Another storm is on the horizon for the Reynolds women. And the only way out is to go through it. Good things never happen in November—at least not for the Reynolds women. It was the month they lost their patriarch. And the month when fourteen-year-old Trinity went missing during a tropical storm. So Hope Reynolds isn’t surprised when it becomes the month she walks in on her boyfriend kissing another woman. Or when she receives a panicked call from her mother about a mistake that could cost the family their treasured beach house. Meanwhile, Faith Reynolds-Phillips is facing her own financial struggles. She’s also looking down the barrel of divorce and raising a daughter who reminds her so much of her younger sister, Trinity, that sometimes it physically hurts. The last place Hope and Faith want to be is in Hallelujah, South Carolina, during hurricane season. Going home will force them to confront the secrets that have torn their family apart. But if they can survive another storm, they’ll have a chance to rebuild on a new foundation—the truth. In the latest novel from prolific writer Vanessa Miller, three women must find the strength to endure the storm and the faith to believe in a miracle. “A heartwarming, page-turning, beautiful story about family secrets, mother-daughter relationships, forgiveness, and restored faith.” —Kimberla Lawson Roby, New York Times bestselling author Inspiring contemporary fiction Stand-alone novel Includes discussion questions for book clubs Other books by Vanessa Miller: Something Good

*Originally published as “I Hate Hate!” in November 2022. Alma is a counselor at the Tolerance Department, known for being patient and kind with even her most difficult clients. But inside, she’s haunted by a feeling that something’s missing. She’s joined by a diverse cast of characters, all trying to make America a better place, including a newscaster whose fans police the streets using just their cell phones, a corporate lawyer battling emotional injustice in his spare time, and a Bangladeshi immigrant convinced—despite all evidence to the contrary—that he’s living the American dream. As the nation grows more and more zealous in its reckoning with its own past and present sins, they all stumble, they all struggle to adapt, and they all come perilously close to ending up on the wrong side of the ideals they so cherish. Hate Hunters takes an unflinching, satirical look at this moment in America, and poses timeless questions about the nature of guilt, shame, punishment, innocence, and redemption.

The ruby is the world's most precious and rare stone. For the ancient Hindus, the ruby was Rajnapura: the Gem of Gems, at whose heart surges an eternal, unquenchable flame. Yet, for all its rarity and beauty, the ruby has always been a slightly sinister stone. Indian legend says the ruby was born from the blood of a demon. Indeed, the ruby is very close to a wild, living being: fiery, passionate, and dangerous. It has been at the center of love and wars, a symbol of passion, greed, and strong magic. Ancient sages and modern crystal healers have credited it with strange powers—from the granting of prophetic insight to protecting one from bullets. It has long been part of the human journey: coveted, fought over, and feared. Morgan considers all the beautiful and terrifying facets of this magnificent stone: scientific, economic, mythological, and spiritual. She discusses the great stones and great heists of the ruby world—and the famous fakes, too—the great Black Prince and renowned Timur. She closes with a discussion of the making of synthetic rubies and the laser beam.
