Caroline Kusin Pritchard :: How Now Booking

“A stirring testament to the power of books to unite us all for good…Pritchard’s forceful writing is marked by inspired turns of phrase. A recurring refrain set in blue type—“Keep our stories alive”—is breathlessly addressed to the walls of the library, to the firefighters’ blankets, to the sprays of rushing water, and to the pages themselves.” – Starred Kirkus Review for The Keeper of Stories
