By her suburban town, which makes her feel too much like an outsider to fit in and not enough like an outsider to feel like that she belongs somewhere else. At least she has her childhood friend Haitham, with whom she can let her guard down and be herself. Until she doesn't. As the ground is pulled out from under her, Nima must grapple with the phantom of a life not chosen, the name her parents didn't give her at birth: Yasmeen. But that other name, that other girl, might just be more real than Nima knows. And more hungry. And the life Nima has, the one she keeps wishing were someone else's...she might have to fight for it with a fierceness she never knew she had"--Publisher's description.
Author: Serle, Rebecca, author. Published: 2019 2018 Call Number: F SERLE Format: Books Summary: "We've all played the game: Which five people, living or dead, would you like to have dinner with? But what if that dinner was to actually happen? When Sabrina Nielsen arrives at her thirtieth-birthday dinner to meet her best friend, she finds at the table some unexpected guests, among them her favorite professor from college, Audrey Hepburn, and ... her ex, Tobias. After almost a decade-long love affair with Tobias, Sabrina is at a crossroads much more significant than turning thirty. The New York life she always anticipated for herself, and that she worked hard for, doesn't appear to be in her future. Her best friend has moved on to motherhood, her family might as well be strangers, and marriage is as far off as it ever has been. While the wine is poured, appetizers are served, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that there's a reason these six people have been gathered together. As Rebecca Serle masterfully traces Sabrina and Tobias's relationship--from their first meeting in college to navigating the treacherous terrains of their twenties--The Dinner List grapples with the highs and lows of first love, and the unexpected detours on the road to finding your own happily ever after. Sweet with just the right amount of bitter, The Dinner List is a triumph of imagination, and a romance for our time. Bon appétit."-- $c from dust jacket.

Author: Chernow, Ron author. Published: 2004 Call Number: B HAMILTON Format: Books Summary: Ron Chernow tells the story of a man who overcame all odds to shape, inspire, and scandalize the newborn America. Few figures in American history have been more hotly debated or more grossly misunderstood than Alexander Hamilton. Chernow's biography argues that the political and economic greatness of today's America is the result of Hamilton's countless sacrifices to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. Chernow here recounts Hamilton's turbulent life: an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, he came out of nowhere to take America by storm, rising to become George Washington's aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, founding the Bank of New York, leading the Federalist Party, and becoming the first Treasury Secretary of the United States. Historians have long told the story of America's birth as the triumph of Jefferson's democratic ideals over the aristocratic intentions of Hamilton. Chernow presents an entirely different man, whose legendary ambitions were motivated not merely by self-interest but by passionate patriotism and a stubborn will to build the foundations of American prosperity and power. His is a Hamilton far more human than we've encountered before -- from his shame about his birth to his fiery aspirations, from his intimate relationships with childhood friends to his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, Monroe, and Burr, and from his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds to his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza. And never before has there been a more vivid account of Hamilton's famous and mysterious death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July of 1804.
