Pop Song
"A warm and expansive portrait of a woman’s mind that feels at once singular and universal," this collection of essays interweaves commentary on modern life, feminism, art, and sex with the author's own experiences of obsession, heartbreak, and vulnerability (BuzzFeed). Like a song that feels written just for you, Larissa Pham's debut work of nonfiction captures the imagination and refuses to let go. Pop Song is a book about love and about falling in love—with a place, or a painting, or a person—and the joy and terror inherent in the experience of that love. Plumbing the well of culture for clues and patterns about love and loss—from Agnes Martin's abstract paintings to James Turrell...
An Inheritance of Hope
A deadly virus is raging war on the human race, and the CDC and its global partners can't stop it. When patient zero enters the United States from China via San Francisco with a connecting flight to Boston, no one is aware of the pandemic he has unleashed in the country. Riley Cooper and her teenagers leave California in the early hours of the morning bound for Utah, on what was to be a month-long vacation at her parents' home. During the first six hours of her drive, Riley feels something is wrong but can't quite put her finger on it. Pulling over in Saint George for food and gas, she and her kids find the world they knew has begun to unravel. In its wake-good, decent, law-abiding citizens have become their own worst nightmares by committing the most vile and heinous crimes. Riley's only mission is to ensure a future for her children in a world that doesn't want them to have one. Through the midst of all the terror and horrors of the world, Riley is reintroduced to the one true God and the resounding love He has for her family and the people that have joined them. Because of Him, hope is more than just a word; it is the new foundation for the world that lies before them.

Larissa's Breadbook
Do you ever wonder what makes the South one of the most incredible places on Earth? As Larissa discovers, it's the awe-inspiring women. In this engaging story, ten remarkable women from rich and varied cultures share their words, their wit, their wisdom, and their lives. The language of these women "is colorful and nuanced and often poetic, and the folks whose lives the storyteller enters and exits are complicated and comic, and at the same time often tragic. This community, woven together by the storyteller's enchantments...is moving and memorable." Lois Parkinson Zamora, professor at University of Houston, made those comments about the stories in Just Plain Folks, Lorraine Johnson-Coleman's earlier work. But they could just as easily have been written about the characters in Larissa's BreadBook.
