Dear Reader,

My latest book, Hester: The Missing Years of the Scarlet Letter, is entering a new phase. It's just been released in paperback with an added section that's perfect for book clubs! Reviewers have been saying some pretty wonderful things about Hester:

Told with wonderful attention to historical detail, HESTER is a beautiful story...Paula Reed exhibits sensational wisdom in the words she issues from Hester's mouth.
—Kate Ayers-bookreporter.com

...Reed has created an entertaining and unlikely sequel.
—Publishers Weekly

Reed's confident debut amiably reimagines Hawthorne's tragic heroine as a brave lady in tumultuous times...
—Kirkus Reviews

If your book club does read Hester, be sure to look at the "Contact" page here on my website. I'd love to hear from you and arrange a way to be part of your group's discussion through a personal appearance in the Denver area or teleconference or video call outside of Denver.

Happy Reading,
Paula Reed
