Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by LitHub.
Walls’s memoir, The Glass Castle, has been a New York Times bestseller for more than eight years. She is also the author of the bestsellers The Silver Star and Half Broke Horses, which was named one of the ten best books of 2009 by the editors of The New York Times Book Review.
Walls lives in rural Virginia with her husband, the writer John Taylor.
Songwriter Molly Thomas was born in Ocean Springs, MS, and now lives in Fairhope, AL. Her latest releases with her band, the Rare Birds, include the LP, Honey’s Fury, as well as her “Covid single,” Everything’s Going to Be Okay.
Thomas has released four critically acclaimed records as a solo artist and her music has appeared in films.
“Ms. Thomas asserts herself and the band supports her well. If today’s rock & roll burns the coal slow then [Honey’s Fury] is doused with starter fluid. Fiery like The Avett Brothers & The Mumfords. All good.” – Americana Highways
