HOW TO TELL A BOOK BY ITS LOVER, by Jessica Jiji, is a fast-paced, funny and endearing rom-com treat. Long Island-born Laurel Linden, who fancies herself a writer, craves a publishing contract for her 600-page historical novel about Napoleon Bonaparte's hairdresser. Despite mounting evidence that her book is a mess, Laurel holds out hope it will be a bestseller, biding her time until she's fabulously famous by earning cash as a New York City dog walker. Meanwhile, she has to steel herself against everyone urging her to quit writing fiction and get a real job, especially sister Jenna, the drama-queen-turned-perfect-housewife who always thinks she knows best. Laurel wants to date a sexy and sophisticated New Yorker but her only offer is from Irwin, a suburban pediatric dentist. With no hope of success in her career or her love life, she decides to accept a job at a girdle-industry trade magazine and give Irwin a shot at her heart. That's when she lands her newest dog-walking client - Anderson Gallant, the son of one of the most powerful men in publishing - and meets a handsome Belgian art critic named Lucien. Her best friend Vanessa encourages Laurel to find the guts to manipulate Anderson into giving her a huge book deal, nab Lucien as her boyfriend and stand up to Jenna. But, slowly and dreadfully, Laurel comes to realize that her epic "Napoleon's Hairdresser" is hilariously bad, Lucien is a pretentious jerk, and, worst of all, Vanessa is a frenemy. In a bold move, Laurel gives up her book contract, her boyfriend and the toxic BFF. And that's when she discovers that life's scariest risk leads to its sweetest happily ever after."A delightfully funny and witty urban tale of a compelling young woman's search for romance and career success that finds a fabulous finale when high dreams and ambitions are adjusted to sweeter, closer-to-home choices." -- Susana Aikin, author of THE WEIGHT OF THE HEART."I loved it. Funny and soulful with lots of jokes. A cross between Seinfeld and Bridget Jones." - Nick Griffin, late night comic.

“Poignant but not treacly, Crouching Tiger deals with an immigrant child’s conflicting emotions toward a grandparent from the old country . . . . Nascimbene’s delicate ink and watercolor illustrations are exquisite.” — The New York Times Book Review Vinson is very excited when his grandfather comes from China for a visit. When Grandpa practices tai chi in the garden, Vinson asks to learn, hoping it will be like kung fu, full of kicks and punches. But tai chi is slow and still, and Vinson quickly gets bored. He can’t understand why Grandpa insists on calling him by his Chinese name, Ming Da, or why he has to wear a traditional Chinese jacket to the Chinese New Year parade. But as the parade assembles, Vinson sees the respect his grandfather commands and starts to realize just how cool his grandfather might be.

In the summers of the early 1970s, Morris Ardoin and his siblings helped run their family's roadside motel in a hot, buggy, bayou town in Cajun Louisiana. The stifling, sticky heat inspired them to find creative ways to stay cool and out of trouble. When they were not doing their chores—handling a colorful cast of customers, scrubbing motel-room toilets, plucking chicken bones and used condoms from under the beds—they played canasta, an old ladies’ game that provided them with a refuge from the sun and helped them avoid their violent, troubled father. Morris was successful at occupying his time with his siblings and the children of families staying in the motel’s kitchenette apartments but was not so successful at keeping clear of his father, a man unable to shake the horrors he had experienced as a child and, later, as a soldier. The preteen would learn as he matured that his father had reserved his most ferocious attacks for him because of an inability to accept a gay or, to his mind, broken, son. It became his dad’s mission to “fix” his son, and Morris’s mission to resist—and survive intact. He was aided in his struggle immeasurably by the love and encouragement of a selfless and generous grandmother, who provides his story with much of its warmth, wisdom, and humor. There’s also suspense, awkward romance, naughty French lessons, and an insider’s take on a truly remarkable, not-yet-homogenized pocket of American culture.
