When identities cross boundaries, with love that knows no bounds.
 
BRIDGES AND ISLANDS features 20 stories that center the biracial and bicultural experience from award-winning and bestselling authors. From platonic and romantic love to grief and heartbreak, these stories explore navigating life at the intersection of identities, and what it means to grow up surrounded by a multitude of traditions, languages, cultures, and interpersonal dynamics.
Returning to a father’s homeland. Trying to fit in at chaotic weddings and lavish birthday parties where not all are welcome. Processing grief at family gatherings. Figuring out how to share the news of a new relationship with loved ones. This collection celebrates bicultural and biracial characters at the helm of their own narratives, as they approach life with a renewed sense of hope and acceptance.
