Precious Silver Chopsticks by Mae Adams

Precious Silver Chopsticks by Mae Adams

Precious Silver Chopsticks is a real-life story, a kaleidoscopic tapestry interwoven with threads of the lives of these family members:
Grandpa, a descendant of a Chinese imperial scholar and a Korean princess, was a landlord, herbal medicine doctor, a Christian minister, and a Kung Fu instructor.
Grandma, a commoner, and ex-sea-diver raised Mae and gave her the silver chopsticks to symbolize her love.
Father, a prodigy and a musician, suffered from tuberculosis.
Mother, the daughter of a nobleman, was a college graduate when society considered women as second-class citizens. Her relationship with Mae was stormy.
Little-Pa, a mathematical genius, loved Mae like a father.
Big-Sis, Mae’s older sister, was a movie star in the 1950s.
Intaek, Mae’s little brother, was a commercial designer-artist.
Mae, the useless second daughter, is the narrator of this book.
A U.S. Marine Colonel, Hewitt Dayne Adams, commanded the First Marine Regiment during the Korean War and later married Mae.
Mae uses ironic humor to tell us about the Korean spirit and culture through her birth and education, her father’s death and his funeral, Grandpa’s sixtieth birthday, and a Korean wedding that coincides with the Japanese occupation. After World War II, the family escapes to South Korea at the personal loss of Grandma. Her story of the Korean War from a refugee’s point of view and survival through the indescribable chaos is vivid and heartbreaking.
The telling of her life story—the good, the bad, and all in truth—was an arduous task that demanded much emotional exertion. Since English is Mae’s fourth language, she wrote this book from her heart, out of love and gratitude for her grandma and husband. You will get some insight into other people’s lives lived in different corners of our world at another time in history through the journey of this book.

Vengeance, The Second Book of The Orphan’s Tale by D M Wilder


About Featured Book: Vengeance, The Second Book of The Orphan’s Tale by D M Wilder

Sale price $3.00 10/2/21 – 10/25/21

The most terrible criminals…have long memories.

Now that the threat of a war between England and France has been foiled, life can flow in peace again.
Malet and Elise are planning their Christmas wedding.

Larouche has found a place to live, where he can earn some money and, perhaps, find an occupation that will suit him. Since his employer and landlord is in no hurry to make him work, Larouche has a chance to learn about medicine while dealing with a pack of students with mayhem on their mind.

And then chaos descends as a police precinct is attacked by insurgents and its Chief Inspector is killed.

Malet’s investigation leads him to some revolutionary students and, perhaps, a would-be master criminal who views Malet as a threat to be exterminated along with anyone he values. Suddenly the people that Malet holds dear are being attacked, and it is clear that he is marked for assassination, himself.

As the situation grows more dangerous, Elise is planning for their wedding, and Malet, under protective custody, is dealing with a troupe of bodyguards apparently recruited from the Sureté.

.…And who are the Watchers in the Shadows?

It should be a hectic Christmas.

House Made of Rivers by Sasha Middleton

About House Made of Rivers by Sasha Middleton

Recovery is never an easy road. Even less so when you’re a famous model known for being dangerously underweight and the media buzzards don’t realize that your bones have already been picked clean.

Kai Riviere just wants a bit of solitude, a place to rest, a place to heal. Wolf Melua has been captivated by Kai Riviere since he first laid eyes on nothing more than a glossy of her. Over the last five years, she’s been his muse. He’s followed her career almost obsessively and every time she disappears from the limelight, the temptation to find a way to connect with her, to come to her rescue, drives him to his knees.

But Kai is no Cinderella in need of a prince. Her shuttered eyes say it all to him—she’d spit in his face, break a foot off, and strut her stuff in the other direction if he ever tried. Three months into her longest disappearance yet, fate, kismet, the universe, or plain old luck has landed her in his backyard. And… she’s healthier. Now, if he can get her eyes to un-shutter just a little bit more, maybe then she can see the reason why a certain Wolf loves ‘seas’ and ‘rivers’ oh, so much.

The Katyn Diaries by Marek Sobieralski

About The Katyn Diaries by Marek Sobieralski

The Katyn Diaries – first English translation of diaries found at Katyn. With illustrations by Rafal Mroz.

Denied by the Soviets, and hushed up by Poland’s allies.

The Katyn massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia that was carried out by the Soviet Union’s secret police – the NKVD – in April and May 1940.

Mass graves were discovered in 1942, and with the bodies there were numerous Polish artefacts such as letters, diaries, photographs and identification tags. They were packed into crates and evacuated westward in 1944.

There was a small crate, into which were placed twenty-two diaries and personal notes. Four copies of these items were made soon afterwards in Krakow, and the Polish Home Army then delivered its transcripts to the Polish government in exile, in London.

Presented for you here are English translations of twelve of those diaries, which open a window into the individual and personal tragedies of these very different individuals. They give us an insight into their everyday lives in captivity, and the very real and very human emotions and hardships they experienced during what was undoubtedly a difficult and testing time.

Reviews of The Katyn Diaries:
The diaries of the prisoners of Kozelsk camp, discovered on their bodies in 1943, provide a fascinating insight into daily life in the NKVD prison camps where the men were held between September 1939 and April/May 1940. By making the diaries available in English for the first time, Marek Sobieralski renders a valuable service to scholarship on this subject.
Jane Rogoyska
Historian and biographer, acclaimed author of Gerda Taro: Inventing Robert Capa

Miraculously survived, these twelve notebooks by the victims of the Katyn massacre reveal the details of their life in captivity, and document their subjective experiences. Frozen and underfed, these young officers took their ordeal with peace of mind. “This trip is not good at all”, wrote one of them. “Will they hand us over to the Germans? Will we sit here?”, asked another. “The Bolsheviks are generally decent people”. Though conditions were worsening, letters were permitted and, sometimes, actually arriving. Crowded in the ruined monasteries, these Poles admired the beauty of the Russian woods and churches. They received vaccinations for typhus and watched Soviet films with the titles such as “Golden Taiga” or “Great Comrade”. They wrote down their nightdreams and even organised “spiritualist seances“ to see their dear ones. Until the last moments, they did not anticipate their forthcoming end. Carefully translated and commented by a grandson of Polish refugees to England, this stunning collection will be cherished by its readers.
