  The Nile brought them life, but the Nile was not their friend. 
   
  A small farming village in North Sudan wakes up one morning to the news that a little boy has drowned. Soon after, the animals die of a mysterious illness and the date gardens catch fire and burn to the ground. The villagers whisper of a sorceress who dwells at the foot of the mountains. It is the dry season. The men have places to go, the women have work to do, the children play at the place where the river runs over its own banks. Sixteen-year-old Fatima yearns to leave the village for Khartoum. 
  In Khartoum, a single mother makes her way in a world that wants to keep girls and women back. As civil war swells, the political intrudes into the personal and her position in the capital becomes untenable. She must return to the village. 
   
  A Mouth Full of Salt uncovers a country on the brink of seismic change as its women decide for themselves which traditions are fit for purpose – and which prophecies it's time to rewrite.

  A profound, bittersweet portrait of a Gazan immigrant's heroic efforts to heal his community and birth love from tragedy. 
   
  As a financial crisis looms, Jamal "Jack" Shaban is trying to save his neighbors from bankruptcy. But who is Jack, really? For his flight attendant colleagues, he's an object of desire, even love, particularly for his sweetly bawdy Wisconsinite best friend, Birdy. Birdy knows nothing about Dimra, Jack's traditional Muslim wife, with whom Jack is desperate to have a child. Nor does Dimra know about Jack's attraction to Marcia: an angry single mom new to the building. The resulting tangle of love, desire, and conflict returns Jack to the violence of 1980s Gaza, where a taboo affair nearly destroyed his life. 
   
  A man of many sides―adulterer, devoted husband, fixer, community leader, liar, and the survivor of human and cosmic cruelty in both the past and the novel's present―Jack is a paragon of both desire and hope, someone who has committed to love because the alternative is utter darkness. 
   
  A gorgeous blend of gentle comedy and poignant tragedy, of blasted hopes and one man's indomitable dedication to the well-being of others, this is a book to love and never forget.

  Nomar 
  Do the job. Free the high-value target from a compound in Afghanistan and get out. Simple, right? Until I saw her. She begged me for help. I didn’t think. Grabbed her and her kid and ran. FUBAR didn’t even come close to covering what happened next. 
  And then…I disappeared. It doesn’t matter that I had no choice. That the President of the United States ordered me to “do the job.” I still abandoned them. When she’s in trouble, I can’t stay away. But how can I convince her my darkness will destroy her? 
  Lisette 
  I lived a nightmare for ten years. Cut off from my family, constantly afraid, and unable to escape. My only joy came from my son. His father wanted to turn him into a killer. But then a man stole into our compound in the middle of the night to free another and became our salvation. 
  He disappeared before we had a chance at something…more. But when a new threat comes for my son, he returns, and suddenly, I realize the truth. I’ve loved him for three years. But will we survive long enough to find our happy ever after? Or will the country that nearly killed me finally finish the job? 
  ~~ 
  Rogue Operator is the fifth book in the Gone Rogue Series. It can be read as a complete standalone, though characters from earlier books in the series often show up in later books.
