If you're looking for a new book to add to your summer reading list, Beware the Tall Grass by local author Ellen Morris could be a great new read for you! This book will move you, break you, and sometimes leave you raw, but also all the more tender for having read it. If you are in need of a complex emotional read, you can pick up the novel with our Bookshop link below:

We’re especially interested in:

• Jewelry and accessories
• Kentucky-made products
• Literary, vintage-inspired, or book-themed creations
