Fiction
This Is My America by Kim Johnson
Every week, 17-year-old Tracy Beaumont writes letters to Innocence X, asking the organization to help her father, an innocent Black man on death row. After 7 years, Tracy is running out of time--her dad has 275 days left.
Then one night changes everything. The police arrive, pounding on the door, and Tracy's older brother, Jamal, goes from being a bright, promising track star to a "thug" on the run, accused of killing a white girl. Determined to save her brother, Tracy investigates what really happened between Jamal and Angela down at the Pike. And as Tracy discovers the racist history that haunts her small town's present, she begins to wonder whether she's lighting the torch that will illuminate her family's innocence... or lighting the fuse that will cause her world to explode.
Kim Johnson's gripping debut is a revelation--an incendiary, crucial look at the American justice system, delivered as an uplifting read full of love conquering hate and of justice delivered in the face of injustice.

Nonfiction
The Lemon Tree: An Arab, a Jew, and the Heart of the Middle East by Sandy Tolan
In 1967, a 25-year-old refugee named Bashir Khairi traveled from the Palestinian hill town of Ramallah to Ramla, Israel, with a goal: to see the beloved stone house with the lemon tree in its backyard that he and his family had been forced to leave 19 years earlier. When he arrived, he was greeted by one of its new residents: Dalia Eshkenazi Landau, a 19-year-old Israeli college student whose family had fled Europe following the Holocaust. She had lived in that house since she was 11 months old.
On the stoop of this shared house, Dalia and Bashir began a surprising friendship, forged in the aftermath of war and later tested as political tensions ran high and Israelis and Palestinians each asserted their own right to live on this land.
Adapted from the award-winning adult book and based on Sandy Tolan's extensive research and reporting, The Lemon Tree​ is a deeply personal story of two people seeking hope, transformation, and home.
