How to survive Califorina's hottest surf spot: Never go anywhere without a bathing suit. Never cut your hair. Never let them see you panic. The year is 1972. Fifteen-year-old Haunani “Nani” Grace Nuuhiwa is transplanted from her home in Hawaii to Santa Monica, California after her father’s fatal heart attack. Now the proverbial fish-out-of-water, Nani struggles to adjust to her new life with her alcoholic white (haole) mother and the lineup of mean girls who rule State Beach. Following “The Rules”—an unspoken list of dos and don’ts—Nani makes contact with Rox, the leader of the lineup. Through a harrowing series of initiations, Nani not only gets accepted into the lineup, she gains the attention of surf god, Nigel McBride. But maintaining stardom is harder than achieving it. Nani is keeping several secrets that, if revealed, could ruin everything she’s worked so hard to achieve. Secret #1: She’s stolen her dad’s ashes and hidden them from her mom. Secret #2: In order to get in with Rox and her crew, she spied on them and now knows far more than they could ever let her get away with. And most deadly of all, Secret #3: She likes girls, and may very well be in love with Rox.

This Washington Post "Best Book of the Year" grapples with the complexities of the second–generation American experience, what it means to be a woman of color in the workplace, and a sister, a wife, and a mother to daughters in today's America. When a woman—known only as Mother—moves her family from Atlanta to its wealthy suburbs, she discovers that neither the times nor the people have changed since her childhood in a small Southern town. Despite the intervening decades, Mother is met with the same questions: Where are you from? No, where are you really from? The American–born daughter of Bengali immigrants, she finds that her answer―Here―is never enough. Mother's simmering anger breaks through one morning, when, during a violent and unfounded police raid on her home, she finally refuses to be complacent. As she lies bleeding from a gunshot wound, her thoughts race from childhood games with her sister and visits to cousins in India, to her time in the newsroom before having her three daughters, to the early days of her relationship with a husband who now spends more time flying business class than at home. Drawing inspiration from the author's own terrifying experience of a raid on her home, Devi S. Laskar's debut novel explores, in exquisite, lyrical prose, an alternate reality that might have been. "The entire novel takes place over the course of a single morning. . . and the effect is devastatingly potent." —Marie Claire "Devi S. Laskar's The Atlas of Reds and Blues is as narratively beautiful as it is brutal . . . I've never read a novel that does nearly as much in so few pages." —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy

Grab your red hat and SPF50, your going to Hawaii. As the Beach Boys sing "Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning how..." come on this romantic adventure with me. Like a good mai tai, this story is one part romance, one part Maui travel guide, with surfing lessons thrown in for good measure. In LARGE PRINT for easy reading. This is the poignant story of three generations of surfers who live in a little yellow house above Cove Park in Kihei, Maui. When the patriarch dies as a result of an ocean rescue at Jaws, it sets the stage for a chance encounter with an old friend. A lucky coincidence brings the two old friends together and a chance to correct an error from the past. How many people get a chance for a do–over in their lives? Can Frannie and Davey find happiness and a new life together here on this island, one of a kind? Will the residences of the little yellow houses be able to save their restaurant–bar and the family home? Or will they, too, fall victim to the consequences of the tourists actions that day at Jaws? Will Irene be able to find love again with the help of her family, neighbors, and her friends from the Red Hat Society? "Rose Tigarden's LIFE'S A BEACH ON MAUI is a richly detailed introduction to Hawaii for those who have never been there, a beautiful trip back for those who have, but above all a romance and family story told with the simple immediacy of folk art in words and full of the sweetness but also the sadness and even the danger of life lived far from 'da mainland'" – Michael Eric Stein, journalist for MAUI NO KA OI Magazine, essayist and novelist.
