When the sky clears, we are alone on an empty road with no clue which way to go. Oklahoma, 1935. Fifteen-year-old Faith Wilson takes her little sister Hope's hand. In worn-down shoes, they walk through the choking heat of the Dust Bowl towards a new life in California. But when a storm blows in, the girls are separated from their parents. How will they survive in a place where just the color of their skin puts them in terrible danger? Starving and forced to sleep on the streets, Faith thinks a room in a small boarding house will keep her sister safe. But the glare in the landlady's eye as Faith leaves in search of their parents has her wondering if she's made a dangerous mistake. Who is this woman, and what does she want with sweet little Hope? Trapped, will the sisters ever find their way back to their family? California, present day. Reeling from her divorce and grieving the child she lost, Zoe Edwards feels completely alone in the world.

Could this girl be a long-lost relation, someone to finally explain the holes in Zoe's family history? Diving into the secrets in her past, Zoe unravels this young girl's heartbreaking story of bravery and sacrifice. But will anything prepare her for the truth about who she is.?

Affecting, imaginative, and visceral enough that you?ll feel the rocking of the train, The Sleeping Car Porter is a stunning accomplishment. Baxter?s name isn?t George. But it?s 1929, and Baxter is lucky enough, as a Black man, to have a job as a sleeping car porter on a train that crisscrosses the country. So when the passengers call him George, he has to just smile and nod and act invisible. What he really wants is to go to dentistry school, but he?ll have to save up a lot of nickel and dime tips to get there, so he puts up with ?George.? On this particular trip out west, the passengers are more unruly than usual, especially when the train is stalled for two extra days; their secrets start to leak out and blur with the sleep-deprivation hallucinations Baxter is having. When he finds a naughty postcard of two queer men, Baxter?s memories and longings are reawakened; keeping it puts his job in peril, but he can?t part with the postcard or his thoughts of Edwin Drew, Porter Instructor. "Suzette Mayr?s The Sleeping Car Porter offers a richly detailed account of a particular occupation and time?train porter on a Canadian passenger train in 1929?and unforcedly allows it to illuminate the societal strictures imposed on black men at the time?and today. Baxter is a secretly-queer and sleep-deprived porter saving up for dental school, working a system that periodically assigns unexplained demerits, and once a certain threshold is reached, the porter loses his job. Thus, success is impossible, the best one can do is to fail slowly. As Baxter takes a cross-continental run, the boarding passengers have more secrets than an Agatha Christie cast, creating a powder keg on train tracks. The Sleeping Car Porter is an engaging and illuminating novel about the costs of work, service, and secrets." ? Keith Mosman, Powell's Books "I thought The Sleeping Car Porter was fantastic! It strikes a balance between being about the struggles of being black and gay at that time while not being too heavy handed with it. I enjoyed his constant mental math on how many demerits he might receive for each infraction. The reader really gets a sense of the conflict that Baxter is going through. I really liked reading a book from the perspective of a porter." ? Hunter Gillum, Beaverdale Books.…
