Well worth the investment in time and $, Shelley's history is wide-ranging and accessible, written out of a devout Protestant perspective but never flinching from the appalling and inexcusable ways in which the Visible Church has often behaved. Shelley's portrait aligns with the "already and not yet" reality of an Invisible Church being constructed, as a work of the Spirit, like a house of cards in a whirlwind--a seeming impossibility, nevertheless we catch rare but crystal-clear glimpses of this miracle wrought from the hand of the One who "commands the very wind and waves."
Natasha's family immigrated to New York illegall from Jamaica. Daniel's family immigrated legally from South Korea. Natasha likes science, Daniel likes poetry. Natasha doesn't believe in love, but Daniel believes in it more than anything. They meet by chance on the most important day of Natasha's life: she's about to be deported. Nominated for the National Book Award in 2016, this topical book packs a punch. Natasha's plight is a reality people face every day. I was also completely swept into her relationship with Daniel. If you're looking for quality contemporary YA, you won't be disappointed.
Queer lower class left to die, collectively surviving in an environmental apocalyptic near future, and fighting back against rich landlords? Chef's kiss. This is one of those books that is utterly devastating - and somehow hopeful at the same time - in the truths it speaks. This is a book that defies the one-man apocalypse survivor trope, both in gender stereotypes and realism in the effectiveness and necessity of community building. This is a book that made me think, oh god, I need to obtain a crowbar (or three) and twenty gallons of water, but also, is it even worth it?
Reading this book though? Absolutely worth it.
