“My newest novel, Tiny House of God is now available as an audiobook through Audible! It was so much fun (and work) to record.”

“Kalton Harris says it's pretty common for young men like Dontay to drop out of programs designed to help them. All the barriers to good jobs, and all the other barriers that exist out in the world outside the program, are part of the reason, he says, but there is another: they have been deeply hurt at a young age, and they don't know how to deal with it.”
Roxanna Asgarian, We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America
