All We Ever Wanted Was Everything
by Janelle Brown

When Paul Miller's pharmaceutical company goes public, making his family IPO millionaires, his wife, Janice, is sure this is the windfall she's been waiting years for - until she learns that her husband is divorcing her and cutting her out of the new fortune. Meanwhile, the Millers' older daughter, Margaret, has been dumped by her newly famous actor boyfriend and left in the lurch by an investor. Sliding toward bankruptcy and dogged by creditors, she flees for home where her younger sister Lizzie, 14, is struggling with problems of her own. The three Miller women retreat behind the walls of their Georgian colonial to wage battle with divorce lawyers, debt collectors, drug-dealing pool boys, mean girls, country club ladies, evangelical neighbors, their own demons, and each other. In the process they become achingly sympathetic characters, even as the world they live in epitomizes everything wrong with the American Dream.

"A withering Silicon Valley satire . . . Brown's hip narrative reads like a sharp, contemporary twist on The Corrections."
-Publishers Weekly

"Brown's winning debut teaches a hopeful truth: sometimes, just as you're starting to drown, things
fall back into place."
-People

Mexican High
by
Liza Monroy

The daughter of an American diplomat, Mila has spent her childhood moving from country to country. When her mother is reassigned to Mexico City for Mila's senior year of high school, Mila has no idea what to expect. Mexico seems to be a country with the ultimate freedoms: the wealthy students at her private international school - the sons and daughters of Mexico's ruling class - party hard at exclusive clubs, dress in expensive clothing, and see more of their housekeepers than they do their globe-trotting parents. But Mila has more in common with them than they know: her father, whose identity has been kept from her, is a high-ranking politician with whom Mila's mother had a one-night stand in her hippie days. Now Mila is determined to discover who he is, whatever the cost may be. This coming-of-age story about identity, belonging, and first love provides a revealing look at elite Mexican society, and its freedoms, dangers, and excesses.

"Liza Monroy, wise beyond her years, brilliantly portrays the highs and lows and loves of school life. . . Spirited, harrowing, and utterly compelling"
-Oscar Hijuelos, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love

". . .hot, hilarious, and heartbreaking . . . A stunning debut."
-Susan Shapiro, author of Lighting Up and Five Men Who Broke My Heart
