In April 2016, Glory over Everything: Beyond the Kitchen House will be published-a stand-alone novel, but continuing The Kitchen House story. Sheanin said, "It had an Alice Walker quote and we were publishing into The Help phenomenon, but no one expected it to be the runaway bestseller that it was." It became a New York Times bestseller and book club favorite-so popular that, in 2014, a hardcover "classic" edition was published. The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom (Touchstone, $16) is the story of a white indentured servant on a Virginia tobacco farm in 1791 it was published in 2010 as a paperback original, with a modest first printing. We recently spoke to Wendy Sheanin, v-p, director of marketing at Simon & Schuster, about two debut novels-neither was a lead title, but booksellers turned them into bestsellers.
Not all books are promoted equally, but no matter the time and money spent, there are always surprises.
