Daphne Palasi Andreades Books in Order

A group of girls from immigrant families grows up together in Queens, balancing family expectations with American city life. As adulthood sends them toward different futures, ambition and loyalty strain friendships rooted in a neighborhood none can entirely leave behind.

After a successful debut, a writer struggles to create a second book while feeling increasingly alienated from art and everyday life. Unexplained visions, unfamiliar handwriting, and a mysterious figure blur the boundary between fiction and reality as personal relationships begin to fray.
