The House Uptown

New Orleans is a character unto itself in Melissa Ginsburg's The House Uptown. After her mother's death, 14-year-old Ava is sent to live with Lane, the grandmother she barely knows. But for Lane, Ava's arrival is even more fraught as it brings back long-buried memories she's spent years trying to forget.

The Performance

A night at the theater leads to the lives of three women intersecting in unexpected ways in Claire Thomas's The Performance.
