#1 New York Times bestseller Maria Dahvana Headley's soaring sky
fantasy Magonia is now in paperback! Since she was a baby, Aza Ray
Boyle has suffered from a mysterious lung disease that makes it
ever harder for her to breathe, to speak-to live. So when Aza
catches a glimpse of a ship in the sky, her family chalks it up to
a cruel side effect of her medication. But Aza doesn't think this
is a hallucination. She can hear someone on the ship calling her
name. Only her best friend, Jason, listens. Jason, who's always
been there. Jason, for whom she might have more-than-friendly
feelings. But before Aza can consider that thrilling idea,
something goes terribly wrong. Aza is lost to our world-and found
by another. Magonia. Above the clouds, in a land of trading ships,
Aza is not the weak and dying thing she was. In Magonia, she can
breathe for the first time. Better, she has immense power-but as
she navigates her new life, she discovers that war between Magonia
and Earth is coming. In Aza's hands lies the fate of the whole of
humanity-including the boy who loves her. Where do her loyalties
lie?
The "poignant and hilarious" (Newsday) story of one woman's twelve
months of dating anyone -- absolutely anyone -- who asked her out
At some point every woman who's single (and not by choice)
wonders whether she's not somehow responsible for her predicament.
Is she too choosy? Should she have given that guy with the combover
and the mother issues a shot? Maybe three full feet isnt too much
of a height difference . . .? Maria Dahvana Headley had been there,
cherry-picking the men shed dated based on a variety of criteria,
and clearly it wasnt getting her anywhere.
The Year of Yes is the hilarious and hopeful account of
Headley's quest to find a man she could stand (for longer than a
couple of hours). Frustrated by her own ineffective taste, she
resolved to leave her love life up to fate, dating anyone who asked
her: homeless men, a millionaire, several non-English speakers, a
mime, and even two women. And finally, one man whose baggage would
have disqualified him in any other year . . . but this was the Year
of Yes, when Headley would finally discover what was really
important.
