Title: The Atlas of Untold Stories
Author: Sara Brunsvold
Genre: Christian Fiction
Publication Date: June 17, 2025
Publisher: Revell
Synopsis:
Irrepressible dreamer Chloe Vance needs to tell her pragmatic mom, Edie, that she has accepted a low-paying, two-year art instructor role at a Christian international school in Prague. And her older sister, Lauren–the “responsible one”–is doing all she can to keep the family from finding out she has been fired for a stupid mistake, plus figure out her next career move. Meanwhile, Edie, estranged from her own sister following their mother’s recent death, is frankly in no mood for anything else to change.
The one thing they can all agree on? Life in books sure is easier to figure out than life in the real world. As the three women embark on a nine-day road trip to visit significant literary sites throughout America’s heartland, they hope to find inspiration through the works and lives of literary greats. And as they experience firsthand the adventure and wonder of the classics, they’ll have to come to terms with their own needs and desires, as well as those of the most important women in their lives–each other.
Book lovers can join the ride through America’s literary landscape as award-winning novelist Sara Brunsvold takes you on a trip through the sometimes difficult but always beautiful terrain of being a mother, a daughter, and a sister.
My thoughts:
I have positively gushed about Sara Brunsvold’s previous two novels, and The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip may be one of my favorite books of all time. Am I excited to see what journey she takes us on in her next novel? You know it! June 2025. I think I’ll get the book as a birthday present to myself.
I really enjoyed The Divine Proverb of Streusel, so will be watching for this one. Great choice.
Have you read The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip? I BIG PUFFY HEART LOVED that one. So good, I had to drop everything and write a review as soon as I finished reading it so I wouldn’t forget anything.
Hope you love this one as much as her others. Thanks for sharing!
I love the sound of this one – sibling relationships are so often interestingly complicated:).
I love her books and this is one of my most anticipated releases for this year as well! I am sure it is going to be fabulous!
Can’t wait to hear what you think of it, Cindy!
