Book Description
For eighteen-year-old Kennedy Alberhill survival in a collapsing world hinges on three rules: First, don't get caught in the blue rain. Second, don't let the Neons infect you. And third, don't ever let your guard down. These rules keep Kennedy and a small band of survivors safe inside a compound secluded in the Oregon Forest. But even an electric fence can't guarantee security. As the Neons evolve into cunning packs addicted to the blue rain and driven to multiply, Kennedy confronts dangers on both sides of the makeshift barrier. With each relentless storm the stakes continue to rise, forcing Kennedy to make a desperate decision she'd never thought possible. Trust a Neon. Rule number three just became rule number one.

Book Description
This novel is a story of a young girl, Camila, who defied poverty through self-sacrifice, strong determination, and perseverance in order to succeed in life. Camila is a dreamer, but in her journey and quest for work and education in Manila, she met horrendous obstacles that one could never imagine. Camila secluded herself for seven years, but a great awakening in her occurred. It was her turning point in life, so she struggled to rise and shine again no matter what in order to achieve her dream of changing the course of her shattered life and to become an agent of change in the life of others. This is the question: will she succeed, or will she not? Embedded in some chapters is a combination of the Filipino cultural heritage and historical touch that occurred during the 1950s (most especially during the 1970s) up to the modern time.

Book Description
Told through a series triptychs-each with a poem, a work of essayistic prose and a photographic image-White Clouds Blue Rain captures discrete moments of life with precise yet unpredictable detail. Taking cues from artists, writers and architects, Driscoll gently binds the everyday to the abstract, moving from the dual vantage points of an apartment block in Melbourne and a former family home in North Queensland out to questions of form, shape and aesthetics as well as the act of making and our relationships with people, objects and physical space. There's a spaciousness and glasslike stillness to this work that carefully diffuses meaning, never allowing it to settle.

Book Description
A Good Morning America Book Club Pick and New York Times Bestseller! From debut author Asha Lemmie, “a lovely, heartrending story about love and loss, prejudice and pain, and the sometimes dangerous, always durable ties that link a family together.” —Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Nightingale Kyoto, Japan, 1948. “Do not question. Do not fight. Do not resist.” Such is eight-year-old Noriko “Nori” Kamiza’s first lesson. She will not question why her mother abandoned her with only these final words. She will not fight her confinement to the attic of her grandparents’ imperial estate. And she will not resist the scalding chemical baths she receives daily to lighten her skin. The child of a married Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Her grandparents take her in, only to conceal her, fearful of a stain on the royal pedigree that they are desperate to uphold in a changing Japan. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intellect and curiosity. But when chance brings her older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him an unlikely ally with whom she forms a powerful bond—a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. Because now that Nori has glimpsed a world in which perhaps there is a place for her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it—a battle that just might cost her everything. Spanning decades and continents, Fifty Words for Rain is a dazzling epic about the ties that bind, the ties that give you strength, and what it means to be free.

Book Description
In this spellbinding debut, Los Angeles–born poet Janel Pineda sings of communal love and the diaspora and dreams for a liberated future. Lineage of Rain traces histories of Salvadoran migration and the US-sponsored civil war to reimagine trauma as a site for transformation and healing. With a scholar’s caliber, Pineda archives family memory, crafting a collection that centers intergenerational narratives through poems filled with a yearning to crystallize a new world—one unmarked by patriarchal violence. At their heart, many of these poems are an homage to women: love letters to mothers, sisters, and daughters. Lineage of Rain moves from los campos de El Salvador to the firework-laden streets of South Gate to the riverbanks of England. Pineda’s masterful stroke weaves together these seemingly disparate worlds, illustrating the complicated reality of living as a first-generation student. As the speaker navigates elitism and the violence of the English language, she lays bare their ties to power. And yet, these poems rebel through revel, asking: how do we hold each other tenderly in a world replete with pain and many forms of violence? With dreams made possible through collective struggle, Pineda returns us to the seeds from which we bloom: family, history, and community. All the while, this collection never fails to capture often overlooked moments of joy—the mundane yet monumental—showing the reader that the world we dream is already ours. Through Lineage of Rain, Pineda emerges as a seminal contributor to the canon of Central American diasporic writing.
