  A “touching, furious, sharp, and very funny” novel of an immigrant teenage girl finding her own identity in France (Booklist).   The Paradise projects are only a few metro stops from Paris, but it feels like a different world. Doria’s father, aka the Beard, has headed back to their hometown in Morocco, leaving her and her mom to cope with their mektoub, their destiny, alone. They have a little help—from a social worker sent by the city, a psychiatrist sent by the school, and a thug friend who recites Rimbaud.   It seems like fate has dealt them an impossible hand, but Doria might still make a new life—“with bravado, humor, and a healthy dose of rage” (St. Petersburg Times).   “[A] sassy, spunky tale . . . Doria has what it takes to storm any barricade.” —The Hartford Courant   “[Doria is] as likable as Holden Caulfield or Prep’s Lee Fiora. Readers will cheer. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal, starred review   “A promising addition to the world’s literary voices.” —The Miami Herald   “Moving and irreverent, sad and funny, full of rage and intelligence. Her voice is fresh, and her book a delight.” —Laila Lalami, bestselling author of The Moor’s Account

  The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

  A Marriage Shattered. A Reputation Exposed. A Love That Refuses to Die.At 2:13 a.m., Mae Kelly stands barefoot in her kitchen, her husband’s tablet glowing in her trembling hands as a message thread loads that was never meant for her eyes. Outside, waves crash against the cliffs of Seacliff Harbor. Inside, her marriage fractures in silence. By sunrise, the illusion of a perfect life—devoted husband, thriving architect, admired couple—has shattered beyond repair.Alan Bender never meant to destroy his marriage. The affair with brilliant, magnetic designer Romina Stark begins as validation and turns into a reckless escape that makes him feel alive again. But when Mae walks away with devastating composure instead of rage, Alan realizes too late that he didn’t just risk his vows—he dismantled the foundation of the only love that ever steadied him. As rumors ignite through their wealthy coastal town, humiliating photos surface, and reputations begin to crumble, Alan must choose between running toward a seductive new life in Los Angeles… or standing in public truth and risking everything to become a man worthy of the woman he betrayed.But redemption is not won with apologies. It’s forged in therapy sessions that rip open old wounds, rain-soaked confrontations that leave them breathless inches apart, and a confession at a glittering gala that silences an entire room. And just when they begin rebuilding—slowly, painfully, honestly—an anonymous envelope arrives with a chilling reminder: some debts don’t stay buried.Raw, intimate, and emotionally explosive, The Cheating Heart is a searing second-chance romance about accountability, desire, and the courage it takes to rebuild after devastation.If you believe love is not proven in perfection—but in the fight to earn it back—this is your next unforgettable read.
