From the author of The Change, comes a novel about book banning and those brave enough to stand up against this censorship.
IT'S TIME TO RISE UP
In Troy, Georgia, local woman Lula Dean has campaigned to cleanse the town's reading habits. All the 'disgusting', 'pornographic' and downright 'un-American' books have been removed from public spaces. Now, the townspeople are only allowed to read 'appropriate' books from Lula's personal lending library.
But a small group refuse to be told what they can and cannot read and, unbeknownst to Lula, her personal collection is slowly restocked with banned books: literary classics, gay romances, Black history, spell books, and more.
One by one, each person who borrows the books from Lula's library find their lives changed in unexpected ways. And as they begin to reveal their new selves, it's clear that a showdown is fast approaching - one that will change the town of Troy forever ...

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Kirsten Miller grew up in a small town in the mountains of North Carolina. At seventeen, she hit the road and moved to New York City, where she lives to this day. Kirsten's first adult novel, The Change, is a feel-good feminist revenge fantasy and was selected by The Guardian, Prima, and Woman & Home in their 'Books of Year' round ups. Lula's Little Library of Banned Books is her second adult novel, and explores book banning and those brave enough to stand up against this censorship.
