A powerful novel about ethnically fluid California, and the corrosive relationship between two Filipino brothers. Told with a hard-edged purity that brings to mind Cormac McCarthy and Denis Johnson, American Son is the story of two Filipino brothers adrift in contemporary California. The older brother, Tomas, fashions himself into a Mexican gangster and breeds pricey attack dogs, which he trains in German and sells to Hollywood celebrities. The narrator is younger brother Gabe, who tries to avoid the tar pit of Tomas's waywardness, yet moves ever closer to embracing it. Their mother, who moved to America to escape the caste system of Manila and is now divorced from their American father, struggles to keep her sons in line while working two dead-end jobs. When Gabe runs away, he brings shame and unforeseen consequences to the family. Full of the ache of being caught in a violent and alienating world, American Son is a debut novel that captures the underbelly of the modern immigrant experience. A Los Angeles Times Best Book, New York Times Notable Book, and a Kiriyama Pacific Rim Prize Finalist

Born out of the popular blog Kale & Caramel, this sumptuously photographed and beautifully written cookbook presents eighty recipes for delicious vegan and vegetarian dishes featuring herbs and flowers, as well as luxurious do-it-yourself beauty products. Plant-whisperer, writer, and photographer Lily Diamond believes that herbs and flowers have the power to nourish inside and out. “Lily’s deep connection to nature is beautifully woven throughout this personal collection of recipes,” says award-winning vegetarian chef Amy Chaplin. Each chapter celebrates an aromatic herb or flower, including basil, cilantro, fennel, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender, jasmine, rose, and orange blossom. Mollie Katzen, author of the beloved Moosewood Cookbook, calls the book “a gift, articulated through a poetic voice, original and bold.” The recipes tell a coming-of-age story through Lily’s kinship with plants, from a sun-drenched Maui childhood to healing from heartbreak and her mother’s death. With bright flavors, gorgeous scents, evocative stories, and more than one hundred photographs, Kale & Caramel creates a lush garden of experience open to harvest year round.

Awakening Hair - Caring for Your Cosmic Antenna is about experiencing new Hair Dynamics creating magic in your life. Some people think of hair simply as dead cells hanging off their head. Awakening Hair invites you to experience hair as an extension of our living selves, profoundly affected by our biological functions, hair care practices, environmental impacts, and even our thoughts. Hair can also be experienced as cosmic antenna, able to receive and transmit information and energy. It can function as a sixth sense. Awakening Hair reveals nature's guidance that will help you realize your most enlivened hair ever. Beginning with The Power of Hair Gardening, the wisdom in each chapter will help you grow, achieve and maintain the healthiest hair possible using life enhancing practices. Understanding what kind of hair you have, the benefits of nature's elements, and the cycles of the seasons, sun and moon, will create a new improved, relationship with your hair. We have all experienced 'bad hair days'. Studies at Yale University have shown that bad hair days diminish self-confidence, and increase feelings of shame, self-doubt, social insecurity and self-criticism. You can discover how to end 'bad hair days', create 'great hair days' leading to a happier life. In Awakening Hair you can determine the style of hair care that suits you best, and design your Personal Hair Care Improvement plan. Along with Five Easy Steps to Sustainable Hair Care, this will streamline your experience with your hair. To make finding the right products for your hair even easier, you will find a guide alerting you to the ingredients you most want to avoid. Awakening Hair may be your introduction to Hair Balancing, the holistic healing art that cuts hair with a precise pattern of sacred geometry. It is based on the principles and points of acupuncture and cranio-sacral therapy and is most noted for releasing hair trauma, reducing hair loss, enhancing hair growth, and making hair happy!

A friend breakup is healed at a twentieth high school reunion in this women’s fiction novel that is “as slick and enjoyable as a brand-new tube of lip gloss” (People). Twenty years ago, Allie Denty was the pretty one and her best friend Olivia Pelham was the smart one. Throughout high school, they were inseparable . . . until a vicious rumor about Olivia—a rumor too close to the truth—ended their friendship. Now, on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, Allie, a temp worker, finds herself suddenly single, a little chubby, and feeling old. Olivia, a cool and successful magazine beauty editor in New York, realizes she’s lonely, and is finally ready to face her demons. Sometimes hope lives in the future; sometimes it comes from the past; and sometimes, when every stupid thing goes wrong, it comes from a prettily packaged jar filled with scented cream and promises. New York Times–bestselling author Beth Harbison has done it again. A hilarious and touching novel about friendship, Love’s Baby Soft perfume, Watermelon Lip Smackers, bad run-ins with Sun-In, and the healing power of “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific.” Hope in a Jar: we all need it. “Harbison continues to wow readers with charm and genuine characters.” —Booklist ”Harbison creates vivid, convincing characters and handles them well.” —Publishers Weekly
