Resumen

Wise-cracking Wiley Cantrell is loud and roaringly outrageous -- and he needs to be to keep his deeply religious neighbors and family in the Deep South at bay. A failed writer on food stamps, Wiley works a minimum wage job and barely manages to keep himself and his deaf son, Noah, more than a stone’s throw away from Dumpster-diving.<br><br>Noah was a meth baby and has the birth defects to prove it. He sees how lonely his father is and tries to help him find a boyfriend while Wiley struggles to help Noah have a relationship with his incarcerated mother, who believes the best way to feed a child is with a slingshot. No wonder Noah becomes Wiley’s biggest supporter when Boston nurse Jackson Ledbetter walks past Wiley’s cash register and sets his sugar tree on fire.<br><br>Jackson falls like a wet mule wearing concrete boots for Wiley’s sense of humor. And while Wiley represents much of the best of the South, Jackson is hiding a secret that could threaten this new family in the making.<br><br>When North meets South, the cultural misunderstandings are many, but so are the laughs, and the tears, but, as they say down in Dixie, it’s all good.

Seedship

In a distant future, humanity has exhausted Earth's resources, and the only hope for survival is to search for a new habitable planet. The Seedship program was created to launch vessels into space, each containing a self-sustaining ecosystem designed to grow and thrive on a new planet. 17-year-old Alex, a gay teen from Earth, has always dreamed of exploring the universe and being part of the Seedship program. He is selected to join the crew of Seedship X-15, which is on a mission to explore a distant planet that shows promising signs of being able to support human life. Alex is thrilled to be part of the mission, but he soon discovers that the journey is not going to be easy. The trip takes several years, and the crew must go into hibernation for most of the journey. Alex struggles with the isolation and loneliness, but he finds solace in the virtual reality simulations provided by the ship's computer. When the crew finally arrives at their destination, they discover that the planet is inhabited by an intelligent alien species that is not happy about their arrival. The aliens see humans as a threat to their way of life, and they are not willing to share their planet. As tensions rise between the humans and the aliens, Alex forms a close bond with a fellow crew member, a gay teen named Ryan. Together, they must find a way to communicate with the aliens and convince them that they come in peace. But when they discover a dark secret about the Seedship program, they must decide whether to reveal the truth and risk jeopardizing the mission or keep it a secret and continue their search for a new home. Will Alex and Ryan be able to save the mission and find a new home for humanity, or will their love be their downfall? The fate of the Seedship program hangs in the balance as Alex and Ryan navigate the dangers of an alien world and the complexities of their relationship.
