Given that we’re in a particular time in American history, I’m adding more resilience and resistance to my class, LGBTQ2S+ Literature in America, in spring 2026. This includes adding more indigenous voices and more Black voices—as well as more play and magic (all of which often overlap). Here’s a sneak peek of the additions students will get to experience in the spring:

Check out this story summary and then scroll down a bit more for a video of me reading part of the first chapter: The summer before her senior year, Emma Synclair decides to find her true love: either a girl or God. Since she has a crush on her best friend—and on her best friend’s girlfriend—Synclair figures she’ll have better luck with God. Which God? How will she know? Wicca, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity? Her atheist parents are out of the country for three months, so Synclair has the space to try some religions in peace.
