Debut Novel Out This Fall
HANNAH
by JON-PAUL KHOURI
“Unique.”
“A brilliant debut.”
A debut novel that is at once utterly unique and instantly recognizable—in its resonant themes that deal with the mystery of life and death, and of the longing for one’s star. Through characters and relationships that are richly drawn, the book explores the need for family, home, and belonging—and speaks to the redemptive power of love; the power to heal deep wounds through nature, listening, and through the alchemy of storytelling. HANNAH invites the reader on a journey of self-discovery and to realize the purpose that you find there. Read more…
