Heart of a Champion by Ellen Schwartz6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() Coming across a "vacant" field covered with scrap wood, broken shakes and torn tar paper, Kenny gets permission to clear it and convert it into a baseball field. When Mickey is arrested for a small act of violence, Kenny manages to keep his family's spirits up, despite the deplorable conditions in camp. When Japan attacks Pearl Harbor in 1941, everything for Kenny and his family spirals out of control: schools are closed, businesses are confiscated, fathers are arrested and sent to work camps in the BC interior and mothers and children are relocated to internment camps.

Dominicana, out on September 3, has already been on ‘most anticipated’ lists of The New York Times, Time, Buzzfeed, and The Washington Post for good reason. As she struggles with abuse, the pressures of enduring for one’s family, her ambivalence about motherhood, and a growing attraction to another man, Cruz also illuminates the larger machinations of our world-from the Dominican Civil War to Malcolm X’s death to the competitive tensions between different immigrant groups in New York City. ![]() Ana’s tender, raw voice is distinctive and full of pathos.

Angie Cruz’s third novel, Dominicana, is an evocative, commanding story that digs into the universal themes of immigration, love, war, and family through a specific, voice-driven lens. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nearly a minute went by and no one answered.

Though the building was nice and in a good part of town, the carpet was old and threadbare. Gold-framed abstract art lined the walls. I took several- in, out, in, out -and examined my surroundings. But here I was-my heart pounding and hands sweating, debating the pros and cons of raising my fist to the wood and knocking. Actually, I couldn’t remember deciding to come this far. Whether or not I wanted to go any further, I hadn’t decided.
