Blue boy / by Satyal, Rakesh.(CARDINAL)341899;
Satyal's lovely coming-of-age debut charts an Indian-American boy's transformation from mere mortal to Krishnaji, the blue-skinned Hindu deity. Twelve-year-old Kiran Sharma's a bit of an outcast: he likes ballet and playing with his mother's makeup. He also reveres his Indian heritage and convinces himself that the reason he's having trouble fitting in is because he's actually the 10th reincarnation of Krishnaji. He plans to come out to the world at the 1992 Martin Van Buren Elementary School talent show, and much of the book revels in his comical preparations as he creates his costume, plays the flute and practices his dance moves to a Whitney Houston song. But as the performance approaches, something strange happens: Kiran's skin begins to turn blue. Satyal writes with a graceful ease, finding new humor in common awkward pre-teen moments and giving readers a delightful and lively young protagonist.

The royal Abduls / by Koya, Ramiza Shamoun,author.;
"Ramiza Shamoun Koya reveals the devastating cost of anti-Muslim sentiment in The Royal Abduls, her debut novel about an Indian-America family. Evolutionary biologist Amina Abdul accepts a post-doc in Washington, DC, choosing her career studying hybrid zones over a faltering West Coast romance. Her brother and sister-in-law welcome her to the city, but their marriage is crumbling, and they soon rely on her to keep their son company. Omar, hungry to understand his cultural roots, fakes an Indian accent, invents a royal past, and peppers his aunt with questions about their cultural heritage. When he brings an ornamental knife to school, his expulsion triggers a downward spiral for his family, even as Amina struggles to find her own place in an America now at war with people who look like her. With The Royal Abduls, Ramiza Koya ignites the canon of post-9/11 literature with a deft portrait of second-generation American identity"--

The true happiness company : a memoir / by Dinavahi, Veena,author.;
It is hard for Veena Dinavahi to live while her classmates keep dying. The high-achieving daughter of loving Indian immigrants, Veena lives in a typical white American suburb-except for its unusually high suicide rate. She tries to manage her mental health in all the right ways, but nothing works. Then, on one late-night Google search, her mom finds Bob Lyon-a 60-year-old man in the backwoods of Georgia who says he can make Veena want to live again. He calls himself "The True Happiness Company" and, as their relationship progresses,"Daddy." Veena becomes increasingly enveloped into his strangely close-knit community, and before she knows it, she's a college dropout, married mother of three, and a Mormon convert who has gotten way too good at dismissing her gut feeling that something is wrong. Veena begins to question whether true happiness can even exist as an absolute. Driven to understand her journey, she re-enrolls in college, where studying psychology proves revelatory as she considers her experience: a singular exploration of what it means to lose and reclaim your identity, and learn to trust your intuition in a world determined to annihilate it.
