1. The Strange And Beautiful Sorrows Of Ava Lavender
Born with a pair of white wings, Ava Lavender grows up at the center of a multigenerational family saga where magic, longing, and grief weave through the lives of those around her. Told in lyrical, fairy-tale prose, the story traces the ironies of fate, the burden of inherited secrets and desires, and how love—both tender and destructive—shapes identity and the longing for belonging. It is an elegiac, oddly hopeful portrait of how myth and memory sustain and warp a family’s hopes across generations.
