Book Description
They’ve both sworn off romance, but love is written in the stars. Naomi Insta-love isn’t a thing. Even if fans of my podcast think differently. But I can’t deny the insta-sparks with the cute boy Hunter on my family camping trip. My fans think I’ve got it all figured out, so maybe it’s time to follow my own advice and listen to my heart. Hunter’s scowly attitude almost makes me hit rewind, but our interfering siblings convince me to give him another chance. Just when he starts to open up, I get an offer that could change everything I had planned for the future—and ruin my shot at happily ever after. Hunter My friends say I have a one-track mind, but it’s not what you’re thinking. If I’m going to finish college in three years and be a book editor in New York, I don’t have time for distractions—not even by girls as charming as Naomi. Despite my attempts, it’s impossible to ignore this love interest who’s fallen into my orbit. I finally have the opportunity to be the hero in my own story, but I have a secret that puts more than just my future at stake, and if I make the wrong decision, it could alter my plotline forever. Book two in the Campfire Series, Chasing the Stars, is filled with stolen kisses, tipping canoes, and stars so bright you can see into the next galaxy.

Book Description
Jeffrey Stepakoff's The Melody of Secrets is an epic love story set against the 1960s U.S. space program, when deeply-buried secrets could threaten not just a marriage, but a country. Maria was barely eighteen as WWII was coming to its explosive end. A brilliant violinist, she tried to comfort herself with the Sibelius Concerto as American bombs rained down. James Cooper wasn't much older. A roguish fighter pilot stationed in London, he was shot down during a daring night raid and sought shelter in Maria's cottage. Fifteen years later, in Huntsville, Alabama, Maria is married to a German rocket scientist who works for the burgeoning U.S. space program. Her life in the South is at peace, purposefully distanced from her past. Everything is as it should be—until James Cooper walks back into it. Pulled from the desert airfield where he was testing planes no sane Air Force pilot would touch, and drinking a bit too much, Cooper is offered the chance to work for the government, and move himself to the front of the line for the astronaut program. He soon realizes that his job is to report not only on the rocket engines but also on the scientists developing them. Then Cooper learns secrets that could shatter Maria's world...

This triumphant picture book recasts a charged phrase as part of a black girl's everyday life--hands up for a hug, hands up in class, hands up for a high five--before culminating in a moment of resistance at a protest march. A young black girl lifts her baby hands up to greet the sun, reaches her hands up for a book on a high shelf, and raises her hands up in praise at a church service. She stretches her hands up high like a plane's wings and whizzes down a hill so fast on her bike with her hands way up. As she grows, she lives through everyday moments of joy, love, and sadness. And when she gets a little older, she joins together with her family and her community in a protest march, where they lift their hands up together in resistance and strength.
