Non-Fiction Spotlight of the Week: In Pieces by Sally Field

Sally Field’s In Pieces is not the kind of celebrity memoir that feels written to polish a legacy. It is intimate, painful, funny, and remarkably honest: a woman looking back at the experiences that shaped her and trying to understand how all those pieces became the person she is. That honesty makes the book especially meaningful when remembering her alongside Dolly Parton, her Steel Magnolias costar. The two women brought very different lives and personalities to the screen, but shared the same warmth, humor, and ability to make difficult stories feel deeply human. Reading Field’s memoir now is also a reminder of the kind of people Dolly surrounded herself with: talented women who could be strong, vulnerable, funny, and completely themselves.

Fiction Spotlight of the Week: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

First self-published in 2023, Theo of Golden has become one of the rare books whose popularity only seems to grow with time. What began as a quiet, word-of-mouth success eventually became a national bestseller, with readers continuing to discover and recommend Allen Levi’s novel years after its original release. Its remarkable staying power speaks to the book’s ability to connect with readers through its themes of kindness, community, faith, and the unexpected ways people can change one another.

YA Spotlight of the Week: Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri

Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri is a powerful and deeply personal coming-of-age story about memory, family, faith, and the meaning of home. Told through the eyes of twelve-year-old Khosrou, the novel follows his journey from Iran to the United States as he recounts stories of his childhood, his mother, and the life he left behind.

Blending humor, heartbreak, Persian history, and unforgettable storytelling, Nayeri explores how we use stories to make sense of who we are and where we belong. At its heart, the novel asks a deceptively simple question: What makes a story true?
