This month’s giveaway is a little different from the historical fiction and fantasy novels I often feature. Kwame Come Home by Peter Okonkwo is a moving work that blends narrative storytelling, prose poetry, and dialogue into something that feels almost like a stage play. At its heart is a deeply human story about migration, family,…

Each month I do a giveaway to people…
