Book Description
"From the author of the acclaimed and award-winning debut The Map of Salt and Stars, a remarkably moving and lyrical novel following three generations of Syrian Americans who are linked by the truths they carry close to their hearts. Five years after a suspicious fire killed his mother, a closeted Syrian American trans boy sheds his birth name and searches for a new one. He has been unable to paint since his mother's ghost has begun to visit him each evening. The only time he feels truly free is when he slips out at night to paint murals on buildings in the once-thriving Manhattan neighborhood known as Little Syria. One night, he finds the tattered journal of a Syrian American artist named Laila Z. She famously and mysteriously disappeared more than sixty years before, but her journal contains proof that Laila Z's past is intimately tied to his mother's-and his grandmother's--in ways he never could have expected. Even more surprising, Laila Z's story reveals the histories of queer and transgender people within his community that he never knew. Following his mother's ghost, he uncovers the silences kept in the name of survival by his own community, his own family, and within himself, and discovers the family that was there all along. The Thirty Names of Night is an imaginative and intimate exploration of how we all search for and ultimately embrace who we are"--.

Book Description
The Sweet Experiment embarks on a transformative journey through life’s harshest trials to its most profound truths. Payton McCrory is just your average junior at a Southern California college who happens to be secretly in love with her best guy friend . . . until she overhears her crush telling someone that she is “not his type” because he likes “sweet” girls. This incident spurs Payton onto an exploration of what it means to be sweet, with the help of her boy-crazy best friend and some unexpected influences along the way. During Payton’s journey, she is confronted with the realities of betrayal, substance abuse, chronic illness, and sexual trauma—each of these elements that lead to her encounter with a surprisingly personal Divine Presence. This is not your everyday cheesy faith-based romance story. The plot twists of this tale mirror the uncertainties of real life, and readers will identify with Payton’s questions: Is there a God? Why do terrible things happen? Am I loved? While readers may not be given answers as to the fate of each character, they will be given hope, along with the all-important and life-changing answers to these difficult questions.

Book Description
Laila Piedra doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, and definitely doesn’t sneak into the 21-and-over clubs on the Lower East Side. The only sort of risk Laila enjoys is the peril she writes for the characters in her stories: epic sci-fi worlds full of quests, forbidden love, and robots. Her creative writing teacher has always told her she has a special talent. But three months before graduation, Laila’s number one fan is replaced by Nadiya Nazarenko, a Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist who sees nothing at all special about Laila’s writing. A growing obsession with gaining Nazarenko’s approval—and fixing her first-ever failing grade—leads to a series of unexpected adventures. Soon Laila is discovering the psychedelic highs and perilous lows of nightlife, and the beauty of temporary flings and ambiguity. But with her sanity and happiness on the line, Laila must figure out if enduring the unendurable really is the only way to greatness.
