We are a heritage press devoted to discovering and reissuing ought-to-be-in-print books by American women authors—and occasionally others—who’ve been shelved for far too long.
A good book from yesterday is a great place to start a conversation today.
Our hope is to build a home for readers who quite literally love books as much as we do. If you’d like to know more about who we are—what we’re reading and recommending, our ponderings and wanderings—and connect with other thoughtful readers, please sign up!

OUR BOOKS
The Home-Maker
By Dorothy Canfield Fisher
Evangeline is the best home-maker in town, but maintaining perfection is taking a toll. Her husband Lester, a poet trapped in the body of a bookkeeper, feels professionally and personally unfulfilled.
Angela, a talented and ambitious Black woman, leaves her Philadelphia family for Greenwich Village, where she passes as white to access new opportunities. But navigating love, career, and friendships won’t be easy on her own.
