One of Literary Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2026

A deeply moving, continuously surprising meditation on loss, time, psychology, and numerology in this genre-defying blend of memoir, poetry, and history from Grief Girl author Erin Vincent.

When Erin Vincent was fourteen years old, both of her parents were killed in a traffic accident. Almost forty years later, the number 14 began haunting Erin, appearing everywhere—in the books she was reading, in films, TV shows, and on the news.
    The repetition felt significant, so Erin began to explore the number beyond her personal understanding. The result is Fourteen Ways of Looking, a memoir of magisterial fractals and a profound reflection on grief, memory, the creative process, and the patterns and symbols all around us.
