As a college dropout navigating her queer identity, Tala lands an internship that transplants her from conservative Utah to quirky Key West, Florida. When the internship doesn't go as planned, Tala finds herself homeless in paradise. Soon couch-surfing while balancing a full-time and part-time job, finally in 2009, at the beginning of the nationwide housing crisis, Tala catches a financial break when she moves into a foreclosed home with Felicity--a New Age vegan diva--and her Rainbow tribe. When Tala challenges Felicity's bizarre house rules, she ignites a battle for lordship over the Squat House and its residents. ISLAND OF MISFIT TOYS is a humorously written true story about finding not just a house but a place to call home.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
