Very excited to announce my novel, Appraisals, coming in August! Sarah Vogel, author of The Farmer's Lawyer, says "this is a book for anyone who loves fresh vegetables and fruits, wants to prevent environmental collapse, and cares about family farmers." Pre-order: bookshop.org/p/books/appr...

A book covers shows a woman farmer walking through a vegetable field.
