When Hannah meets Jillian, their connection is instant and addictive. Both unique and talented, but equally adrift in trying to determine and then pursue their goals, they become each otherโ€™s anchor until Jillianโ€™s lies threaten to unravel the lives theyโ€™ve built.
In this insightful exploration of friendship and identity, Judaism and cults, and hypocrisy and family Danila Botha brings her signature empathy and nuance into worlds few are intimately familiar with, with riveting results. Poignant and moving, A Place for People Like Us is a story that will stay with you for a long time.

In the year 2020, at the height of the pandemic, an enigmatic woman gives birth to a boy named Edisson. Fourteen years later, the boy performs a magic show unlike any ever staged โ€“ a magic show destined to be the most watched, most debated, most controversial in history. Sitting in the audience is a ruin of a man named Jeremy Vanderbilt Delaney, a onetime celebrity journalist with patrician blood and a privileged heritage. As the remarkable magic show develops, events transpire to reveal how religious fanaticism and the deep fracture in American culture shattered Jeremy Delaneyโ€™s life and branded him with the name Jeremiah. Ultimately, Edissonโ€™s show demonstrates a liberating path for Jeremiah, and offers a healing lesson for a divided America.

A teenaged refugee chases stardom but finds her purpose in Canadaโ€™s abortion-rights movement. Fleeing Chile after the 1973 coup, sixteen-year-old Paulina and her older brother Ernesto settle in Toronto. While Ernesto dreams of a glorious homecoming, Paulina embraces her liberation from the conventional life expected of her back home. Yet despite landing her first big role on a popular childrenโ€™s cartoon, and her first girlfriend, she cannot escape survivorโ€™s guilt. Haunted by the death of a childhood friend, she joins the underground struggle for reproductive freedom. But when a fellow exile pleads for her help terminating a pregnancy, Paulinaโ€™s public and private selves threaten to collide.
