"When you read to a child, when you put a book in a child's hands, you are bringing that child news of the infinitely varied nature of life. You are an awakener."

"Jamie Quatro's
Fire Sermon is like a baptism in sensation--fraught, sexy, and solemn, the novel details writer Maggie's flawed and prolonged attempts to navigate a labyrinth of obligations to her husband, her scholarly ambition, her extramarital desire, and her God. Expertly paced and thoughtfully arranged, it's a rich, contradictory, and deeply human story. You'll burn through this book and feel it smoking in your chest long after you finish." - KO
Jamie Quatro is the author of
I Want To Show You More. She is a visiting professor in the Sewanee School of Letters MFA program, a contributing editor at
