Jessica Powers is very, very good.
FWIW, I haven’t read The Shack, but the folks I know who have read it have hated it.
The Year of Living Biblically is fascinating. Especially the way acting a certain way changed the way he thought.
If you like Lahiri, you should try her short story collection too (Interpreter of Maladies). I like it better than her novel.
