An Otherwise Award<\/a> (formerly the Tiptree Award) Honor List Book<\/strong>

“With high stakes and a solid emotional core, and a perfect balance of speculation and an all-too-real vision of climate apocalypse, Kern shows the necessity of compassion, empathy, and community in the face of crisis.”
\u2014 Publishers Weekly starred review

“This book is a ghost story, but it\u2019s a love story too: to the queer community, to those we\u2019ve lost, and all we stand to lose if we don\u2019t take drastic action. Kern\u2019s prose is tremendously effective and will both break your heart and offer hope.\u201d
\u2014 Chicago Review of Books<\/p>

About the Book<\/h2>

When an unprecedented hurricane devastates the city of Houston, Noah Mishner finds shelter in the Dallas Mavericks\u2019 basketball arena. Though he finds community among other queer refugees, Noah fears his trans and Jewish identities put him at risk with certain “capital-T” Texans. His fears take form when he starts seeing visions of his great-grandfather Abe, who fled Nazi Germany as a boy. As the climate crisis intensifies and conditions in the shelter deteriorate, Abe’s ghost grows more powerful. Ultimately, Noah must decide whether he can trust his ancestor \u2014 and whether he’s willing to sacrifice his identity and community in order to survive. <\/p>
