Love from Mecca to Medina
Par S. Ali. 2022
On the trip of a lifetime, Adam and Zayneb must find their way back to each other in this surprising…
and romantic sequel to the &“bighearted, wildly charming&” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author) Love from A to Z that&’s a &“contemplative exploration of faith, love, and the human condition&” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).Adam and Zayneb. Perfectly matched. Painfully apart. Adam is in Doha, Qatar, making a map of the Hijra, a historic migration from Mecca to Medina, and worried about where his next paycheck will come from. Zayneb is in Chicago, where school and extracurricular stresses are piling on top of a terrible frenemy situation, making her miserable. Then a marvel occurs: Adam and Zayneb get the chance to spend Thanksgiving week on the Umrah, a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, in Saudi Arabia. Adam is thrilled; it&’s the reboot he needs and an opportunity to pray for a hijra in real life: to migrate to Zayneb in Chicago. Zayneb balks at the trip at first, having envisioned another kind of vacation, but then decides a spiritual reset is calling her name too. And they can&’t wait to see each other—surely, this is just what they both need. But the trip is nothing like what they expect, from the appearance of Adam&’s former love interest in their traveling group to the anxiety gripping Zayneb when she&’s supposed to be &“spiritual.&” As one wedge after another drives them apart while they make their way through rites in the holy city, Adam and Zayneb start to wonder: was their meeting just an oddity after all? Or can their love transcend everything else like the greatest marvels of the world?The Lost Legends of New Jersey

rare precision” (The New York Times Book Review).A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA Los Angeles Times Best Book of the YearRomeo and Juliet in northern New Jersey? Yiddish constellations in Asbury Park? A garbage dump in the Meadowlands that’s filled with old musical instruments from a high school marching band? Love and sex, hockey and snorkeling, a family that is falling apart despite the best intentions—this is what Frederick Reiken has delivered in his brilliant second novel.But the real subject is true love, the one and only—known in Yiddish as b’shert. Anthony Rubin, the young protagonist, isn’t sure whether he’s found it with his neighbor, Juliette, daughter of a reputed Mafioso. His mother, who quits the family after her husband’s affair with a neighbor, doesn’t believe in true love at all. But his father does, and so does Anthony’s grandpa, who meets the love of his life at 78.Reiken is known for creating characters you feel you’ve known all your life, for mapping landscapes with profound intimacy and wonder. In The Lost Legends of New Jersey, he “reminds us that when good literature comes along, it feels, like true love itself, as if something legendary is occurring” (The Washington Post).“A beautifully told story of bad choices, good intentions, and the price of intimacy.” —Chicago Tribune“Reiken has created a rich, seductive mythology out of the ordinary places and people of the Garden State.” —Los Angeles TimesLove, Clancy: Diary of a Good Dog
Par W. Cameron. 2022
From W. Bruce Cameron, the internationally bestselling author of A Dog’s Purpose and A Dog’s Way Home, comes Love, Clancy:…
Diary of a Good Dog, a deeply moving story with a brand-new cast of characters, including one very good dog. You’ve probably never met someone like Clancy. He’s keeping a diary, he’s falling in love, there are rivals for his affections, he lives with his best friend and his worst enemy – even taken together, these factors are maybe not that unusual, except that Clancy is a dog. His point of view is therefore perhaps…different. Told in Cameron’s signature style, a tremendous cast of wonderful characters find themselves jointly and separately navigating the challenges of life, of love, and…other pets, including Clancy's “worst enemy” - one very disdainful cat. It’s a lot to keep track of, especially when things start to spin hilariously out of control, but fortunately, we’ve got the observations of Clancy, a very good dog, who shares a valuable perspective on what is really important.FROM FORGE:THE DOG'S PURPOSE SERIES:A Dog's Purpose / A Dog's Journey / A Dog's PromiseTHE DOG'S WAY HOME SERIES:A Dog's Way Home / A Dog's CourageOTHER TITLES FROM FORGE:Love, Clancy: Diary of a Good DogA Dog's Perfect ChristmasThe Dogs of ChristmasThe Dog MasterEmory's GiftTHE RUDDY MCCAN SERIES:The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man / Repo Madness / The Midnight Dog of the Repo ManFROM STARSCAPE:THE PUPPY TALE SERIES:Ellie's Story / Bailey's Story / Molly's Story / Max's Story / Lily's Story / Shelby's Story / Toby's Story / Bella's Story / Cooper's Story / Lacey's StoryTHE LILY TO THE RESCUE SERIES:Lily to the Rescue / Lily to the Rescue: Two Little Piggies / Lily to the Rescue: The Not-So-Stinky Skunk / Lily to the Rescue: Dog Dog Goose / Lily to the Rescue: Lost Little Leopard / Lily to the Rescue: The Misfit Donkey / Lily to the Rescue: Foxes in a Fix / Lily to the Rescue: The Three BearsAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.Loyalty: The brand new novel from the bestselling author
