read articleSolitaire by Kelley Eskridge is Back in Print
I'm not shy about letting people know that Kelley Eskridge's debut novel Solitaire is possibly my favorite book I've read in the last decade. It was shocking to me that it was her first novel because it was so firm handed that I'd have easily believed it was her dozenth. She had opportunities to...
