More about the book

Set against the backdrop of a devastating hurricane in Houston, Noah Mishner seeks refuge in a Dallas Mavericks' arena, where he connects with other queer individuals. However, his identities as a trans person and a Jew heighten his fears of hostility from certain Texans. Haunted by the ghost of his great-grandfather Abe, a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany, Noah confronts the challenges of survival as the climate crisis worsens. He faces a crucial choice: trust his ancestor's guidance or protect his identity and community.
