Each writer's relationship with the lakes is personal and unique, but that relationship to the water is also one shared by so many of us.

Arab American Blues
A thoughtful and wonderfully written coming-of-age story set during one of the most tumultuous and divisive periods in US history. A lyrical coming-of-age novel set against the political upheaval and cultural reckoning of 1960s America, this powerful debut explores immigrant identity, race, love, and awakening during one of the most divisive eras in US history. Michael Haddad, the teenage son of Palestinian immigrants, grows up in his family's working-class New York City grocery store, delivering food through a changing neighborhood in 1967. As he enters the private worlds of his customers, Michael bears witness to the fractures and solidarities of urban America--from violent encounters with racist bullies to moments of unexpected compassion. He mourns alongside a grieving mother whose son was killed in the Vietnam War, and finds community with the first Black family to move onto the block. Michael's emotional and sexual awakening unfolds through a relationship with a radical college activist, who introduces him to love, protest, and political consciousness, challenging him to test America's ideals against its realities. His journey is shaped by seismic national events, including the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, which mirror his own inner turmoil. As racism, social unrest, and generational expectations collide, Michael must confront a sudden personal tragedy and reckon with what it means to be a dutiful son, an Arab American, and an individual seeking freedom. Ultimately, he must face his fears, embrace his heritage, and claim his place in a rapidly changing nation. -
No!: The Art and Activism of Complaining
An assembly of refusals portraying the radical power of "no" by the renowned scholar and author of The Feminist Killjoy Handbook, Sara Ahmed.
To be heard as complaining is not to be heard, writes Sara Ahmed. In her sweeping exploration of complaint as a means of resistance, Ahmed attunes her "feminist ear" to those who seek to challenge powerful institutions. She shows how complaints can unbury past complaints, getting them out of filing cabinets or from behind closed doors, allowing us to see institutions more clearly--how they work, and for whom they work.
Where complaints live, how complaints are made, who receives them, who buries them and where--Ahmed's accessible, attentive writing brings to life the lessons learned from people knocking at closed doors, teaching us how to collectively resist the glacial weight of institutional power. This book inspires all of us to persist, to say "No!" and to build new collectivities that break down brick walls together.

Huckleberry Hill

I flee to my family's mountain ranch to heal a broken heart.
I did not expect a charging bear.
But then a shirtless, tattooed cowboy saves me.
Declan Brewer is my father's new ranch hand.
He's a retired rodeo star who's got swagger in spades.
And he's completely forbidden.
Declan is new to Huckleberry Hill, but the small town welcomes him as one of their own.
Then one night after bourbon and banter, we cross the line.
Now we're sneaking around, in hopes my father doesn't find out.
Declan makes me feel safe, even when I'm on the back of his motorcycle.
He's everything I've ever wanted.
But I'm scared he'll abandon me when he finds out I can't have children.
Just like my ex.
And then the impossible happens:
I'm pregnant with a cowboy's baby.
