The Odd DUck Society
|
Jessamy Aubertine is too much for her university classmates, too little for her overstressed mum, and nothing in between. Then a mysterious letter signed by Jane Austen brings her back to her family’s fading tea shop and a pair of unlikely comrades. Will they find the letter writer—and perhaps discover themselves along the way? Or will their friendship fade with The Muses?

Rachel Leitch is a certified weird girl who writes young adult fantasy. Right now, she writes novels that capture the immersive comfort of your favorite fandom.
Rachel lives in northern Indiana with her family. During the school year, she tricks students into being bookish as an elementary paraprofessional. During the summer, she volunteers at an off-Broadway theater (no, not as an actress). In her (very limited) free time, she’s trying to fit all her reads on her shelf in a somewhat organized manner, consuming a level of chai that borders on hazardous, or nerding out over her fandom of the week. |

Raye's newest album and what it says about Christian art
may 11, 2026
Did she just say what I think she said?
I parked the car and pulled out my phone, quickly googling the song lyrics I just heard.
Sure enough, I had clearly heard the lines “Lord in heaven above, I need you to send me a life boat” and “He sees you” on a popular mainstream album.
I found RAYE’s music the way many people did—via Instagram. So when she dropped her second album, THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE, a lot of people were paying attention, myself included.
Another quick Google search confirmed that RAYE is openly Christian.
That changed my next listen-through of the album. Because it turns out RAYE and her album had a lot to show me about Christian art.
