+FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
+Oct. 10, 2024  
+
+**Debut Novel 'Echoes of the Lost' Published by Horizon Books**  
+
+*Jane Doe's first book examines family secrets amid post-World War II displacement.*  
+
+NEW YORK -- Jane Doe released her debut novel "Echoes of the Lost" on Thursday through Horizon Books, distributed nationwide by Ingram Content Group.  
+The 320-page work draws on the author's research into European refugee stories from the 1940s. Doe, a former journalist, spent three years writing the book after discovering her grandmother's unpublished letters.  
+
+The novel follows a Polish family's journey to rebuild in Chicago after fleeing Soviet occupation, blending historical records with fictional narrative. Early reviews from Kirkus and Publishers Weekly noted its basis in declassified U.S. State Department archives.  
+
+"These letters weren't just family history—they revealed how ordinary people navigated impossible choices during the war's aftermath," Doe said. "I wanted to honor those voices without romanticizing the trauma."  
+
+Horizon Books reports 15,000 pre-orders through independent bookstores and Amazon. The title secured a spot on Apple Books' historical fiction pre-release list.  
+
+"This is the kind of grounded historical fiction that fills a gap in post-war narratives," said Elena Rivera, editor at Horizon Books.  
+
+"Echoes of the Lost" is available in hardcover ($27.99), e-book ($14.99) and audiobook formats from major retailers including Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million and Bookshop.org. Doe will appear at the Chicago Book Festival on Oct. 20.

+###
