Description:"I think the other writers, always searching for their next story, looked at me-with my brown skin, bright orange hair and hot pink lipstick-and wanted to collect me. I was something peculiar to them. And I was more than happy to let them, if I got something in return."A school like UC Santa Barbara should be paradise. It's frat boys skipping class to surf three steps from their dorms. It's day-long ragers and girls in bikinis on a Monday. In the party town of Isla Vista, college years are meant to be reckless, inebriated, and untouchable. Yet, everyone is trying to be something they're not. For Maya Johnson, a twenty-one-year-old queer writer, adulthood becomes an aimless journey through isolation and elitism in the deceiving glow of the Santa Barbara ocean. Then, an ominous, racially-charged note changes her life. From egotistical authors to predatory professors, toxic relationships define Maya's experience living in Santa Barbara. Fruitlessly, she searches for fulfillment through love and academic success, until death complicates all she knows about her family and herself. With dry humor, an acute sensitivity, and scathing wit, Maya paints a complex portrait of the Black Californian experience. She connects ideas of tokenism and black excellence, motherhood and perfectionism, and family and spirituality to find her way home.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
