Ryan Stradal, New York Times best-selling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest and The Lager Queen of Minnesota) A whip-smart, entertaining novel about twin siblings who become a national phenomenon after launching a podcast to find the biological father they never knew. The death of Thomas and Savannah McClair’s mother turns their world upside down.

Meditations with Miya Blue
Summary
Meditations with Miya Blue is an upbeat, irreverent story of a wellness influencer living her best (sponsored) life. That is, until a very un-Zen series of events threatens to pull the thread of Miya's calm and unravel her carefully woven world. Miya Blue was raised in the public eye as the darling child star on reality show Communal, a hit series that documented the joys and dramas of 36 people experimenting with communal living in rural California. Now in her late twenties, Miya has grown her fan base and created a multi-million dollar brand called "Bluem", selling her philosophy, meditations, and lifestyle products to people all over the world. In a pivotal moment for the company, the launch of a new line of "nutritional" supplements goes horribly wrong when customers (and, worse, bloggers) complain that the products are making them sick. Then, one of Miya’s most loyal employees, April, abruptly quits, all while her big plans for the next phase of Bluem start to come undone. The whole brand - and Miya’s livelihood - is suddenly on shaky ground. And Miya will have to leverage both her spiritual strength and her killer business sense to save it.
