You, Me and the Sea by Meg Donohue
In this spellbinding and suspenseful tale, the ocean holds secrets in its darkest depths. Merrow Shawe lives an enchanting childhood on a small farm off the coast of California. But it has hardships—the mystery of Merrow’s mother’s death haunts her, as does the senseless cruelty of her older brother. Then Amir arrives in Merrow’s life. Together they embrace their love of the sea and their growing love for each other.
When tragedy strikes, Merrow questions whether Amir is really the person she believed him to be. To escape danger, she must let go of the only home she’s ever known and the only boy she’s ever loved.

Guesthouse for Ganesha by Judith Teitelman
In 1923, seventeen-year-old Esther Grünspan arrives in Köln “with a hardened heart as her sole luggage.” Thus begins a twenty-two-year journey, woven against the backdrops of the European Holocaust and the Hindu Kali Yuga (the “Age of Darkness” when human civilization degenerates spiritually), in search of a place of sanctuary.
Throughout her travails, Esther relies on her masterful tailoring skills to help mask her Jewish heritage, navigate war-torn Europe, and emigrate to India. Weaving Eastern beliefs and perspectives with Western realities and pragmatism, Guesthouse for Ganesha is a tale of love, loss, and spirit reclaimed.
