Lighthouse’s four-time Lit Fest alumna, Kristin Koval, recently published a stunning debut novel, Penitence, which was named a Barnes & Noble Discover Pick for February 2025, a People Magazine Best Book of the Week, and a Goodreads Hottest Debut of 2025, among many other recognitions. Her publishers recommend this addictive page turner for readers of Ann Patchett and Celeste Ng. Penitence is a poignant exploration of love and forgiveness.
