You have more power than you think available at your fingertips. Whether your child is struggling just a little bit or your child has been diagnosed with dyslexia, your child will benefit from this process.

The daughter of one of the South’s most famous Baptist preachers discovers a shocking secret about her father that puts her at odds with both her faith and her family in this debut novel. “Spellbinding…Revival Season should be read alongside Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus.” —The Washington Post A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Every summer, fifteen-year-old Miriam Horton and her family pack themselves tight in their old minivan and travel through small southern towns for revival season: the time when Miriam’s father—one of the South’s most famous preachers—holds massive healing services for people desperate to be cured of ailments and disease. But, this summer, the revival season doesn’t go as planned, and after one service in which Reverend Horton’s healing powers are tested like never before, Miriam witnesses a shocking act of violence that shakes her belief in her father—and her faith. When the Hortons return home, Miriam’s confusion only grows as she discovers she might have the power to heal—even though her father and the church have always made it clear that such power is denied to women. Over the course of the following year, Miriam must decide between her faith, her family, and her newfound power that might be able to save others, but if discovered by her father, could destroy Miriam. Celebrating both feminism and faith, Revival Season is a “tender and wise” (Ann Patchett) story of spiritual awakening and disillusionment in a Southern, Black, Evangelical community.

The Rowan Institute for Gifted Youth often feels more like a prison to Bailey Lowe than a spy academy. That opinion doesn't change when he meets Oliver, a new student shackled to the Institute by his ties to the outside world. Nor does it change when he meets Lucien, a charming and seemingly well-meaning barista that has taken a suspicious shine to him. His distaste for the Rowan Institute only grows as he learns that it isn't the fortress it is meant to be, and nobody will give him answers about the unknown entity that seems to be targeting students-Bailey included. Bailey can only hope that he's strong enough to keep his friends, both new and old, safe while things begin to fall apart around them. And that they don't run out of tea.
