Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My neurologist stunned me when she said, " You have multiple sclerosis, and looking at your MRI, you are a walking time bomb. You may not have symptoms today, but it's just a matter of time." As the MS tightened its grip on my body, I plunged deep into a myriad of strange feelings - denial and depression for over a year. Her diagnosis came true, but it wasn't until I researched what MS was all about and began to experience harsh symptoms did it slowly occur to me that some of them had been with me all my life in milder versions. My "silent bomb" had been ticking for fifty years before it exploded. This is a true story that chronicles my MS life and describes all the events, symptoms, feelings, perceptions, and plausible origins, along with some relevant entertaining stories that have influenced me since early childhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A funny, perceptive, and much-needed book telling a much-needed story.” —Celeste Ng, author of the New York Times bestseller Little Fires Everywhere First-generation American LatinX Liliana Cruz does what it takes to fit in at her new nearly all-white school. But when family secrets spill out and racism at school ramps up, she must decide what she believes in and take a stand. Liliana Cruz is a hitting a wall—or rather, walls. There’s the wall her mom has put up ever since Liliana’s dad left—again. There’s the wall that delineates Liliana’s diverse inner-city Boston neighborhood from Westburg, the wealthy—and white—suburban high school she’s just been accepted into. And there’s the wall Liliana creates within herself, because to survive at Westburg, she can’t just lighten up, she has to whiten up. So what if she changes her name? So what if she changes the way she talks? So what if she’s seeing her neighborhood in a different way? But then light is shed on some hard truths: It isn’t that her father doesn’t want to come home—he can’t…and her whole family is in jeopardy. And when racial tensions at school reach a fever pitch, the walls that divide feel insurmountable. But a wall isn’t always a barrier. It can be a foundation for something better. And Liliana must choose: Use this foundation as a platform to speak her truth, or risk crumbling under its weight.
