In Apple, Tree: Writers on Their Parents (September, 2019), editor Lise Funderburg gathers twenty-five outstanding writers to deftly explore a trait they’ve inherited from a parent, reflecting on how it affects the lives they lead today.
In a starred-review, Publishers Weekly called it a “sparkling anthology . . .

Bookstores across the country will host contributors to read from, discuss, and sign books in New York, Washington D.C., Portland, San Francisco, and Philadelphia:
We hope you can make it to one of these events, or find the book at a local bookstore near you. Editor Lise Funderburg shares a taste of what’s inside on Twitter:
