Hello, friends
This will be an adventure, this Goodreads. While I've been on social media for years, Goodreads is new, and I'm looking forward to interacting with folks. And oh, yes—my debut novel, "Tiny Tin House," is now available on Amazon and at various bookstores, and I'm caught between elation and cold terror. Tiny Tin House
My Kirkus Review!
I am so thrilled to share my Kirkus Review for Tiny Tin House! The link is below, but one quote that really has me jazzed is this: "Maristatter’s prose is urgent and imaginative over the course of this novel, and the dystopia it fleshes out is frightfully intricate." And their recommendation is to GET IT. Thank you, Kirkus!

I'm a guest on the Divinely Modern podcast!
Haley the Scientist and I had a fascinating, fun and sobering chat about patriarchy, Christian feminism, the church, and Christian nationalism. (And, of course, my novel!) We touched on concepts from books by Rachel Held Evans, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, Beth Allison Barr, Philip B. Payne, Sarah Bessey, and much more!

"It’s conditioning. It is psychological conditioning. It’s not just saying, 'Daddy says you can’t go to college.' It’s saying, 'Daddy says you can’t go to college, and you know what? God says that, too. And if you do, you’re going to hell.' And that is spiritual abuse." ~L Maristatter

Tiny Tin House is available as an audiobook!
(And there is much cheering! Check it out on Audible!)
In the Christian States of America, where religion rules, one woman discovers the only rules are about survival.
Although she’s legally an adult, eighteen-year-old Meryn Flint must live at home until her stepfather, Ray, finds her a husband. That’s the law.
But when Ray kills her mother and Meryn must flee for her own safety, she quickly discovers there’s no safe place in the CSA for a woman on the run. Unless she’s willing to marry her former boyfriend—a man who’s already demonstrated his capacity for violence—she’ll be forced to live on the street. And that’s a dangerous option for a woman alone.
As time runs out, Meryn is offered a third path: build herself a tiny house, a safe place to call home. Even though it’s a violation of her Family Duty as well as every moral law on the books, Meryn seizes the chance.
But even a tiny tin house might not be enough to save her . . .
