    by Emma Lovewell

    Emma Lovewell is a star instructor at Peloton, but her journey to success began with a simple realization: Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. She chose to grow. In Live Learn Love Well, she shares the moments in her life that shaped her into the woman she is today―from growing up in a modest home amidst the affluence of Martha’s Vineyard, to struggling with her biracial identity and fitting in, both in the white community and the Asian American community, to health setbacks and relationship challenges, to moving to New York and striving for a career in dance and fitness.

    by Ocean Vuong

    In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. At once vivid, bare, and propulsive, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break.

    Age of Vice

    by Deepti Kapoor

    This is the age of vice, where money, pleasure, and power are everything, and the family ties that bind can also kill. Equal parts crime thriller and family saga, transporting readers from the dusty villages of Uttar Pradesh to the urban energy of New Delhi, Age of Vice is an intoxicating novel of gangsters and lovers, false friendships, forbidden romance, and the consequences of corruption. It is binge-worthy entertainment at its literary best.

    by Prachi Gupta

    How do we understand ourselves when the story about who we are supposed to be is stronger than our sense of self? What do we stand to gain—and lose—by taking control of our narrative? These questions propel Prachi Gupta’s heartfelt memoir and can feel particularly fraught for immigrants and their children who live under immense pressure to belong in America.

    by Fatima Farheen Mirza

    As an Indian wedding gathers a family back together, parents Rafiq and Layla must reckon with the choices their children have made. A Place for Us takes us back to the beginning of this family’s life: from the bonds that bring them together, to the differences that pull them apart. All the joy and struggle of family life is here, from Rafiq and Layla’s own arrival in America from India, to the years in which their children — each in their own way — tread between two cultures, seeking to find their place in the world, as well as a path home.

    by Gabrielle Zevin

    In this exhilarating novel, two friends — often in love, but never lovers — come together as creative partners in the world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. Spanning thirty years, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

    The Swimmers

    by Julie Otsuka

    For a group of swimmers, the local community pool is a refuge from daily life. There they can find solace in the routine, surrounded by familiar faces but able to only concentrate on the laps ahead of them. But when a crack appears at the bottom of the pool, they are all cast out into an unforgiving world without comfort or relief. This is especially hard for Alice, a woman who is slowly losing her memory, and her estranged daughter who reenters her mother’s life just in time to watch her decline.

    Gold Diggers

    by Sanjena Sathian

    A floundering second-generation teenager growing up in the Bush-era Atlanta suburbs, Neil Narayan is funny and smart but struggles to bear the weight of expectations of his family and their Asian American enclave. He tries to want their version of success, but mostly, Neil just wants his neighbor across the cul-de-sac, Anita Dayal. When he discovers that Anita is the beneficiary of an ancient, alchemical potion made from stolen gold — a “lemonade” that harnesses the ambition of the gold’s original owner — Neil sees his chance to get ahead. But events spiral into a tragedy that rips their community apart. Years later in the Bay Area, Neil still bristles against his community’s expectations — and finds he might need one more hit of that lemonade, no matter the cost.

    Portrait of a Thief

    by Grace D. Li

    A senior at Harvard, Will fits comfortably in his carefully curated roles: a perfect student, an art history major, and eldest son who has always been his parents’ American Dream. But when a mysterious Chinese benefactor reaches out with an impossible — and illegal — job offer, Will finds himself something else as well: the leader of a heist to steal back five priceless Chinese sculptures, looted from Beijing centuries ago. Inspired by true events, Portrait of a Thief is equal parts beautiful, thoughtful, and thrilling. It is a cultural heist and an examination of Chinese American identity, as well as a necessary critique on the lingering effects of colonialism.

    Good Talk

    by Mira Jacob

    Like many six-year-olds, Mira Jacob’s half-Jewish, half-Indian son, Z, has questions about everything. At first they are innocuous enough, but as tensions from the 2016 election spread from the media into his own family, they become much, much more complicated. Trying to answer him honestly, Mira has to think back to where she’s gotten her own answers: her most formative conversations about race, color, sexuality, and, of course, love. Written with humor and vulnerability, this deeply relatable graphic memoir is a love letter to the art of conversation — and to the hope that hovers in our most difficult questions.

    by Alma Katsu

    In a country that is already turned upside down by World War II, Meiko and her daughter, Aiko, were taken from their home in Seattle and sent to one of the internment camps in the Midwest. Meiko tries to make this transition as normal for Aiko as possible, but when a mysterious disease begins to spread, Meiko teams up with her fellow detainees to investigate. Though it is difficult to find answers, what they do know is that something sinister is at work in the camp… Inspired by Japanese folklore, The Fervor is a thrilling examination of the supernatural and the natural, and when it becomes difficult to decide which is worse.

    Beautiful Country

    by Qian Julie Wang

    When Qian and her family immigrated to America when she was seven-years-old, it wasn’t the “beautiful country” she had been envisioning. Before her parents worked as professors, but in New York City, they were “illegal” and lived in constant fear that they would be found out. But Qian finds little delights for herself: greasy slices of pizza and endless companions within the pages of the books at the public library. With clarity, charm, and strength, Qian Julie Wang has penned an essential American story about a family fracturing under the weight of invisibility, and a girl coming-of-age in the shadows, who never stops seeking the light.

    In 1986, Henry Lee joins a crowd outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle’s Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has discovered the belongings of Japanese families who were sent to internment camps during World War II. As the owner displays and unfurls a Japanese parasol, Henry, a Chinese American, remembers a young Japanese American girl from his childhood in the 1940s — Keiko Okabe.

    by Albert Samaha

    Nearing the age at which his mother had migrated to the US, Albert Samaha began to question the ironclad belief in a better future that had inspired her family to uproot themselves from their birthplace. Tracing his family’s history through the region’s unique geopolitical roots in Spanish colonialism, American intervention, and Japanese occupation, Samaha fits their arc into the wider story of global migration as determined by chess moves among superpowers. Ambitious, intimate, and incisive, Concepcion explores what it might mean to reckon with the unjust legacy of imperialism, to live with contradiction and hope, to fight for the unrealized ideals of an inherited homeland.

    The Loneliest Americans

    by Jay Caspian Kang

    In 1965, a new immigration law lifted a century of restrictions against Asian immigrants to the United States. Over the next forty years, millions would arrive, including Jay Caspian Kang’s parents. These immigrants came to this country looking for the American Dream, but found that they were forced to live in the fringes, neither truly white nor truly “people of color.” Kang recognizes this existential loneliness in himself and in other Asian Americans who try to locate themselves in the country’s racial binary. With the wave of rising anti-Asian violence, this book is now needed more than ever.
