loves nature documentaries and realistic hopefully-ever-afters. Jenni lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and two cats.
Listen to the interview with Jennifer.
