SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Aurélie Thiele\, discusses The Paris Understudy
DESCRIPTION:This powerful debut novel brings to life the hard choices Parisians made–or failed to make–under Nazi occupation\, in the tradition of Pam Jenoff and Fiona Davis. \n1938. Paris Opera legend Madeleine Moreau must keep newcomer Yvonne Chevallier\, whose talent she fears\, off the stage. As the long-standing star of the opera\, she is nowhere near ready to give up her spotlight. The perfect solution: enlist Yvonne as her understudy so she can never be upstaged. When Madeleine is invited to headline at Germany’s pre-eminent opera festival\, she is sure this will cement her legacy. But war is looming\, and when she learns that Adolf Hitler himself will be in attendance\, she knows she’s made a grave error. As Madeleine makes a hurried escape back to France\, Yvonne finds herself unexpectedly thrown into the limelight on the German stage. \nWhen a newspaper photograph shows Hitler seemingly enraptured by Yvonne\, Yvonne’s life is upended. While she is trying frantically to repair her reputation at home\, Yvonne’s son is captured and held as a prisoner of war. Desperate to free her son\, she makes an impossible choice: turn to the enemy. \nAs the Nazis invade Paris\, both women must decide what they are willing to do in pursuit of their art. They form an unlikely alliance\, using their fame to protect themselves and the people they love from the maelstrom of history. \nPainting an enrapturing portrait of resilient wartime women\, The Paris Understudy is a love letter to the arts and a stark depiction of the choices we make to survive\, for fans of Kate Quinn and Kristen Harmel.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Désirée Zamorano\, in conversation with Naomi Hirahara\, discusses Dispossessed
DESCRIPTION:Manuel Galvan is separated from his parents and sister during the mass expatriation of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the 1930s. He grows from a small\, lost and confused boy into a wandering and angry teenager pushed out of high school and into the dockyards. Later as a loyal\, passionate husband he is a man searching for a life of value and dignity despite his losses. Set against the backdrop of (Mexican) American history in Los Angeles\, forced deportations\, the demolition of Chavez Ravine\, sterilization of Latinas\, student protests and rising political consciousness\, this story spans his life\, from 6 to 60\, and his search for his missing family\, the missing pieces of his life. \nAbout Désirée Zamorano: Born and raised in Los Angeles Désirée Zamorano is the author of the highly acclaimed literary novel\, The Amado Women. Her novel Human Cargo was Latinidad’s mystery pick of the year. She is a Pushcart prize nominee and award-winning short story writer. Her work is often an exploration of issues of invisibility\, injustice\, or inequity. A selection of her writing can be found in Catapult\, Cultural Weekly\, The Kenyon Review Online\, and Akashic’ s South Central Noir. She teaches linguistic and cultural diversity at Cal State Long Beach. \nAbout Naomi Hirahara: Naomi Hirahara is the Edgar® Award-winning author of the Officer Ellie Rush Mysteries\, including Grave on Grand Avenue and Murder on Bamboo Lane (which received the T. Jefferson Parker Mystery Award).

SUMMARY:Vroman’s Special Storytime featuring Linda Liu discussing Sour Apple
DESCRIPTION:From the creator of Hidden Gem comes a funny and delightful new picture book about an apple who learns the importance of self-acceptance and patience after being left behind during picking season. \nEver been picked last? Well\, this sour apple knows a thing or two about what it feels like to be forgotten. When apple season passes and he’s left on the cold\, hard ground\, he questions his place in the world. \nAs his introspection branches out into different ideas of what could have been if he was chosen\, he learns some core truths about what it means to be alive. \nAbout Linda Liu: Linda Liu is an illustrator and a designer based in Southern California with a taste for tactile textures\, saucy shapes\, and palatable palettes. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and now works freelance and full-time so she can be a girl boss and a girl employee at the same time. She is the author and illustrator of Hidden Gem and Sour Apple.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Attica Locke discusses Guide Me Home
DESCRIPTION:In the final novel in the “timely and evocative” (NPR) Highway 59 trilogy\, from Edgar Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author Attica Locke\, Darren Matthews is pulled out of an early retirement to investigate the disappearance of a Black college student from an all-white sorority and soon finds nothing is as it seems. \nTexas Ranger Darren Mathews isn’t sure he’s been a good cop\, but believes he’s got a shot at being a good man—if he manages to dodge the potential indictment hanging over his head and if he\, from here on out\, pledges allegiance to the truth. It’s a virtue the country appears to have wholly lost its grip on\, but one Darren sees as his salvation. He is in the midst of remaking his life with the woman he loves\, hoping for the peace of country living at his beloved farmhouse\, when he is visited by someone who couldn’t hold the truth on her tongue if it was dipped in sugar\, a woman who’s always been bent of tearing his life apart. His mother. Armed with a tall tale about a missing Black college student\, Sera (whose white sorority sisters insist she isn’t missing at all). Darren must decide if his can trust his mother is telling the truth—and what her ulterior motive may be\, and what if that motive has to do with a grand jury deciding his fate. \nDarren gets his hooks into the investigation\, along the way discovering things about Sera’s family and her hometown that are odd at best\, vaguely sinister at worst. Hamstrung by local law enforcement and the Texas Rangers who likewise doubt the account of a missing girl\, if Darren wants answers\, he’ll need help from the person whom he swore to never trust again—his mother. \nIn this emotionally stirring conclusion to the singular Highway 59 series\, set three years after the events of Heaven\, My Home\, Darren reckons with his life’s purpose as he’s forced to choose between his own peace and the higher call to do good. \n  \nAbout Attica Locke: Attica Locke is a NY Times best-selling author of five novels\, including Bluebird\, Bluebird\, which won the Edgar Award for Best Novel. She is also a winner of the Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction\, the Ernest Gaines Award for Literary Excellence\, and she has been short listed for the Women’s Prize for Fiction and nominated for an LA Times Book Prize and an NAACP Image award for her work as a novelist. Locke is also a screenwriter and TV producer\, with credits that include Empire\, When They See Us and the Emmy-nominated Little Fires Everywhere\, for which she won an NAACP Image award for television writing. She co-created and executive produced an adaptation of her sister Tembi Locke’s memoir From Scratch: A Memoir of Love\, Sicily\, and Finding Home for Netflix. A native of Houston\, Texas\, Attica lives in Los Angeles\, California.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kwei Quartey discusses The Whitewashed Tombs
DESCRIPTION:Marcelo Tetteh\, a twenty-seven-year-old LGBTQ activist\, is butchered one night after being lured on Grindr to a deserted building site. With rampant homophobia in Ghana\, Marcelo’s wealthy father doesn’t trust the Ghana Police Service to find the killer\, so he goes to the Sowah Private Investigators Agency for help\, partly because he still feels guilty for disowning his son when he came out. \nEmma is assigned the case but quickly learns of a complication that prevents her from teaming up as usual with Jojo\, her trusted colleague. Emma is the only one at work who knows Jojo is gay\, and now he reveals something else: for some time\, Jojo was dating Marcelo\, the victim. \nWorking with Manu\, whom she’s never gotten along with\, Emma goes undercover in the International Congress of Families\, a powerful organization seeking to criminalize homosexuality in African countries. As Emma infiltrates the ICF\, she uncovers a web of deceit and hypocrisy and discovers that the mastermind behind the murders is someone much closer than she ever imagined. Emma must race against time to unmask the killer\, protect the vulnerable LGBTQ+ community\, and bring justice to the victims\, all while navigating the dangerous waters of politics\, power\, and personal secrets.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Eli Greenbaum discusses Hell\, No\, We Didn't Go! Firsthand Accounts of Vietnam War Protest and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:In Hell\, No\, We Didn’t Go!\, Eli Greenbaum presents firsthand accounts of men who were driven to resist or dodge the Vietnam draft at all costs. He introduces readers to a cross section of individuals who found ways to defy the draft by leaving the country\, going to prison\, becoming conscientious objectors\, gaming the system\, conspiring to fail physicals\, and even enlisting—anything to avoid being drafted. These vivid essays and candid oral histories detail events that were often controversial\, sometimes volatile\, and almost always emotionally charged. Greenbaum brings together a chorus of first-person accounts of draft resistance and protest held together by an overarching personal narrative while providing context\, commentary\, and an unusual fifty-year perspective on the men’s decisions to avoid the Vietnam War\, no matter what.
