"What begins as a road trip is, for Mara, a gamble of the heart.
She convinces David Bennet—quiet, reserved, and seemingly unreachable—to let her join him on a cross-country drive. What David doesn't know is that Mara has her own reason for tagging along: a growing crush she hopes might become something more.
Haunted by past heartbreak, David has built walls high enough to keep anyone out. Yet in the small, ordinary moments—roadside breakfasts, laughter on coastal cliffs, quiet nights under starlit skies—Mara begins to slip past his defenses. For the first time in years, he finds himself daring to hope again.
But trust is fragile, and both carry wounds that threaten to resurface.
From the bustling piers of Seattle to the wide-open quiet of the Rockies, they must discover whether love can be built on a foundation of silence—and whether two people, scarred but searching, can truly find home in each other.
Blending heartfelt romance, the adventure of a road trip, and the emotional depth of self-discovery, The Silence Between Us is a moving story about risk, resilience, and the unexpected places love can take us."
"Cassie doesn't feel at home in her hometown in California. So when her family moves to South Korea, where her parents were born and raised, she thinks life might be easier. But Cassie soon learns she is wrong. Despite being ethnically Korean, there is so much about her that is American— parts of her she can't erase. Yet there are just as many parts of her that are Korean, too. From English to Korean, chocolate to ho-dduk, can Cassie find a language where she can wholly be loved?"
"Ninth House meets Babel for fans of myth and folklore in this contemporary fantasy about a Korean-American college student at a magical university where fairy tales intersect with family heritage to unleash powers beyond imagining.
“You always wanted magic to be real.”
Sharon and her daughter V’s points of origin hold common threads—both Korean American teenagers, raised by single mothers and searching for identity in the California suburbs. But during a finals week celebration, high schooler V, compelled by strange impulses, crawls into a hollow tree trunk. That night in a fever haze, she sees gleaming strands of illegible text hovering over her body—flowing between her and her mother, leading to a long-forgotten diary.
With the aid of a luminous quill, a fountainhead of Sharon’s memories spill onto the faded pages. V witnesses her mother map out her past through drawings, diagrams, and reclaimed histories of her brief time at Alvsdahl, an exclusive East Coast college. Here, legacies and heiresses claimed descent from Bluebeard or Cinderella, grappling for control over family stories that could grant them terrifying abilities or burn them to ash. An Asian girl with an unknown inheritance was no one—until her discoveries cracked open Alvsdahl’s secrets.
Sharon’s rewritten narrative—of classroom rivalries, animal professors, debauchery in the woods, threatening Godmothers, and world-shattering powers—unfolds line by line as V desperately tries to help her mother, ultimately learning how to wield Sharon’s story to transform them both.
Lyrical and tender, Angela Mi Young Hur’s The Loom Tree is a magical campus novel centering two young women walking the thorny path toward adulthood, the fractures between parents and their children, and the global mythologies connecting us all."
"Nora Lange's debut novel, Us Fools, was praised as the 'Great American Novel' by Molly Young in the New York Times, and 'a razor-sharp critique of American capitalism' by Michael Schaub at NPR. Now, she turns her eye toward the daily exercise of getting by.
In 'Heart Beats,' Carol and David arrive late to a Boston dinner party for a night of 'messy socializing' with other couples, including a former cult-leader turned financial-advisor and a woman who learned of a 'kinky sort of game' while riding public transit. In 'Island of Phaetons,' an expatriate living in Istanbul is called away from her daily life with 'the husband' and 'the friend who wanted more than friendship' to visit her mother, who notoriously makes bad decisions, and who has just arrived in Greece 'with news' for her daughter, a tantalizing invitation that has her daughter immediately on a plane. In 'Dog Star,' two figurines live out their dreams before succumbing to the truth that they have been assembled inside of a snow globe and will never go anywhere. In the title story, a new mother in Los Angeles navigates a job, a long-distance relationship with her husband, and her visiting mother, while hoping to find relief in daytime app sex.
Day Care is a biting reflection on economic precarity, love, and peeing your pants."
"A young woman returns to the prairies, where she revisits her immigrant childhood and confronts a haunting guilt, in this debut work by a brilliant new talent.
Anne Kim is a lawyer in New York, her success built on forgetting the past. When her father dies, she returns to Edmonton for the funeral and is shocked to discover he was from North Korea and left his brother behind.
As she reads the undelivered letters her father wrote to his brother about life in Canada, she is transported back to her childhood in the 1980s and 90s. She recalls the struggles her parents faced as immigrants who ran a grocery store in a rural prairie town. Anne and her brother, Charles, felt the weight of their father’s expectations: Anne was driven to excel and overachieve, whereas Charles rebelled, determined to pursue his own dreams. His rebellion created a rift that culminated in a devastating act, irrevocably shattering their family and leaving Anne overwhelmed by an inescapable guilt.
Inheritance explores the immigrant experience, the sacrifices made by both parents and children, and how trauma transfers to the next generation. As Anne journeys to the past, she emerges to finally define life on her own terms, and her story will resonate long after the final page."
