The cohesive paperback edition makes a striking gift or a ready-to-browse set for any bookshelf.
Books Included in This Collection:
With the Fire on High
Emoni Santiago, a seventeen-year-old mother, balances school, family, and a burning dream to become a chef. In the kitchen, her talent glows; outside it, she faces tough choices about love, responsibility, and the path to independence. The book blends real life with mouth-watering food imagery, showing how cooking can offer a gateway to identity, community, and hope. A powerful, uplifting story about resilience, family, and chasing your dreams.
Clap When You Land
Camino Rios and Yahaira Rios live far apart—one in the Dominican Republic, one in New York—yet share a father whose death sends shockwaves through both families. As each sister grapples with grief, secrets surface that change how they understand home and belonging.
