This week there are 36 new books publishing, including The River Knows Your Name by Kelly Mustian.
This literary fiction novel is described as, "a well-woven story that also plumbs the depths of the human heart, intertwining the power and wildness of the natural world and the risks people take for love. A novel about both running from the past and running after it, The River Knows Your Name woke me up early and kept me up late" (Ash Davidson, author of Damnation Spring).
