  An intimate, captivating first novel that tells the story of a family in southern France whose lives are intertwined with the history of the AIDS crisis—and with the forgotten French doctors who are among the first to detect the virus.It’s 1981. As a wave of mysterious infections sweeps across the United States, a doctor in Paris encounters something unexpected: a case of a disease long thought to have been eradicated. It matches what is happening across the Atlantic—and thus begins a race to make sense of a deadly virus, one that will define a generation.Miles away, in rural France, Anthony Passeron’s family is dealing with a crisis of their own. Their small village is gripped by another epidemic: heroin addiction. Anthony’s uncle Désiré, once the pride of the family, has become one of the “sleeping children.” Often found unconscious on street corners, he is now a stranger to his family. As Désiré’s life descends into chaos, the thunder of the AIDS crisis grows closer. These two stories—one intimate, one global—are about to collide.Anthony Passeron’s moving novel is also an eye-opening story about shame and the slow poisoning that secrets can inflict on a family. Exploring the stories of the heroic few who fought not only for a cure but for justice for an abandoned community, Sleeping Children is a radical vision of a history reshaped, retold, and remembered.

  Unstoppable You

  Delaney: I’m over men. Officially. I gave Connor St. Clair EVERYTHING (you know what I mean) and he ended up “accidentally” in bed with a girl he picked up at the local bar. Now I’m single and ready to burn the world down, starting with his beloved truck. That’s when James St. Clair (Connor’s sister and my former middle school nemesis that I haven’t seen in years) appears in my Pilates class. Because my life isn’t bad enough already. 
    
  James: Getting away from my divorced parents and my good-for-nothing brother was supposed to bring me happiness, but reality was a harsh mistress. I’m not too thrilled to be back in town, but things start looking up when I run into Delaney Budreau. She’s fresh off her breakup with my cheating brother and she’s even more beautiful than I remember. Too bad I was so awful to her when we were kids—and then there’s the whole Connor thing. I’d love nothing more than to mend things between us. I’ll never forgive myself if I don’t at least try. 
    
  Delaney: Whatever. James isn’t on my radar, no matter how hard she tries to ingratiate herself into my life. I’ve got bigger plans. Better plans. You’ve heard of the Bucket List, get ready for the F*ckit List. All my life I’ve been a good girl, a rule follower. That ends now. I’m going to live my life for me, and that includes doing things like getting a body piercing, dancing on a bar, and kissing a girl for the first time. I’m absolutely definitely straight, but I’m tired of being boring old reliable Delaney. I want to get wild. I want to be free. 
    
  James: I never expected to see Delaney at Sapph of all places, but I know a woman on a mission when I see one. Over more than a few drinks, she tells me about her list, and I decide that the best way to make up for the way I treated her in the past is to help her complete it. Starting with a kiss.
