1. The Parking Lot Attendant
Set against the backdrop of a mysterious island commune, this novel follows the journey of a young Ethiopian-American girl who becomes entangled in the enigmatic world of a charismatic parking lot attendant named Ayale. As she navigates the complexities of identity, belonging, and loyalty, she finds herself drawn into Ayale's shadowy operations, which blur the lines between mentor and manipulator. Through a series of flashbacks and present-day reflections, the story explores themes of cultural dislocation, the search for community, and the moral ambiguities of power and influence.
