This month’s book selection is "Light from Uncommon Stars". It is a science fiction and fantasy novel by Ryka Aoki, set in California's San Gabriel Valley.

The story follows Shizuka Satomi, who made a deal with the devil and must convince seven violin prodigies to trade their souls to save her own. She has already delivered six and believes she has found her final candidate in Katrina Nguyen, a talented young transgender runaway.

However, everything changes when Shizuka meets Lan Tran—a retired starship captain and interstellar refugee—at a local donut shop. As the lives of these three women intertwine, the story explores themes of magic, identity, and hope, ultimately showing the power of finding a family worth crossing the universe for.
