It is just a daily train ride, a little imagination running wild as she enjoys the scenery from her window seat. It is something we all do, right? Rachel Watson makes up innocent stories about the people she sees. For Rachel it is comforting, something steadfast in her crumbling world. She rides the train every morning like she always has, but without the purpose she once had. Her failed marriage and her descent into alcoholism make her an outcast. She rides into town to a job she no longer has, only to come back at the end of the day to a roommate she is lying to. She has no purpose and nothing seems to be changing until she witnesses something important. Rachel's favorite imaginary couple that she peers at every day from the train seem to be having trouble. She calls them Jason and Jess. Rachel can't quite figure out where she fits in. She was wandering around in a drunken stupor the night jess disappears. Rachel starts trying to regain her memories from that night. She tries to piece together the memories of that hazy night. Rachel's new found hobby is a welcome distraction from her life and problems.

Rachel starts out trying to offer a little information into what might have happened to Jess, but she becomes obsessed with the case and the people in it. Rachel tries to fill a void with strangers and a case that, supposedly, has nothing to do with her. As Rachel learns to trust herself and her instincts she comes face to face with something she never expected.

INTRODUCTION On its surface, the main plot of The Japanese Lover is a sweeping tale of clandestine romance set in the midst of social and political upheaval. However, if you peer deeper into the intricacies of the plot, you will notice that at its heart, this is a book about how lives are shaped by both uncontrollable circumstances and by our own actions. The host of characters that the reader will become intimately acquainted with in this book - sweet Irina with her heartbreaking past, Alma the force of nature, steady Ichimei and so on - represent human diversity at its finest and most complex, and show us how life is a constant negotiation between our fears, our values and our passions. Let this book wash over you as you read - see the images of the different lives before your eyes - and imagine what you yourself might do when faced with the same dilemmas our characters are forced to confront. Only by doing so can you truly appreciate the power and beauty of The Japanese Lover. SETTING The bulk of the story takes place at the Lark House senior residence community in San Francisco, California, where Irina Bazili works to uncover the mystery that is Alma Belasco. The Lark House accommodates mainly progressive-minded seniors of all different ability levels, and provides them with a myriad of ways to pass the time - painting, yoga, political protests, marijuana and so on. However the book has many settings and it tends to juxtapose opulence with despair - a scene at the enormous Belasco estate Sea Cliff is quickly followed by a scene of life in Japanese internment camp in the desolate Utah desert. These contrasts serve to highlight the starkly different lives and worlds that the different characters in the book occupy. Available on PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.

In 1939, Louis Zamperini was training for his second Olympics, his eye on the once impossible 4 minute mile. His life stretched out before him, full of promise. Then the war began. The Olympics were cancelled. Pulled into conflict with the rest of the world, Louis enlisted in the Army Air Corps. The Corps sent him to Hawaii as a bombardier on a B-24. When an air battle destroyed their plane and wounded most of their crew, Louis and the remaining men were transferred. Not long after, they were sent out on a rescue mission in a rickety plane that had been cannibalized for parts. The plane went down over the Pacific. Adrift on a raft with his pilot and the new tail gunner, Louis floated for more than a month until their raft reached Japanese territory, where the living men were taken prisoner. He had already survived impossible odds, but the worst of his ordeal was only just cresting the horizon. Available on PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.

SUMMARY\/ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Everything I Never Told You is a very different kind of mystery. It opens like countless other thrillers - a young girl vanishes from her home and is later found at the bottom of a lake, drowned. The town is shocked and fascinated by the tragedy, and the police launch an investigation. But as the mystery unfolds, we find that the clues to Lydia Lee's untimely demise are embedded deep within the history of the girl's family. At first, the Lees seem like the perfect all-American clan, with sixteen-year-old Lydia as the flawless, favored child. However as the Lees mourn and desperately search for answers, the ugly truth of the pursuit of perfection is revealed. The Lees are mixed-race Chinese and white family and in 1977 small town Ohio, they stick out like a sore thumb. Lydia's parents, James and Marilyn each carry deep regrets - James always longed to fit in and have friends, and Marilyn dreamt of being among the ranks of the first woman doctors in America, before pregnancy and marriage dashed her ambitions. So instead they turned their hopes and expectations on Lydia, forcing her to resort to lies and deception to keep them happy. Meanwhile, their other children, Nath and Hannah, watched from the fringes, knowing they would never have their parents' full attention. But Nath knew that Lydia was buckling under the pressure - and something had to give. This novel bounces back and forth in time, detailing the investigation in Lydia's death alongside the Lee's backstory. Each of the remaining family members is keeping secrets from the others, and each holds a piece of the puzzle. Don't expect a stereotypical thriller with this book. Instead, Celeste Ng beautifully reveals the struggle of new kind of family desperately seeking acceptance in America, as well as the darker side of parental pride and ambition. This is a highly entertaining and thought-provoking read that will linger in your mind long after you put it down. Available on PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.

The Wright Brothers is an historical narrative that draws on extensive archival materials, personal journals, and public records to tell the story of the Wright brothers as men of incredible character and determination along the road towards their significant contributions to aviation history. The summary parallels the structure of the book which is divided into three parts. The first part explores the period of the boys' childhood through their work on flight testing various models of gliders. The second part picks up with the addition of the engine to the Wright planes and traces the brother's work through the early stages of powered flight, roughly 1903 to 1908. Part three follows the brothers, now globally famous, through the years when they captured the most attention for their accomplishments. A central aspect of this historical account is the development of Orville and Wilbur Wright as individuals who showed fierce determination in the face of relentless setbacks. It also sheds light on their private nature and their deep bond as brothers. McCullough is a two time winner of the Pulitzer Prize for other historical works, Truman and John Adams. He also won the National Book Award twice and is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His educational background includes a degree in English Literature from Yale University. He is also a well-known narrator, as well as previous host of American Experience.

This review of Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, by Bryan Stevenson, provides a chapter by chapter detailed summary followed by an analysis and critique of the strengths and weaknesses of the book. The main theme explored in the book is the injustice of our criminal justice system. The author uses the case of Walter McMillian's wrongful conviction of murder and imprisonment as an overarching example of how the U.S. justice system does not prosecute fairly. The author focuses on how race, socioeconomic status, and even age have an effect on how certain criminals are convicted. Stevenson uses his personal experience as a lawyer for the Equal Justice Initiative and more than 25 years fighting for the rights of people who could not afford legal counsel as a basis for this novel. Through his own experiences, the author makes the case that it is often the people on the fringe of society who need proper justice and mercy, and yet, they are the ones who are least likely to receive it. By sharing his own case work, the author demonstrates how unjust death penalty convictions have been over the past fifty years and how hard it is to truly make change in the system. The central thesis of the work is that we are more than the worst things we have done. Yet, we live in a country that will, on the basis of one poor choice or decision, condemn a person to life in prison, or worse, death. Even further, law enforcement often targets those who have neither the money nor education to fight back, and this has had a direct correlation to the rise in mass incarceration over the past century. The author's purpose is to shine a light on this and bring about the kind of change that uses mercy as its own form of justice. Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer, social justice activist, and the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. He attended Eastern University and graduated in 1981. After that he attended Harvard Law School where he found his career calling by working for the Southern Center for Human Rights. He has since traveled the country, working for EJI, and speaking about the politics and social injustice of the prison system and death penalty.

OVERVIEW Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex World by General Stanley McChrystal is a New Your Times bestselling book exploring a new organizational model designed to be adaptable in the emerging and unpredictable world created by communication technologies. The author uses his considerable experience as a commander of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in Iraq, as well as drawing on several well researched examples from the corporate world, to make an argument that vertical and compartmentalized organizations are no longer well situated to thrive in the contemporary environment. Instead, he offers a detailed look at how he and others successfully transformed the Task Force based on the principles of shared consciousness and empowered execution. This review offers a detailed summary of the main themes and arguments in the book, followed by an analysis. Retired General McChrystal is largely credited with the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in 2006, who was at that time the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq. At that time he was serving as the commander of the Joint Special Operations Task Force in Iraq. He has also served as Commander of the International Security Assistance Force and U.S. Forces in Afghanistan. He has gone on to found the consulting firm the McChrystal Group along with others from military, academic and civilian sectors. The firm advises organizations on the kinds of practices argued for in this book. Available on PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device.

The main theme explored in the book is that our modern culture has lost its way in terms of teaching new generations the path to building character. Using data gathered from polls and psychological research the author makes the case that people are more isolated, more self-absorbed, and less able to engage in moral reasoning than generations past. The main thrust of the work is a series of what the author calls moral tales about several important historical figures drawn from memoirs, journals and public records. Brooks shows how these people developed strong character through embracing the qualities of humility, self-discipline, and moral realism. He suggests that the road map to building character is in the willingness to engage in the struggle between our virtues and vices towards the goal of living a more moral life. David Brooks is a conservative columnist for The New York Times, senior editor at The Weekly Standard, and contributing editor at Newsweek and Atlantic Monthly.

Vianne and Isabelle Rossignol are two sisters who couldn't be more alike, and have already suffered the tragedy of loosing their mother to illness and their father to grief and alcohol, and instead of brining them closer this has driven them apart. Vianne, a timid, housewife and mother, refuses to believe war is coming, and does everything in her power to ignore the inevitable, naively believing the war will not touch her and her family. Isabelle on the other hand is a rambunctious, angry, beautiful young woman who is overly eager to join in the war effort to keep France safe. When war breaks out in France however, the two soon learn that they cannot go on behaving the way they have; Vianne has to learn to be tough and strong, her husband having been drafted into the war and a German billeting at her home, Vianne now must learn to take control and be strong for those she loves. Isabelle on the other hand learns that the world is not as black and white as she had believed and that fighting for what she believes in is not nearly as glamorous or easy to do as she originally thought. However, it is through all the following years of war, sacrifice and suffering, that these two women, these sisters, come to realize their true selves and what they are really capable of, and after enduring the hardships of cold, starvation, angry and vicious Germans, unimaginable loss and constant fear for their lives, the two come to see what really matters in life; family, love, forgiveness and a strong sense of self.
