Under An Indiana Sky
Coming October 13, 2026
"Under an Indiana Sky goes deep under the surface of a family being destroyed by drugs and the lies that support dealing and addiction … a heart pounding page turner that ultimately offers hope and redemption. Lynne Hugo is the real deal." — Alice Elliott Dark, author of Fellowship Point and In the Gloaming
​
“Hugo creates complex and engaging characters and intertwines their narratives effortlessly and effectively. The characters all come with their own history, desires, fears, and motivations, and the narrative’s intense emotional turmoil is compelling, painful, and familiar … the author tackles themes of addiction, religion, family, and hope with grace and careful consideration. Packed with many thought-provoking ideas, Hugo’s novel would make an excellent book club selection … A painful and compelling tale of addiction, sisterhood, and hope.” — Kirkus
Mothers of Fate
“Lynne Hugo unspools a tender tale of parenthood in all its many faces as her characters struggle to live with the outcome of their past decisions. Those past choices color the present in bold strokes, raising the stakes to keep the pages turning.”—Diane Chamberlain, New York Times bestselling author of The Last House on the Street
“Lynne Hugo’s brilliantly prismatic story is about choice verses destiny, forgiveness versus acceptance ..... Secrets emerge, relationships fracture, but out of the wreckage, Hugo has built a moving, extraordinary story of hope. I loved it.”
—Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You and Days of Wonder
The Language of Kin
"Brilliant, fascinating and deeply moving ... gracefully written, this is a book that astonishes, even as it shows the way to cross divides ... Full of science, love and drama, I couldn't love this book more if I tried." — Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of With or Without You
​
"An emotional read full of page-turning highs and cathartic sorrows. I fell in love with this complicated, compelling cast, both human and otherwise." — Katrina Kittle, author of Morning In This Broken World

A Matter of Mercy
"With dazzling prose, a merciless eye for truth, and a gotta-know story, A Matter of Mercy stapled me to the couch. Between the remarkable story of class war and aquaculture in Wellfleet, grief etched in acid on glass, and the miracle of love in the most unlikely of connections, author Hugo offers pure gold." — Randy Susan Meyers, international bestselling author, Waisted
"Seamlessly blending fascinating historical detail with a legal drama and a contemporary romance, Hugo exquisitely captures not only the wind-swept landscape of the outer Cape, but also the complicated landscape of the heart." — Karen Dukess, author of The Last Book Party
