This story is, in short, about a monster meeting another monster.  One of the monsters is me. Yunjae was born with a brain condition called Alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends—the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that—but his devoted mother and grandmother aren’t fazed by his condition. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you," and when to laugh. Yunjae grows up content, even happy, with his small family in this quiet, peaceful space. Then on Christmas Eve—Yunjae’s sixteenth birthday—everything changes. A shocking act of random violence shatters his world, leaving him alone and on his own. Struggling to cope with his loss, Yunjae retreats into silent isolation, until troubled teenager Gon arrives at his school and begins to bully Yunjae.  Against all odds, tormentor and victim learn they have more in common than they realized. Gon is stumped by Yunjae’s impassive calm, while Yunjae thinks if he gets to know the hotheaded Gon, he might learn how to experience true feelings. Drawn by curiosity, the two strike up a surprising friendship. As Yunjae begins to open his life to new people—including a girl at school—something slowly changes inside him. And when Gon suddenly finds his life in danger, it is Yunjae who will step outside of every comfort zone he has created to perhaps become a most unlikely hero.  The Emissary meets The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in this poignant and triumphant story about how love, friendship, and persistence can change a life forever.

John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest disease. Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.

Rumi Matthews is desperate for a fresh start. As a single mom, Rumi's sole focus is providing for her daughter and giving her the life she never had—one filled with love and security. She never thought she would be strong enough to break the cycle of abuse, not until the night her boyfriend takes things too far. Fighting for her life, Rumi escapes, vowing to never let anything—or anyone—ever get close enough to hurt her or her daughter again. One year later, Rumi is content as a barista and thankful for the new best friend her job has given her. Though her circle is small, she is safe, and she is happy. But most importantly, so is her daughter. Yet Rumi can't help but wonder if she's still keeping the people around her at an arm's length. She doesn't need a partner—or want one after her last relationship—but maybe a few more friends couldn't hurt. Enter Jack Hastings, the grief-ridden firefighter who recently came back to town. After months of isolation—hiding in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, away from anything and anyone that reminds him of why he ran—Jack knows he needs to come home. He has yet to process his feelings about why he left in the first place and is now reeling with PTSD, but he’s back in town, convinced that he can just put it all behind him and move on. He’s struggling to reclaim a sense of purpose when he stumbles upon Rumi, full of questions she’s too afraid to ask and a resilience he can't ignore. The two find comfort in one another, learning to trust not only each other, but themselves too. Their connection slowly becomes something neither of them thought they were ready for but maybe something that could save them both. But, as their friendship deepens, will they be able to confront the pasts they’ve tried to outrun? Together, Rumi and Jack learn that not all is lost when everything around you seems to burn to the ground. But rather, it is possible for something new to rise from the ashes.
