Detours
This is a sobering and exciting collection from native Hawaiians, writing about their land; a subtle reminder that the place where you took that amazing family vacation may also be the site of a corporate-backed coup, military testing, and devastating environmental racism.

Hana Khan Carries On
The not so typical Rom-Com: family Indian restaurant, food you can almost taste, Toronto, Muslim faith, standing up for your beliefs, handsome competition, racial confrontation, neighborhood unity, joy, love, friendship, hope. This book has it all and is a wonderful read.
