“A scorchingly brilliant, wildly funny, and deeply moving epic.” —John Green, #1 globally bestselling author of The Fault in Our Stars Two unlikely heroes embark on quests to win God’s favor in this outrageously entertaining, profoundly heartfelt novel that announces an ingenious new voice in the tradition of Chain-Gang All-Stars, No One Is Talking About This, and Martyr!Yara can’t comprehend why God has chosen them to slay Dominic, the ruthless leader of the army of Bad Guys. Cast out by their family and reeling from a destructive relationship, Yara has never felt weaker—but with nothing left to lose, they strike a deal. Abandoning their solitary days of embroidery and obsessive cleaning, Yara reluctantly embarks on a perilous odyssey designed to prepare them for the daunting mission ahead.Meanwhile, Adrena, a disillusioned prophet with a terrifying secret power, is determined to become the hero of this story. Desperately seeking the glory of God’s approval and the promise of heaven, where she hopes to reunite with her beloved mother, Adrena must first persuade Harpo, the leader of the Good Guys, that her plan is God’s will.As their journeys unfold in a series of unforgettable adventures, Yara and Adrena are propelled toward each other and transformative revelations about life, death, and destiny in this intensely captivating, irreverent epic from a singularly brilliant new voice in fiction.

- About the book: Dora: A Daughter of Unforgiving Terrain is a gripping memoir by Dora Rodriguez, one of only thirteen survivors of a harrowing 1980 crossing through the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona during El Salvador’s civil war. At just nineteen, Dora risked everything to flee political violence, only to be met with new dangers along the migrant trail. Her story unfolds in vivid, heart-wrenching detail, from a childhood of hardship and resilience in Santa Ana, El Salvador, to the moment she collapses in the desert, left for dead, and through to her eventual rise as a humanitarian leader in the U.S. borderlands. Her story became one of the catalysts for the Sanctuary City movement in Tucson.\ \ \ \ Now the Founder and Director of Salvavision, Dora shares her journey with unflinching honesty, illuminating the realities of forced migration and the resilience it demands. This is a story of survival, service, and the enduring hope that drives people to risk everything for a better life.\ \ \ \ For readers of Solito and The Line Becomes a River, this book offers a firsthand account of forced migration and the strength it takes to rebuild. An essential title for readers drawn to immigration stories, human rights, and voices of lived experience.\ \ \ Thursday, June 18th at 6:00 PM \ \ Join us at Sunny's for our monthly in-person event, Sunny's Salon.
