Within These County Lines
Eighteen-year-old Stetson Delancey never thought breaking up with his boyfriend would turn him invisible.
In Penango County, Pennsylvania, high school couples carve their names into the legendary Ardor Tree, a rite of passage said to grant love that lasts. Stetson and his boyfriend were no exception. But a bitter breakup just before college splinters their future, and in a moment of anger, Stetson does the unthinkable: he hacks their names from the tree.
That's when everything in his rural hometown goes from boring to bizarre. Shadows flicker where they shouldn't. Strangers pass by like he's not even there. And some people stop seeing him altogether.
With just two months left in Penango and his college dream slipping away, Stetson races to uncover the tree's secrets before he vanishes for good. But when he meets a boy only he can see-a boy who may have secrets of his own-Stetson begins to wonder if breaking free from his hometown means letting go of everything or learning to hold on to what matters.
Within These County Lines is a queer coming-of-age novel about the unraveling of first love, hometown magic, and how sometimes we can't uncover the truth about others without confronting the truth about ourselves.

Diaspora-ish: Notes on Identities, Unbelonging, & Solidarities (Expanded)
A collective learning resource that offers inquiries about diasporic identity and belonging aimed at practicing global solidarity
What does it mean to be in diaspora? How do our identities and aspirations for belonging unfold during times of collective upheaval?
In her lifelong search for solidarity, educator Gayatri Sethi draws upon her own complex diasporic journey to explore widely accepted ideas about identity and belonging. Spanning three continents and multiple phases of the author's life, Diaspora-ish offers inquiries into many facets of identity-names, relationships, ethnicities, citizenships-and poignantly demonstrates how these are weaponized to exclude and other. Addressing prevalent misconceptions about immigration, Sethi pushes for a deeper understanding of migration and diaspora that centers decoloniality and anti-imperialism. Diaspora-ish is an urgent call to unlearn oppressions in order to work bravely toward collective liberation.
In an extension of her genre-bending nonfiction debut Unbelonging, Sethi juxtaposes personal observations with academic notes and inquiries to guide readers through paradigm shifts in learning. Diaspora-ish presents an anti-imperial, anti-racist, collective learning resource that centers historically marginalized and excluded global realities.

-- Ashley Woodfolk, critically acclaimed author of NOTHING BURNS AS BRIGHT AS YOU Exploring the harsh reality of OCD and violent intrusive thoughts in stunning, lyrical writing, this novel-in-verse conjures a haunting yet hopeful portrait of a girl on the edge.

And as violent fantasies she can't control take over every aspect of her life, she is convinced something much deeper is wrong with her. Ever since her older sister escaped to college, Ariel isn't sure if her careful rituals and practiced distance will be enough to keep those around her safe anymore. Then a summer job at a carnival brings new friends into Ariel's fractured world, and she finds herself questioning her desire to keep everyone out--of her head and her heart. But if they knew what she was really thinking, they would run in the other direction--right? Instead, with help and support, Ariel discovers a future where she can be at home in her mind and body, and for the first time learns there's a name for what she struggles with--Obsessive Compulsive Disorder--and that she's not broken, and not alone. -
