Setting can be gritty but can also be sublime, no longer relegated to urban locales and seedy hotel rooms but also mansions and swimming pools. Hence, Palm Springs, which may seem like an odd setting for a collection of dark short stories--it's so sunny and bright here. The quality of light is unlike anywhere else, and with an average of three hundred sunny days a year, what could go wrong? . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories in this collection come on like the wicked dust storms common to the area.

These are not stories you'll read in the glossy coffee-table books that feature Palm Springs's good life. There is indeed a lush life to be found here, but for the characters in these stories, it's often just out of reach.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Akashic Books, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51837247750375,"sku":"9781617759284","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_fc3ef592-1df0-4c4b-b2ed-4a47bde7f471.jpg?v=1772679776"},{"product_id":"what-if-we-were-all-friends","title":"What if We Were All Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eFrom the beloved What If We Were® series comes a heartwarming story about the power of friendship, kindness, and belonging!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat If We Were All Friends! takes children on a joyful journey exploring what our world would look like if everyone chose compassion, inclusion, and genuine friendship—no matter our differences.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Parents teaching children about empathy, kindness, and making friends\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Teachers reinforcing SEL lessons on friendship, cooperation, and community building\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ School Counselors addressing bullying prevention and social skills\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✅ Classrooms implementing PBIS and creating positive peer relationships\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWhat Makes This Book Special:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Engaging, rhyming text that captures children’s imagination\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Vibrant, diverse illustrations featuring children of all backgrounds\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Addresses real friendship challenges: exclusion, loneliness, finding common ground\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Perfectly pairs with “What If We Were All The Same!” for complete diversity + inclusion lessons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Aligns with Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies and PBIS frameworks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e∙ Includes discussion questions to extend learning at home and school\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWhy Readers Love This Series:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“A must-have for every classroom library!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e”“My students reference these books when solving conflicts.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Beautiful message delivered in a way kids actually understand.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eTeach empathy.

Or to the set of the hit show that you--as a twenty-five-year-old--are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it--even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her--because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition.
