Meet Patricia Ryan. An intelligent, beautiful, and elegant twenty-seven-year-old woman. She is a legal secretary for a highly successful Boston law firm, where life and the lawyers are crushing her hopes and dreams. Patricia is single, with no boyfriend and little chance of meeting one as the five lawyers she reports to work her an average of sixty hours per week. Coupled with that is the fact that she is the sole support of her mother and grandmother, who live with her in a small apartment in a triple-decker in Boston. She needs an escape to hope…now. As a ten-year-old girl, Patricia helped her mom to get over her dad walking out on them by watching an Audrey Hepburn film. Ironically, since blossoming into a woman, Patricia was often told she bore an uncanny resemblance to Audrey Hepburn—a comparison that her insecurities and good manners had her instantly denying to all who mentioned it. At the end of a particularly grueling work week, she meets Tom Harris, the new, very handsome, single, and very successful partner who has been assigned to her. Later that same day, she takes her best friend Maureen to an Audrey Hepburn film festival being held under the stars on Boston Common. By the end of the evening, Patricia has an epiphany, which allows her to see her only escape to hope. She instantly makes a “crazy” decision that will blast her out of her dream-crushing rut and lead her—and her best friend Maureen—on the romantic misadventure of a lifetime.

NYPD detective Lex Cole tracks a missing Brooklyn teen whose bright future is endangered by the ghosts of his unknown father's past, in this highly anticipated sequel to A Map of the Dark. One of the few black kids on his Brighton Beach block, Titus "Crisp" Crespo was raised by his white mother and his Russian grandparents. He has two legacies from his absent father, Mo: his weird name and his brown skin. Crisp has always been the odd kid out, but a fundamentally good kid, with a bright future. But one impulsive decision triggers a horrible domino effect--an arrest, no reason not to accompany his richer, whiter friend Glynnie on a visit to her weed dealer, and a trip onto his father's old home turf where he'll face certain choices he's always strived to avoid. As Detective Lex Cole tries to unravel the clues from Crisp's night out, they both find that what you don't know about your past can still come back to haunt you.

Setting out to prove his innocence, Darby discovers that Central Park Place—the luxury residence where Miles lives—is a hotbed of wealthy tenants with well-guarded secrets. One of them is Natalia Kazakova, a billionaire's daughter and the victim's not-so-distraught fiancée, whose investigative journalism has caught the attention of Russia's shadowy security agency. With the looming threat of Soviet-era spies and a long list of rich and devious suspects, Darby must work fast to stop a killer who knows no bounds.

In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #Not Your Princess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible.
