HAPPY PUB DAY 🥳 Wishing a Happy Publication Day to FALLOUT by Liz Kay!!

FALLOUT is a gripping Cold War-era domestic thriller that delves into the hidden tensions, loyalties, and secrets of American military families stationed in 1980s West Germany. The story blends coming-of-age drama with high-stakes suspense and rich historical detail.

“Fallout, Liz Kay’s masterful novel about American military families stationed overseas, is a literary high-wire act. Blending propulsive pacing, vivid period detail, and richly complex characters, Kay explores the big questions: war and peace, loyalty and betrayal, friendship, motherhood, and what it means to serve. Beautifully conceived and perfectly executed, Kay illustrates that the conflicts we face at home are often as wrenching, as relentless, and occasionally as deadly, as the battles we fight on the front.”
—Jillian Medoff, author of WHEN WE WERE BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL, THIS COULD HURT, I COULDN'T LOVE YOU MORE, and other novels.
