Deja's got a plan. The first in her large family to go to college, she wants to study chemistry and sell natural skin care products, like the ones she already creates from plants grown on her family's North Carolina farm. It all starts with the Onward Bound summer program at the University of Maryland, the summer before school officially starts.

Raja's got a dream. His traditional Nepali parents want him to study engineering and settle down in an arranged marriage, but his passion is art, and he wants to open his own tattoo parlor one day. In the meantime, he's apprenticing at a tattoo shop in College Park, Maryland.

When Deja walks into the shop where Raja's working, they both start crushing hard—over the course of the summer, they fall more and more deeply for one another. But the closer they get and the more their lives entwine, the more they find that dating someone who doesn't match your parents' expectations is harder than they ever imagined.

Can they bridge the divide between the vision their families have for their futures and the lives—and love—that are starting to feel like destiny?]]>https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11217147https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11217147Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11217147980EBOOKenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9781665948692&content=M&Return=1&Type=Mhttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C2193028https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S91C2193028Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2193028091BKAn Anthology of Black Love Stories at HBCUsenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9780593875179&content=M&Return=1&Type=MA heartwarming and unforgettable collection of love stories set at Historically Black Colleges and Universities, exploring hope, endurance, and what it means to leave a legacy, from some of today’s most prominent Black writers and edited by the acclaimed author of Love Radio
“The best kind of homecoming . . . heartbreak, self-discovery, belonging, culture, history, and Black love . . . What more could you want from your time in the HBCU universe?”—USA Today bestselling author Adriana Herrera
Love can be messy, painful, and heartbreaking, but it can also be revolutionary, profound, and hopeful. For Celine, a forbidden crush on a professor evolves into a second chance at romance years later. Myra’s focus on a coveted audition for the Fisk Jubilee Singers is challenged by the handsome music major determined to help her. Kiese investigates the darker side to academia, love, and identity. Like most blessings, love emerges in the most unexpected places—in a training cockpit for new pilots, during a Mardi Gras celebration, or while gathering signatures to start the first-ever LGBTQ+ student organization officially recognized at an HBCU.
These are just a few of the heart-searing, tender, and transporting love stories collected in You’ve Got a Place Here, Too—a true celebration of Black love and the profound impact of HBCUs on the community.
Featuring stories by Elizabeth Acevedo, Jasmine Bell, Carla Bruce, Aaron Foley, Kai Harris, Ebony LaDelle, Kiese Laymon, Christine Platt, Farrah Rochon, Kennedy Ryan, Dawnie Walton, and Nicola Yoon.]]>https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11597901https://pima.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C11597901Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMThttps://pima.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/11597901980EAUDIOBOOKAn Anthology of Black Love Stories Set at HBCUsenghttps://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&userID=TPPL101&password=CC85701&Value=9798217159956&content=M&Return=1&Type=M
