PSOV member Samantha Kolber is publishing her fiction debut on December 1st with “What She Stole” a lyrical coming-of-age novel about a young woman named Eloise Goldstein who struggles to feel loved and find her voice amid a chaotic household. Eloise, shaped by the dichotomies of memory and trauma, uses writing, mothering, and bodywork to heal.
“What She Stole is a well-executed literary coming-of-age novel, and Eloise is a protagonist we want to root for…Sharon is brilliantly written as a mother Eloise can never quite read…Kolber immerses readers in the settings, from the hot seaside boardwalk beneath Eloise’s bare feet to winter trees outside an English classroom inspiring her first poem. Well written and extremely thoughtful, readers who enjoy true, pure literary fiction will adore this.”
