Abstract: New York City, 1972. Jaryk Smith, a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto, and Lucy Gardner, a southerner newly arrived in the city, are in the first bloom of love when they receive word that Jaryk's oldest friend has died under mysterious circumstances in a rural village in eastern India. Travelling there to collect his friend's ashes, Jaryk finds himself enmeshed in the chaos of local politics and efforts to stage a play in protest against the government-- the same play that he performed as a child in Warsaw as an act of resistance against the Nazis. Jaryk must decide how to honor both the past and the present, and how to accept a happiness he is not sure he deserves.

Abstract: Gabriel Pottjewijd ist bestürzt. Er ist nach Südholland gereist, um dort eine der letzten Garrels-Orgeln zu stimmen. Nun aber dröhnt die Schiffswerft, die Ankerketten klirren - und die der Unrast anheimgefallenen Städter machen Gabriel das Leben schwer. Allein die sonderbare Lanna steht ihm beim Stimmen geduldig zur Seite. Bis er anonyme Drohbriefe erhält, die auf ihre kratzbürstige Mutter Gracinha anspielen. Denn die hat schon ganz anderen den Kopf verdreht.

Abstract: Emilia Romero is living a double life. By day, she's a field hockey star with a flawless report card. But by night, she's kicking virtual ass as the only female member of a highly competitive eSports team. Emilia has mastered the art of keeping her two worlds thriving, which hinges on them staying completely separate. That's in part to keep her real-life persona, but also for her own safety, since girl gamers are often threatened and harassed. When a major eSports tournament comes to her city, Emilia is determined to prove herself to her team and the male-dominated gaming community. But her perfectly balanced life is thrown for a loop when a member of a rival team recognizes her . . . Jake Hooper has had a crush on Emilia since he was ten years old. When his underdog eSports team makes it into the tournament, he's floored to discover she's been leading a double life. The fates bring Jake and Emilia together as they work to keep her secret, even as the pressures of the tournament and their non-gaming world threaten to pull everything apart.
