It is with immense joy and pride that we present the 57th issue of Reader's House Magazine. As we celebrate yet another milestone, we dedicate this issue to the transformative power of storytelling-a force that connects us across cultures, generations, and experiences.

Her journey from STEM professor to celebrated writer is both inspiring and humbling, a testament to the many ways creativity can bloom when nurtured by resilience, curiosity, and an unyielding desire to tell the stories that matter. Apple's memoir Las Crosses invites readers on a deeply personal journey, while her award-winning novel Mother of Red Mountains expands the lens, exploring themes of motherhood, history, and cultural identity with universal resonance. Her literary contributions illuminate the quiet strength found in everyday lives, dismantling stereotypes and fostering understanding, one heartfelt story at a time.
