<span style="font-size: 11pt;">"Hollow Fires" by Samira Ahmed, BARD ID = DB108627. Duration = 10 hours and 10 minutes.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">It is also available via Amazon's Audible subscription service in addition to BARD/ NLS.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Good Read Description: "A powerful, gripping Young Adult fiction novel about the insidious nature of racism, the terrible costs of unearthing hidden truths, and the undeniable power of hope. Safiya Mirza dreams of becoming a journalist.
And one thing she’s learned as editor of her school newspaper is that a journalist’s job is to find the facts and not let personal biases affect the story. But all that changes the day she finds the body of a murdered boy.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Jawad Ali was fourteen years old when he built a cosplay jetpack that a teacher mistook for a bomb. A jetpack that got him arrested, labeled a terrorist—and eventually killed. But he’s more than a dead body, and more than “Bomb
Boy.” He was a person with a life worth remembering.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Driven by Jawad’s haunting voice guiding her throughout her investigation, Safiya seeks to tell the whole truth about the murdered boy and those who killed him because of their hate-based beliefs.</span><br>
</div>
<div class="PlainText elementToProof"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">This gripping and powerful book uses an innovative format and lyrical prose to expose the evil that exists in front of us, and the silent complicity of the privileged who create alternative
facts to bend the truth to their liking." </span><br>

can be. They grew up together on Nantucket, but Mandy is the only one that stayed.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Jill lives a glamorous life in Manhattan as a co-owner of a successful executive search firm. Never married, she is in her mid-thirties and lives in a stunning, corner condo with breathtaking views of the city and Hudson river.
Everyone thinks there's something going on with her partner, Nick, because as a workaholic, she spends more time with him than anyone else. But there's never been anything but friendship between them and Nick loves being a bachelor in NYC.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Emma lives in Arizona and is an elementary school teacher and aspiring photographer. She met her college professor husband, Peter, in grad school and they've been married for over fifteen years. In recent years, she's noticed
that Peter has grown distant. But when he shares a surprising secret, she doesn't see it coming and her world is turned upside down.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Mandy followed her high school boyfriend, Cory to Boston College, and after graduation, they married and Cory joined a successful hedge fund in Boston, while Mandy stayed home and had two children, Blake and Brooke. They moved
home to Nantucket when Cory opened a competing hedge fund. Now that the children are older, Mandy is eager to do more than coordinate local charity events. But Cory doesn't want her to work. He thinks it doesn't reflect well on him and appearances are everything
to Cory. Though when Mandy finds a second cell phone in his gym bag, she begins to question what is really going on.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">When their beloved grandmother, Ethel Ferguson passes peacefully in her sleep a week before her ninety-ninth birthday, she leaves them quite a surprise. In addition to her Nantucket home, they learn that she was the silent owner
of Mimi's Place, one of Nantucket's most popular year-round restaurants.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">There is of course, a catch--she left the restaurant equally to Mandy, Emma, and Jill--and also to Paul, the restaurant chef for the past fifteen years.</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">And before they can sell, all three girls must work at the restaurant for one year--or their shares of the restaurant will go to Paul. The same Paul that broke one of their hearts many years ago."</span><br>
