Jess Corban graduated college with a degree in Communications and, perhaps more instructive, thirteen stamps in her passport. After college, a chance interview at a small publisher for an even smaller position sparked a love for writing that turned into twelve nonfiction books (under various pseudonyms). Now Jess lives with her husband and two daughters in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, where she finds inspiration in a sky full of stars and hiking the Canyon of the Kings. A Gentle Tyranny is her debut novel.

Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
"this reminded me of one of my favourite books, ‘beartown.’ not because of the hockey, but in the way that both are about small communities affected by the actions of their youth.
