Okra Picks: Great Southern Books Fresh Off the Vine

The Okra Picks are a dozen fresh titles chosen each season that Southern Indie Bookstores are especially excited about. The books are southern in nature but can cover any genre, not just fiction. Southerners love their writers, and Southern Indie Booksellers have a knack for finding the best of the crop.

A new harvest of Okra Picks will be announced each publishing season, so check back often to see what's fresh off the vine this month!
