Synopsis

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

    He’s an actor pressured to risk everything for his job. She’s an actress struggling to fit into the Hollywood scene. Little do they know how much they will be tested when they are forced to keep their love a secret. 
    Evan Spark grew up in the shadow of four older brothers, but he’s finally found his own place in the limelight on primetime TV. His job, with the best fans and a chance to work with the love of his life, is everything he ever wanted ... except for the flirty costar who’s set her eyes—and lips!—on him. 
    The last thing shy and unassuming Emma Dearan expects is to land a role as an extra on Edenvale and to win the heart of its leading man. With the reassurance of a “no kissing” clause in her contract, she’s finally feeling at home in the spotlight, on screen and off—until the executive producer’s daughter forces her to choose between a promotion or her boyfriend.  
    The longer they keep their relationship under wraps, the harder it is to know what’s real. As the paparazzi zero in on their secrets, they must learn to discern the truth from the lies. Will the hazards of show business spark new insecurities or strengthen their bond of trust?

With the help of her clever fox terrier, Ginseng, and a handsome botanist visiting from the city, Sage uncovers a plot rooted in jealousy, stolen recipes, and a hidden grudge dating back generations. From mislabeled tinctures and sabotaged herb gardens to a secret society of local healers, every clue leads her deeper into danger. Can Sage identify the toxic ingredient in both the tea and the town's history before the killer decides to brew another lethal cup?
