When Lily was eleven years old, her mother, Swee Hua, walked away from the family, never to be seen or heard from again. Now a new mother herself, Lily becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to Swee Hua. She recalls the spring of 1987, growing up in a small British Columbia mining town where there were only a handful of Asian families; Lily’s previously stateless father wanted to blend seamlessly into Canadian life, while her mother longed to return to Brunei. Eventually, an old family friend provides a clue that sends Lily to Southeast Asia to find out the truth.

In 1923, journalist and budding fiction writer Ernest Hemingway penned 18 original short stories and published them in the magazine The Little Review with the help of his friend Ezra Pound. Hemingway would later add to this collection and re-publish the stories in 1925 under the same title and—after adding an additional story—would again republish the entire volume in 1930, again as in our time (all in lower case). This collection of short stories would mark one of the most auspicious and earth-shattering debuts by an author in literary history.

This is about a boy who was crippled at the early age of seven and started out with a troubled life. A concerned judge had him protected by the court, then he was sent to a boarding school, and later to a distant college. He met a medical student and fell in love, but was called back to Murfreesboro by Judge Chamberlin to inherit the remarkable Vinson Plantation. He became a compassionate person who believed he was given a premonition by the Lord to prepare for a great impending battle. With the friendship of his servant Eli, they prepared the plantation for the inevitable war.

So many stories begin the same way: With a prophecy. A chosen one. And the inevitable quest to slay a villain, save the kingdom, and fulfill a grand destiny. But this is not that kind of story. It does begin with a prophecy: A child will rise to defeat the Eternal Khan, a cruel immortal god-king, and save the kingdom. And that prophecy did anoint a hero, Jian, raised since birth in luxury and splendor, and celebrated before he has won a single battle.

Story
Delhi, 1946. Fourteen-year-old Alma is soon to be married despite her parents’ fear that she is far too young. But times are perilous in India, where the country’s long-awaited independence from the British empire heralds a new era of hope—and danger. In its wake, political unrest ripples across the subcontinent, marked by violent confrontations between Hindus and Muslims. The conflict threatens to unravel the rich tapestry of Delhi—a city where different cultures, religions, and traditions have co-existed for centuries.

Story
Burn My Tongue to Cinders is a collection of poems by a girl who has fought depression all of her life. She has lost many battles, but the war has not yet been decided. One of the ways she fights is with her poetry, with her written word. G.C. Saiz writes not to escape, but to open wounds in the hope that appreciating her demons, understanding why she feels the emotions she feels, will bring about brighter futures, if not for its entirety, at least for a couple days at a time.

From the outside, Elena Vega’s life appears to be an easy one: the only child of two professional parents, private school, NYU. But her 20s are aimless and lacking in connection.
