    Tara Hodgson - At Least I'm Trying
    2025/10/11

    When the volleyball hits the floor mere inches from Reese’s hands, her dreams of playing

    college ball shatter.


    After consecutive failures on the court, in the classroom, and in her relationships, she’s done

    playing the part of perfect daughter, perfect student, and perfect athlete. It’s time for a new life.

    Enter Cassie Brentwood.


    Bold. Reckless. Free. Cassie is everything Reese isn’t yet longs to be. They quickly become

    friends and Cassie introduces her to Liam, a mysterious guy from Snapchat. Blinded by his love

    bombing and the desperation to shed her perfect image, Reese plunges head first into their world.

    It feels instantly thrilling… until it’s not.


    Girls are disappearing from nearby towns, however no one in their quiet small town seems

    concerned.


    But when Liam’s behaviour grows darker, Reese’s new life begins to unravel. She ignores the

    warnings. The red flags. The little voice screaming to her that something’s not right. Until she’s

    far from home, trapped in a nightmare she can’t escape.


    With no one left to trust, Reese has to fight to reclaim the life she was so eager to leave behind.

    She wanted freedom. Now, she just wants to go home.


    At least she has to try.


    Told with searing honesty and lyrical depth, At Least I’m Trying is a poignant novel about mental

    health, girlhood, and what happens when the version of yourself you’ve worked so hard to

    become starts to fall apart.

  • Lynda Williams - The Beauty and the Hell of It

    Lynda Williams - The Beauty and the Hell of It
    2025/10/11
    A woman comes face to face with her rapist at his engagement party. A teen reluctantly celebrating the first Christmas after her mother’s death gets caught cutting her wrists by a stranger. A student hands in a box of Kraft Dinner as her final assignment, and a bipolar art teacher grieves her divorce by online shopping. The Beauty and the Hell of It & Other Stories is a collection of stories about women (and one man) who quietly resist and the resulting moments of transition, acceptance, and vindication. Whether they wrestle with grief, growth, trauma, or all three, these characters don’t give in to expectations about who or how they should be. These stories will appeal to readers who enjoyed the pivotal moments of ordinary life in Sophie Stocking’s Walking Leonard and Other Stories and those who want a slice of contemporary womanhood served up with dark humour as offered in Meghan Bell’s Erase and Rewind.
