Hate Hunters
The road to hilarity is paved with good intentions in this timely satire about healing the world and oneself.
In the near future, Alma is a tolerance counselor. She's known for being patient and kind with even her most difficult clients as she schools them on the finer points of white privilege, cultural appropriation, and the lasting ravages of colonialism. But inside, she's quietly buckling under the weight of centuries of collective guilt. So when a DNA test indicates she's 20 percent black, it's more than just her demographic check box that changes. She feels taller, more alive, more connected to the land. Her colleagues at the Tolerance Department don't appreciate her new identity. But she feels unstoppable. And when she begins to sympathize with a client she's supposed to be reforming, and gets involved with an idealistic lawyer trying to uplift Muslims throughout the globe-unaware that his good intentions are getting lost in translation-the resulting explosions leave her scrambling to find footing in a world that's suddenly no longer as black, white, and brown as it once seemed. If all the world's a stage, this original, thought-provoking novel asks what happens when we begin to bristle at our assigned roles and yearn to be more.
