Kayla sits on an ornate Victorian sofa holding aloft a cocktail in a stemmed glass. She is wearing a doll-esque baby blue dress that is all gauzy with incredibly puffy sleeves, layers of pearls and a lace choker, ribbons in her hair which is braided, and glasses. She is holding her book, Helen House, which is pink with the title on it in white whimsical font and the "o" in house replaced with a smudgey lipstick kiss.

An image made of two repeating images of the author Sarah Thankam Mathews photo and the cover of her book All This Could Be Different. The author is a South Asian woman with long dark hair wearing a red and black boldly patterned top and orange earrings. She is looking at the viewer. The cover of all this could be different features a painting of a crowded room of a diverse array of people all interacting, drinking, talking, sitting, standing, leaning on each other. It is very colorful.
