Beth Lordan is the author of three books of fiction: the novel August Heat; the short story collection And Both Shall Row; and her latest, a novel in stories, But Come Ye Back. The Christian Science Monitor wrote that the new book offers "quiet stories with emotions like old stepping-stones that have sunk beneath the surface."
