For our summer issue, Millie editors chose to celebrate debut novels from five female authors who have bucked the odds and published books across a range of genres—from a graphic novel to the impossible-to-categorize chemist-turned-cooking-show-host. Next up to the stage is The Change by Kirsten Miller (@kirstenmillerbooks). What if menopause—coyly called “the change”—was a time when women banded together to right the wrongs they suffered pre-change? While Kirsten Miller is a widely published young adult author, this gothic-y thriller is her first adult offering and it’s a doozy. With their hot-flash-fueled strength and clarity of mind, the three central characters solve crimes while getting revenge on the men in their town who have abused their power for too long.
