A young woman's escape to the coast becomes a quiet reckoning with emotional unavailability, self-betrayal, and the long road back to believing she is enough. Faith is a tender, introspective novel, a story about learning that belief is not blind hope, but the courage to remain open. In the end, her name becomes her truth - a reminder that the greatest act of love is to never stop believing, even when it hurts. - This story explores themes that may feel intense or emotionally challenging at times.

*Watty's Shortlist!* Asher didn't know what he expected when he woke up in the desert, but it certainly wasn't to be shot at. It's 2056 and Asher-along with a group of twenty-one boys who can't remember a thing-is left reeling after barely surviving the battle that marked the beginning of his only memories. Dropped in the West Bank with nothing aside from the clothes on their backs and chains at their necks, the group scours the land, desperate to solve the mystery of their arrival. As Asher discovers the truth, he realizes that the fate of humanity may as well rest in his hands. Cover credit: @TheLittleMissShadow
