The Stonewall Honor-winning author of Beyond Magenta shares the intimate, eye-opening stories of nine undocumented young adults living in America.

"Maybe next time they hear someone railing about how terrible immigrants are, they'll think about me. I'm a real person."

Meet nine courageous young adults who have lived in the United States with a secret for much of their lives: they are not U.S. citizens. They came from Colombia, Mexico, Ghana, Independent Samoa, and Korea. They came seeking education, fleeing violence, and escaping poverty. All have heartbreaking and hopeful stories about leaving their homelands and starting a new life in America. And all are weary of living in the shadows. We Are Here to Stay is a very different book than it was intended to be when originally slated for a 2017 release, illustrated with Susan Kuklin's gorgeous full-color portraits. Since the last presidential election and the repeal of DACA, it is no longer safe for these young adults to be identified in photographs or by name. Their photographs have been replaced with empty frames, and their names are represented by first initials. We are honored to publish these enlightening, honest, and brave accounts that encourage open, thoughtful conversation about the complexities of immigration -- and the uncertain future of immigrants in America.

Another "fine" videogame tie-in.
Format: Paperback
“Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple” (wow, that’s a mouthful of a title) is the requisite comic book tie-in to the “Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order” videogame that was released last month, to which this serves as a prequel. And, like most of Marvel’s “Star Wars” output, it falls squarely into the category of being“perfectly adequate” – the story is diverting enough, without ever being truly gripping, and the characters have just enough personality and quirk to disguise the fact that they’re basically just engines to keep the story moving. Really, the only thing about “Dark Temple” that rises above the level of 'competent' is the art by Paolo Villanelli, which mixes dichotomous colors with sharp line work to meld into something that’s genuinely striking and distinct. Fans of “Fallen Order” might be apt to see what some of their favorite characters were up in the years preceding the game’s story, but rest assured: story-wise, there’s not much to glean here, outside of one or two teasing allusions. Die-hard fans of “Star Wars” will probably enjoy this well enough; anyone else probably need not read.

Incredible!!
Format: Kindle
It is wonderful to know the events that led up to Fallen Order. Without the context of Eno Cordova and Cere's past, it was hard to put the pieces together. But not anymore! Great job to the author and artists!
