The Rhody Reader Box from Ink Fish Books, is a celebration of all things Rhode Island and it’s back for 2023, featuring local author Vanessa Lillie’s thriller Blood Sisters, along with locally made products by Juniper Hill Apothecary and Freya Soapworks, and Indigenous made artwork by Cherokee Copper, Kayla Miller, Gehdi Lynn Wilson, and Trisha Johnson with a portion of the proceeds to support the Tomaquag Museum located in Exeter, Rhode Island.

Inside the Rhody Reader Box is a signed copy of Lillie’s thriller Blood Sisters, a visceral and compelling mystery about a Cherokee archaeologist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs who is called back to rural Oklahoma to investigate the disappearance of two women…one of them is her sister.…

“Bingeworthy. A propulsive story of familial fault lines with as much to say about the dark side of people as the potential for redemption,” says Caroline Kepnes, New York Times bestselling author of the You series.

In addition to Blood Sisters the Rhody Reader Box includes: A custom hand-poured, small-batch soy wax candle made exclusively to compliment Blood Sisters, in the scent of sandalwood—made with love in Bristol, Rhode Island, by Juniper Hill Apothecary. An artisan vegan soap bar made with activated charcoal in a clean citrus scent with an embedded blue, white, and green swirled earth design by Freya Soapworks in Lincoln, Rhode Island. An authentic modern Native American necklace made by Cherokee Copper, made in their home studio of Oklahoma by Cherokee artists with an exclusive design from the logo of Rhode Island’s Tomaquag Museum. A bookmark designed and beaded by Cherokee artists, Kayla Miller and Gehdi Lynn Wilson, inspired by pre colonial southeastern woodland tribal art in Cherokee fire colors. A map to complement your reading of Blood Sisters featuring landmarks of northeastern Oklahoma and tribal nation borders with design work by Trisha Johnson, a tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, and Kelly Austin of Berkley Books.

The Tomaquag Museum in Exeter, Rhode Island, is this year’s selected non-profit to receive a donation from all Rhody Reader Box purchases. Their mission is to educate everyone on Indigenous cultures of Southern New England through engagement and shared dialogue to reconcile the past and empower present and future generations.

Readers can add-on to the Rhody Reader Box by purchasing a copy of Lillie’s earlier work, For the Best and Little Voices.

Vanessa Lillie is the bestselling author of the thrillers Little Voices, For the Best and coauthor of the Young Rich Widows series. Her forthcoming novel, Blood Sisters, launches a new suspense series and releases October 31, 2023.
