Susan’s novels Bells for Eli and The Girl from the Red Rose Motel have won numerous awards, including the South Carolina Fiction Prize twice and a nomination for the 2024 Pushcart Prize. Her latest novel, No Way Out But Through (publishing August 18), is based on a true story about two women of different generations—one scarred by an abusive teen marriage and the other by an alcoholic husband—who come together to grapple with their inner demons and confront their untold stories.
