Kong Boys

About Kong Boys:

In summer 2006, twenty-year-old Gerald Yeung and his childhood friends from Hong Kong travel to South America and Africa on their parents’ dime. Confronted by challenges foreign to their privileged upbringing, the “Wannabe Backpackers” persevere in their Christian Dior clothes. They make plans to do it again when they turn thirty.

The decade that follows doesn’t go exactly to plan. Gerald chases the American Dream in a town of twenty thousand and subzero winters. Others pursue a fast-and-furious life in Hong Kong. They all experience failed relationships, career setbacks, and a decreasing ability to impress girls at clubs.

The summer of their thirtieth birthdays, they hit the road again to fulfill a lifelong dream — the 2016 UEFA European Championship. Set during European soccer’s most anticipated event, Kong Boys traces a friendship that transcends distance, culture, and time, dovetailing the different trajectories of seven boys in a decade of changes in Hong Kong. Kong Boys is a celebration of youth, brotherhood, and a sport of incomparable beauty.

Alzheimer’s Daughter by Jean Lee

Alzheimer’s Daughter by Jean Lee

What would you do if both parents were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s on the same day?

Jean Lee worked full time teaching elementary school while she was thrust into a caregiving role for her mom and dad when they were dually diagnosed.

Her memoir, Alzheimer’s Daughter, follows two sisters–– Jean living a mile from her parents, and her sister living 1,000 miles away––through a near-decade journey as they work together to move their parents out of their life-long home, and eventually to a locked memory care facility. At the end of this hand in hand decline, the sisters are honored to be together as their parents breath their last breath.

Sadness and loss contrast with tenderness and devotion as Lee uses her elderly parents’ WWII love letters, found during the final clean out, as chapter beginnings.

Reviewers say Alzheimer’s Daughter is written with wincing honesty about the cruel affects of the disease, but a WWII love story held together by faith and family is contained within the pages.

It’ll Feel Better When it Quits Hurting

About It’ll Feel Better When it Quits Hurting:

Author Lisa Orban is upfront that the reader shouldn’t dive into her world expecting resolution and recovery by the end of the book, and it’s a refreshing way to discover beauty and inspiration from the unconventional. Orban consistently illustrates this possibility through her reminiscences of both circumstance and consequence. Although her life is an emotional rollercoaster of ups, downs, twists and turns, she manages to keep the reigns steady on chaos and retains balance between tragedy and hilarity through her tales. While some may argue that there may be peace in finding normality, Orban demonstrates how deviating from social obedience encourages us to define the world we live in by giving it meaning, and she does just that.

“44, Becoming Self” by Ania K

About “44, Becoming Self” by Ania K:

Do you think you are born with a life purpose? If so, is there also a time frame in which you meant to fulfill it? Is the Voice that lives within us the only compass that guides us to its fulfillment?
From a very young age, Ania knows there is something that she wants to accomplish. Some sense of purpose or mission that urges her to move out of her home country, Poland. And so she set herself on a life-changing journey to find it.
Through living in Sweden and the United States, unsuccessful relationships with men, and working at the most glamorous boutiques of Chanel, Dior, Valentino, and Tom Ford, she keeps pushing on. As her restless search continues, she finds herself entering the world of personal growth, seeing Jesus in her first meditation with Jack Canfield, walking the fire with Tony Robbins, and talking to Abraham-Hicks from a hot seat.
One thing leads to another. But it is that trip to Normandy in France where she discovers what she was looking for 44 years…

Nobody Gets Out Of Catering Alive… By Joe Montaperto

About Nobody Gets Out Of Catering Alive… By Joe Montaperto:

A short time ago, Joe Montaperto was living the life. Enjoying the spotlight of the New York City comedy circuit. Performing with the likes of Jon Stewart and John Leguizamo. He was going to be a star. No doubt. Now, he sits in his old bedroom at his parent’s house in New Jersey having a rather one-sided conversation with his mysteriously ever present Napoleon statue at three o’clock in the morning. It is 1990, he’s just 30 years old, and he is rapidly losing his precious curly hair. And he’s afraid of napkins. The only time he laughs is watching old TV reruns of “Lost In Space”.

Disillusioned with his NYC stand-up comedy career, Joe makes a concerted attempt to reconcile madness with a intensive journey through spiritual teachings, social activism, and various dysfunctional relationships, only to discover, to his horror, that he can’t escape the catering industry.

Remember to Breathe: Growing Through the Stages of Grief

About Remember to Breathe: Growing Through the Stages of Grief:

Joseph Fannell was just twenty-two years-old when he lost his life, the victim of a senseless car accident. A brother, an uncle, a budding spoken word performance artist, and an expert at sinking two and three-pointers, he was most of all, my beloved son.

What does it feel like to lose your child? How can any parent ever expect to endure such grief? These are just some of the traumatic questions that have haunted me since hearing the news no mother, no parent, is ever prepared to receive.

“Remember to Breathe” chronicles the stages of my journey through loss. It describes my agony, sadness, and challenges. Certainly, everyone’s path through suffering is personal and unique. Yet, by presenting what I endured, it’s my sincerest desire this story lightens someone else’s load. By opening up, by showing the good along with the bad, perhaps my story will offer you a bit of solace and some needed hope that you, too, will get through the very worst life can offer. Even if it’s just one day at a time.
