Molly is worried about riding the school bus on her first day of kindergarten, but a friendly older girl helps her adjust.
Nine-year-old Lilly, often left alone by her unfavorable parents, climbs the steps of the church bus and immediately finds a place in the hearts of Jeff and Jenny Singleton and Peter, the bus helper. She fondly calls him 'Petah' and becomes his shadow. Their friendship deepens over the next several years. When Lilly's mother whisks her and her sisters away in the middle of the night, Lilly fears she will never see Peter, Jeff, or Jenny again. That fear is soon realized when her mother forbids her from ever contacting anyone from their small Tennessee town again. Lilly's sudden disappearance breaks not only her heart, but the hearts of her church-bus friends as well. Five years later, desiring to overcome her family's less-than-reputable history, Lilly finds work as a waitress and enrolls at the local community college. She is more than shocked when she walks into her English class and discovers that Peter is the professor. He is just as surprised to see her. The two have lunch and resume their relationship right where they left off five years earlier. After spending much time together outside of class, Lilly and Peter realize their feelings for each other now run deeper than mere friendship. But Peter's girlfriend and the fact that he is her professor make beginning a romantic relationship difficult. Jump on and take The Bus Ride with Peter and Lilly. Their captivating journey is sweet but not without its struggles.

Fifty years later, The Bus Ride That Changed History retraces that chain of events—introducing the civil rights movement, one idea at a time. Take a ride through history in this unique retelling of what happened when one brave woman refused to stand up so that a white passenger could sit down.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The lives of three women—transgender and cisgender—collide after an unexpected pregnancy forces them to confront their deepest desires in “one of the most celebrated novels of the year” (Time) “Reading this novel is like holding a live wire in your hand.”—Vulture One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century Named one of the Best Books of the Year by more than twenty publications, including The New York Times Book Review, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, Time, Vogue, Esquire, Vulture, and Autostraddle PEN/Hemingway Award Winner • Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Gotham Book Prize • Longlisted for The Women’s Prize • Roxane Gay’s Audacious Book Club Pick • New York Times Editors’ Choice Reese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didn't hate. She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men. Ames isn't happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese—and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Ames's boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she's pregnant with his baby—and that she's not sure whether she wants to keep it—Ames wonders if this is the chance he's been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family—and raise the baby together? This provocative debut is about what happens at the emotional, messy, vulnerable corners of womanhood that platitudes and good intentions can't reach. Torrey Peters brilliantly and fearlessly navigates the most dangerous taboos around gender, sex, and relationships, gifting us a thrillingly original, witty, and deeply moving novel.
Picking up from where other San Francisco public transit historians left off, Peter Felton's Daily Public Transit Ridership: The Inside Scoop gives readers an acute internal perspective as to the routine external operations of the late 20th-early 21st Century-era San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (or "Muni" as it is more commonly nicknamed). Ranging from vehicular characteristics to urban development above and below ground level, Felton provides intricate details into the life and times of the "average Joe" public transit rider traveling around the City of San Francisco by bus or subway train. With a majority of the information taken strictly from a young lifetime of permanent public custom, Felton colorfully outlines the awe and wonder arising from riding this means of public service day-in-and-day-out, acknowledging realities and comparing-contrasting past, present, and future transit modalities drawn completely from personal experience and observation yet portrayed entirely on a "general basis."

This fiercely funny memoir is set in Melbourne during the 1940s. The entrenched Protestant–Catholic divide of those times informs the narrative. Juxtaposed is the gulf between Melburnians and the thousands of Yanks stationed in their city following Pearl Harbor; the dizzying effect on the women had far-reaching consequences. Growing resentment and the increasing fear of a Japanese invasion add to the tension. Born in 1938, Peter relates that he was conceived twice. The conception resulting in his parents’ marriage occurs in the back of a ’36 Chevy. Five months after the wedding, his mother (who wasn’t above telling a little fib) experiences the first signs of pregnancy: it is then she knows that she doesn’t want to be a mother. As the war escalates Peter’s father joins the RAAF, leaving Peter with a mother who resents having a small child to care for. Neglected, cold and hungry, shame engulfs him when his mother entertains a stream of GIs. Blending the matter-of-fact voice of a child with the accomplished voice of a journalist, Peter’s Wars captures the precise detail of the period: a kitchen without heating or running water, black market grog, rationing … the combination of satire and realism highlighting human truths with stark acuity. When Peter turns ten, his rich Catholic grandmother decides his religious education should not be neglected any longer and enrols him at Xavier College. There, Peter learns about eternal damnation and hellfire. Terrified, he responds by trying to make up for ten years of religious ignorance by attending daily mass and amassing enough ‘good’ points to save his soul. Peter’s Wars is a memoir that begins and ends with the defining factors of every human life: time and place. PRAISE FOR THE BOOK 'Peter's vivid writing has a fly-on-the-wall immediacy which, when filtered through a child's all-seeing eyes, captures the very essence of Melbourne society and Australia as a whole during World War II.' - Sean Doyle, author of Australia's Trail-Blazing First Novelist: John Lang 'This sparkling memoir is as uniquely Australian as Summer of the Seventeenth Doll and The Castle.’ - Carrolline Rhodes, author and editor
